The Layer 2 network Blast, built by Pacman, the founder of the NFT trading platform Blur, officially announced the launch of its mainnet on Friday (1st) on the X platform. Users can now bridge their assets to the network and use its native DApps (decentralized applications) to continue earning Blast points. Meanwhile, DApps can earn Blast Gold.
The airdrop rewards from Blast will be divided into two parts: 50% of the airdrop will be allocated based on users’ Blast points, and the other 50% will be distributed based on Blast Gold. Blast will distribute Gold to DApps every two weeks. According to official information, the points are expected to be redeemable in May.
Blast states that DApps can choose to keep the Gold for themselves or distribute it to users. Currently, some DApps have committed to giving all Gold to users. This means that while users earn points by using DApps on the network, they may also receive Gold rewards distributed by the DApps.
After the announcement of the mainnet launch by Blast, Blur also hinted at new actions in April, possibly related to Blast and its third-quarter airdrop.
Built on Optimistic Rollup, Blast is an L2 network that enables users to automatically earn income. In today’s announcement, Blast stated that during the early access phase of the network, over 180,000 users have bridged assets worth $2.3 billion to Blast, earning native yield and Blast points. Additionally, there are already over 3,000 teams building on Blast.
(Reminder: Currently, there are many fake Blast accounts on the X platform. Users should be cautious when accessing the website to avoid connecting to phishing sites.)
