Stage 11 is wrapped, bringing in more than $22 million. For a meme coin, that’s impressive traction.
But alongside it, BlockDAG (BDAG) is operating on another level entirely.
The project has raised over $383 million, moved 25 billion coins, and sits at $0.0276 in Batch 29, highlighting scale beyond meme-driven runs.
LILPEPE thrives on cultural buzz, but BlockDAG pushes forward with tech that’s built to last.
Its framework is about performance, speed, and real-world utility, qualities that matter when memes lose momentum.
One is selling a story, the other is delivering architecture and output.
As presales crowd the market, the split between hype and hard delivery is becoming obvious.
LILPEPE grows fast, but utility still absent
The LILPEPE presale is attracting plenty of chatter, raking in more than $22 million and releasing billions of coins during Stage 11.
It’s anchored in Ethereum and draws heavily from the cultural force of Pepe fandom, giving it a strong brand push.
Still, tangible utility is absent. There’s no functional mining app, no live dashboards, and no tech layer ready for user interaction.
At present, its momentum is built more on clever branding and internet culture than actual infrastructure.
That doesn’t erase the buzz; it simply highlights the gap between speculative fire and proven systems.
Meme projects are unpredictable: some explode upward, while others fade just as quickly.
The uncertainty lies in whether LILPEPE builds something lasting or remains only a product of hype.
It’s a coin that entertains and excites, but without a working product, its future is more uncertain than its present popularity suggests.
High speed and accessibility set BlockDAG apart
BlockDAG is setting a new standard for what a next-gen Layer 1 can achieve.
By merging blockchain’s secure framework with DAG’s parallel-processing speed, it creates a system where blocks are confirmed simultaneously rather than one by one.
This design pushes throughput between 2,000 and 15,000 TPS, outpacing Ethereum and even Solana’s current benchmarks, making it one of the most scalable setups in the space.
What makes BlockDAG stand out is that this…
