BlockDAG’s Keynote 3 Focuses on Governance as VeChain Drops 43% & ICP Seeks Recovery

But one project is taking a different route. BlockDAG is introducing another blockchain and championing user-led governance from the beginning. Instead of making decisions behind closed doors, BlockDAG gives its users real influence. With clear tools for community participation, it may be laying the groundwork for a new approach to Web3 development.

VeChain: Bringing Trust & Traceability to the Supply Chain

VeChain aims to improve how we track goods across supply chains. Its blockchain gives businesses a way to trace product quality, movement, and authenticity. This is powered by a dual-token system: VET is used for transferring value, and VTHO fuels the network's operations.

Since its launch in 2015, VeChain has worked with companies in industries ranging from luxury goods to agriculture and healthcare, helping them monitor products through every stage.

Currently, VET is trading around $0.031—down from $0.172 a year ago. That’s a 43.6% drop, but some analysts believe the price could recover, with forecasts pointing toward $0.15 by the end of the year.

Internet Computer: Rethinking the Infrastructure of the Web

The Internet Computer, developed by the DFINITY Foundation, has a bold mission—to move applications and online services from centralized servers to the blockchain. With ICP tokens powering transactions and governance, it offers a decentralized way to build and scale internet services.

Launched in May 2021, it introduced a unique consensus model designed for both performance and decentralization. Today, on March 29, 2025, ICP trades at about $5.31, far from its all-time high of $700.65. In just the past year, its value has dropped by 70.3%. Even so, projections vary: some analysts expect ICP to reach between $6.66 and $32.40 by year’s end, depending on adoption and broader market trends.

BlockDAG’s Governance Model Sets a New Standard for Community Control

In blockchain, governance is often left until later—sometimes too late. But BlockDAG is turning that idea upside down by making governance a core feature from day one. Rather than controlling updates from the top down, the project gives real voting power to its community.

From the moment mainnet launches, token holders will be able to vote on key proposals, updates, and how the ecosystem evolves. These aren’t symbolic gestures—this is governance with real impact. Whether it’s funding future development or shaping protocol changes, decisions will reflect collective input.

What’s more, the community is already buying in. BlockDAG’s presale has brought in $210.5 million so far. The current sale—Batch 27—is priced at $0.0248, and those who joined in Batch 1 have seen a return of 2,380%. With over 19 billion coins sold, it’s clear this isn’t just another crypto project—it’s a movement backed by people ready to participate and lead.

BlockDAG’s approach isn’t just about giving users a voice—it’s about giving them control. If decentralization is the goal, this is a blueprint others may soon follow.

Final Thoughts

VeChain and Internet Computer both tackle real-world problems—whether that’s verifying supply chains or building a decentralized internet. Their progress shows just how far blockchain has come. But BlockDAG is asking a deeper question: how do we make this sustainable?

By placing governance in users’ hands from the start, BlockDAG isn’t just building a blockchain—it’s building a community-led ecosystem. Instead of waiting for trust to be earned, it’s building it into the system itself.

This isn’t just a strategy—it could be a shift in how we think about Web3. As more users demand transparency, and as developers look for ways to stay aligned with community values, BlockDAG’s model might not just stand out—it might lead the way.
