Crypto has long struggled to bring in everyday users—but things are changing. NEAR Protocol and Aptos have both made solid strides by improving scalability and supporting developers, but they still lean toward users with technical expertise. BlockDAG is heading in a different direction. With tools like the X1 Miner App, the Tap Miner game, and no-code token creators, it’s removing the hurdles that typically block newcomers.
While NEAR and Aptos continue to fine-tune performance, BlockDAG is tackling crypto’s accessibility challenge—creating a smoother path for beginners and hobbyists, not just experts.
NEAR: Speed & Returns Through Sharding
NEAR Protocol is a Layer 1 blockchain using sharding to scale efficiently. With a Proof-of-Stake setup and Nightshade sharding, it can process thousands of transactions per second while keeping fees low and confirmations fast. This structure is great for developers and boosts the performance of decentralized apps. NEAR also aims to be user-friendly, offering readable account names and simple onboarding.
The returns for early NEAR backers have been solid. Over the past year, its token value jumped from $2.72 to around $4.90 by March 2025, an 80% gain. NEAR’s market cap also climbed to roughly $5.77 billion, placing it among the top 30 cryptocurrencies worldwide. With continued growth across DeFi, NFTs, and real-world uses, NEAR is gaining steam. Some predictions suggest its price could hit $8.21 by year’s end, reinforcing trust in its staying power and tech strength.
Aptos: Built for Speed, Security, & Smart Contracts
Aptos is another high-performance Layer 1 blockchain focused on speed, low latency, and strong security. Built using the Move programming language developed at Meta, Aptos lets developers create secure and flexible smart contracts. Its parallel transaction execution and fast confirmation times make it a solid choice for decentralized apps and enterprise-level solutions.
From an investment angle, Aptos has moved steadily upward. In the last year, its APT token rose by about 17%, reaching $13.00 as of March 2025. Forecasts suggest it might climb as high as $15.23 by year-end, with an average around $13.34—offering a potential upside of over 50%.
Backed by big investors and expanding its ecosystem, Aptos is gaining recognition as a serious blockchain project competing with the likes of Ethereum and Solana.
BlockDAG: Making Crypto Easy & Fun for Everyone
BlockDAG is shaking things up by making crypto tools that anyone can use. It’s not just about developers or crypto veterans—it’s about helping everyday users get involved with ease.
A big part of this shift comes from tools like the X1 Miner App, which now has over 750,000 users. It lets people mine BDAG coins right from their phones, no technical skills needed. There’s also the TG Tap Miner game on Telegram, which has drawn over 400,000 players. It turns mining into a simple, rewarding game experience.
And when it comes to creating tokens or NFTs, BlockDAG removes the need for coding. Its no-code token wizard lets users build and launch digital assets in just a few clicks. Whether someone wants to make a community token or a collectible, they can do it without writing a single line of code.
The numbers show just how far BlockDAG has come. It has sold more than 19 billion coins and raised over $210.5 million during its presale. The current price in Batch 27 is $0.0248, which means early supporters in Batch 1 have already seen a 2,380% return.
But BlockDAG isn’t just simplifying crypto—it’s flipping the approach. It’s proving that blockchain can be user-friendly, fun, and still deliver value. It’s laying the foundation for a more inclusive future in the space.
User-Friendly Design Could Shape Blockchain’s Future
Despite their tech achievements, platforms like NEAR and Aptos mostly appeal to developers and experienced crypto users. Their strength in performance is clear, but there’s still a gap when it comes to ease of use. That’s where BlockDAG is stepping in—with a focus on making crypto tools simple for anyone.
From easy mobile mining to tap-based earning and no-code token creation, BlockDAG is building for the masses, not just the insiders. If widespread adoption is the goal, then the blockchain that wins won’t just be the fastest or the most advanced—it’ll be the one people can actually use with ease.
