Seattle Orcas, one of the rising teams in Major League Cricket (MLC), have picked BlockDAG (BDAG) Network as their Official Blockchain Partner for the 2025 season. This partnership brings together the excitement of cricket and the power of BlockDAG’s fast and secure Layer 1 network. The deal is among the most important connections between sports and blockchain technology seen so far.
Cricket has about 2.5 billion fans worldwide. India makes up almost 70% of this number. With this partnership, BlockDAG will be seen by fans across the world. This gives BlockDAG a chance to introduce Web3 technology to more people, using the passion and stories that make cricket special.
BlockDAG Brings Cricket Fans New Web3 Power
BlockDAG will play a key role in how fans connect with the Seattle Orcas. The plan is to change the old ways fans take part in the game. Fans will have new options like blockchain-backed collectibles, NFTs, fan coins, and special digital content. These features give fans ways to trade, own, and enjoy cricket like never before.
These are not simple extras. They are tools meant to bring fans closer to the team. Fan coin holders might get early access to team gear, vote on team digital projects, and see private videos of players and coaches. Since cricket is a sport full of stats and stories, digital content like this will add real value. This is true in countries like India, Australia, the UK, and the US, where fans are using digital tools more and more.
There will also be a joint content push across the Orcas’ social media. Fans can expect videos from players, fan features, and match previews that also explain how blockchain helps sports fans.
This is not just about a few posts. It is a full-season plan to show fans how blockchain can give real ownership, safety, and community value.
Hemant Dua, CEO of the Seattle Orcas, shared the vision:
“Our partnership with BlockDAG.Network represents a significant step towards enhancing how our fans connect with the game. By integrating blockchain technology, we're opening new avenues for fan participation and engagement.”
BlockDAG And Seattle Orcas Score Big Together
The Orcas’ strong play on the field is helping this partnership. On June 28, they set a record for the highest run chase in MLC history. They scored 238 runs and won with a six on the final ball from Shimron Hetmyer. The next day, they beat the Los Angeles Knight Riders. This helped their standing and drew attention from the media around the world.
This good timing on the field and online helps BlockDAG. BlockDAG’s GLOBAL LAUNCH release is set for August 11. The presale has already raised $335 million. BlockDAG wants to reach beyond the usual crypto space. By linking with cricket, which brings loyalty, excitement, and culture, BlockDAG is aiming for something bigger.
BlockDAG Smashes $335M Presale With 23.7B Coins Sold
BlockDAG’s work with both the Orcas and the Seattle Seawolves shows how it plans to reach different sports fans. It is more than putting a name on a shirt. BlockDAG is using real sports stories to make blockchain part of culture. This is ahead of its much-awaited launch.
Nicolaas van den Bergh, CMO of BlockDAG, said:
“Cricket’s unparalleled global appeal presents a unique opportunity to leverage blockchain technology for enhancing fan engagement. Our collaboration aims to harness this energy, bringing fans closer to the action through innovative digital experiences.”
BlockDAG’s plans include a live testnet, over 18,480 ASIC miners sold, and over 2 million mobile X1 Miner app users. So far, 23.7 billion coins have been sold. The Batch 29 price is $0.0276, but as part of the GLOBAL LAUNCH release, buyers can unlock a special price of $0.0016 for all purchases until August 11. This is one of the lowest prices since the early batches. Early batch buyers have already seen a 2,660% return as the Batch 29 price reached this point. The launch price is set at $0.05.
The partnership with the Orcas is not just about a name. It shows the future of how fans will connect. This is a future where fans will not just watch but also own and save moments using blockchain.
For BlockDAG, this is a key move as it looks to go from a popular presale to a leading Layer 1 network. As cricket grows around the world and digital tools change how fans enjoy sports, BlockDAG stands ready at the heart of this change. The Orcas’ fans are now part of the BlockDAG story, and the journey is only getting stronger.
