Early-stage token fundraising in crypto has been active again, with market participants looking for clear documentation, visible development progress, and transparent disclosures. Among the many entries, four projects—BlockDAG, IPO Genie, BullZilla, and La Culex—have attracted attention for their stated plans and community activity. Each targets a different segment of the market, from infrastructure-focused networks to meme-oriented communities.
While their goals differ, all four emphasize community participation and public communications about milestones. The sections below summarize project-reported details and publicly described features. References to fundraising stages and pricing are subject to change and are not a guarantee of future performance.
1. BlockDAG: Project-reported fundraising and network claims
According to the project, BlockDAG has raised more than $430 million and sold 27 billion coins. The project also states it is in “Batch 31,” and that BDAG coins are priced at $0.0015 using a “TGE” code. The project has also mentioned a $0.05 mainnet launch price; readers should note that any launch or listing price is uncertain and not guaranteed. The project further reports more than 315,000 holders.
BlockDAG describes its design as combining Proof-of-Work security with a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure and claims throughput of up to 15,000 transactions per second on its “Awakening Testnet.” It also states the network is EVM-compatible. The project cites security audits by CertiK and Halborn and names Antony Turner as CEO; it also references academic guidance from Dr. Maurice Herlihy.
BlockDAG says it will host an AMA on Binance on Friday, October 24, at 3 PM UTC, where it plans to discuss roadmap items and related announcements. The project also references a “Keynote 4: The Launch Note” and “GENESIS DAY” in its communications. Any marketing codes or time-based messaging referenced by the project should not be interpreted as investment guidance.
The project also states it has a partnership with the BWT Alpine Formula 1® Team. Separately, it points to audits and a functioning testnet as indicators of progress. For reference, the project website is linked here: BlockDAG.
2. BullZilla: Token supply mechanics and incentives (project-described)
BullZilla describes itself as an Ethereum-based token with a deflationary model. Project materials describe a pricing mechanism that changes every 48 hours or after $100,000 is raised, whichever occurs first, along with a staged burn feature it calls a “Roar Burn.” As with other early-stage token sales, such mechanics do not ensure demand or price outcomes.
The project states it is in “Stage 6” at around $0.00015907 and has raised more than $900,000 from 3,000 holders. It also describes a “HODL Furnace” staking model that advertises up to 70% APY and a referral program that allocates 10% to both parties. Any yields, rewards, and referral incentives are project-reported, may change, and can involve substantial risk.
3. IPO Genie: Tokenization concept for private-market access (project-described)
IPO Genie says it aims to let crypto users access tokenized private-market opportunities. The project states that the $IPO token is intended to be used for participation in curated deals, staking-based access tiers, and governance voting. It also describes an AI-driven “deal discovery” tool designed to screen projects for tokenization.
Project materials describe an early public phase at roughly $0.001 and position the concept as a way to engage with private-market activity via blockchain tools. The project also references liquidity locks and audit partnerships as part of its transparency approach. Readers should treat forward-looking statements about deal access, audits, or liquidity mechanisms as project intentions unless independently verified.
4. La Culex: Meme branding with a staged token sale model (project-described)
La Culex uses hive-themed branding and describes a token economy focused on community engagement. Project materials reference a total supply of 200 billion tokens and a 32-stage token sale model starting at $0.0002. The project also mentions a target listing price of $0.007; targets are not guarantees and may not occur.
The project states that about 45% of supply is allocated to the token sale, 15% for staking, and 20% to locked liquidity. It also describes automatic burns and transaction “reflections,” and says holders can stake in a “Hive Vault” with advertised APYs of up to 80%. As presented, these are project-reported mechanics and advertised rates, and they may change or not function as described; availability of independent audits may also vary over time.
Key points to compare
Taken together, the four projects illustrate different approaches to early-stage token fundraising: BlockDAG emphasizes infrastructure claims and audits; IPO Genie focuses on tokenized private-market concepts; BullZilla highlights token supply mechanics and community incentives; and La Culex combines meme branding with staged token sale and reward features. Readers should separately evaluate documentation, token distribution, audit status, and legal/regulatory considerations.
Some promotional materials may describe a project as a top crypto ICO; this article uses neutral descriptions and does not endorse any offering. Early-stage token sales and related staking programs can involve high risk, limited liquidity, smart-contract risk, and rapid price volatility.
