DOGEBALL, a new meme coin with gaming utility, is being positioned by analysts as the leading crypto presale for potentially explosive returns, overshadowing weekly gains from established altcoins like Polygon (MATIC) and Internet Computer (ICP). The project, backed by mobile gaming powerhouse Falcon Interactive, is conducting a limited-time initial coin offering (ICO) with a ground-floor price of $0.0003 per token.
The presale, which ends on May 2, 2026, offers a total supply of 80 billion tokens, with 20 billion available during the sale. A launch price of $0.015 is targeted, which would represent a 75x return for early presale investors. Some analyst projections suggest a post-launch price target of $1, which would translate to massive gains. The project is promoting a limited-time "DB50" bonus code that grants a 50% token bonus on purchases.
DOGEBALL's core proposition is a custom-built Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain designed for near-zero fees and fast transactions, which is already testable on its website. Its ecosystem centers on an online dodgeball game accessible on multiple platforms, where players can compete for a share of a $1 million prize pool, including a $500,000 top prize. The project also features an 80% APY staking mechanism for passive income and has ambitions for future gaming partnerships, potentially with giants like Activision.
Meanwhile, established altcoins Polygon and ICP have posted significant weekly gains. Polygon (MATIC) is up approximately 22.5% to around $0.157, driven by steady on-chain demand and token burns exceeding 12.5 million POL tokens since early January. Internet Computer (ICP) surged 26.6% to $4.12, attributed to growing decentralized cloud adoption and positive network metrics like rising unique addresses.
The news also mentions other presale projects like BlockDAG, which has raised over $442 million, and Bitcoin Hyper, a Bitcoin Layer-2 solution that has crossed $30 million in funds. However, DOGEBALL is highlighted as the most urgent and high-potential opportunity among them, combining meme coin virality with tangible gaming utility.
