$209.5M Raised and 2,380% ROI— BlockDAG’s Keynote 3 Reveals How it Leaves Immutable and Stack Behind
Crypto has struggled with ease of use for years. Immutable and Stack Capital have seen traction through their focus on blockchain gaming and private market access, but they haven’t resolved the deep-rooted issue of usability. Immutable’s strides in gaming tech are strong, and Stack Capital gives people access to major late-stage companies, but both stop short of making crypto simpler to use.
BlockDAG (BDAG) takes a different route. Its account abstraction feature—complete with smart wallet access, social sign-ins, and easy recovery options—shifts the focus to people instead of tech. In an industry that needs to be easier, BlockDAG may finally be bringing usability to the front.
Immutable: Advancing Blockchain Gaming
Launched in 2018 by Robbie Ferguson, James Ferguson, and Alex Connolly in Sydney, Immutable started by exploring blockchain in gaming. Their first release, Etherbots, brought digital ownership to users through Ethereum. Later, they introduced Gods Unchained, a blockchain-based e-sport, after securing $2.4 million in seed funding in July 2018. By 2019, the company rebranded as Immutable and developed Immutable X with StarkWare—an Ethereum Layer-2 designed for fast and eco-friendly NFT trading.
In 2024, Immutable experienced record-breaking growth by onboarding over 250 financially backed games, more than in all previous years combined. This cemented its role as a major player in blockchain gaming, benefiting partners and those involved in the company’s journey.
Stack: Supporting Late-Stage Business Access
Listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker STCK, Stack Capital Group Inc. focuses on helping shareholders gain access to successful private companies. Through its approach, which includes equity and debt securities, it builds a varied portfolio, allowing people to benefit from high-growth private ventures normally out of public reach.
Its current portfolio includes ten businesses across different industries, such as SpaceX, Canva, and Hopper. These firms added $10.04 per share to Stack Capital’s book value per share as of September 2024. In October, the company launched a $16.7 million funding move to expand into more late-stage opportunities. CEO Jeff Parks remains hopeful about improved IPO market conditions in 2025, which could benefit their held companies and those connected with them.
BlockDAG’s UX Shift Through Account Abstraction
Mass usage of crypto needs simple tools. BlockDAG’s new account abstraction upgrade tackles the most common UX problem—wallets being too hard to use. Instead of using seed phrases that can be lost, it enables social logins, automatic wallet recovery, and permission-based access. Users can log in with Google or Apple IDs, get back lost accounts, and assign access to apps or others from the same wallet.
This isn’t just a helpful feature—it’s the minimum standard needed for large-scale use. Everyday users aren’t coders or tech-savvy—they want an easy and safe way to access their digital items. BlockDAG’s system removes technical roadblocks by allowing traditional web experiences to work smoothly with Web3 tech.
The response shows it’s working. BlockDAG’s crypto presale has raised $209.5 million so far, with more than 19 billion coins sold over 27 batches. The current rate is $0.0248, showing a 2,380% return from the first batch. These figures show real backing for a project that’s solving user-facing issues.
This upgrade does more than change how wallets function—it makes crypto feel more like a smooth app than a complex tool. That’s the kind of change that can bring crypto to more people—and BlockDAG is making it happen.
Why the UX First Approach Sets BlockDAG Apart
Tech improvements don’t mean much if regular people find the system hard to use. Immutable has grown well in gaming, and Stack Capital’s range of companies is strong, but both still work within platforms that expect users to learn crypto habits.
BlockDAG chooses another path. Instead of asking users to adapt, it changes the process itself. With its smart UX upgrades, it brings ease into a system known for complexity. This shift puts real people at the center. If wide use is the goal, making things easy isn’t a side feature—it’s the main need. BlockDAG is actually building with that in mind.
