The Ethereum layer 2 network Blast, created by Pacman, the founder of the NFT trading platform Blur, will officially launch its token airdrop within the next week, the project announced. Users must complete specific tasks to qualify for the airdrop.
Blast stated on Thursday (the 20th) on the X platform that if a user’s EOA (External Owned Account) holds Blast Gold or Points, they must log into the Blast dashboard with that EOA at least once (via receiving an invitation or linking it to an existing account) to be included in the airdrop calculation. DApps must distribute rewards such as Gold and Points to users by 8 am Eastern Time on June 25th.
Blast plans to allocate half of the airdropped tokens to developers through Blast Gold, while the other half will be distributed to early users based on wallet and DApp balances through Blast Points.
The project stated, “50% of the Blast airdrop will be allocated to Blast Points,” and users’ wallets will automatically earn points in each block based on their balances. Meanwhile, for DApps, Blast Gold will be used as an incentive for application growth, meaning that DApps should distribute all the Gold they earn to users.
