Blast Layer2 Introduction
Blast is an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution developed by the team behind the NFT marketplace Blur. It focuses on providing high yields for users while offering fast and cheap transactions.
Key features:
- Native yield: Users can earn yields simply by holding supported crypto (ETH, USDC, USDT, and DAI) in their wallets, without the need to participate in staking or other DeFi activities.
- Fast transactions: Blast Layer2 uses Optimistic Rollup technology to scale transaction speed to thousands per second.
- Low transaction fees: Blast Layer2’s transaction fees are significantly lower than those on the Ethereum mainnet.
- EVM compatibility: Developers can easily deploy existing Ethereum dApps on Blast Layer2.
In the fiercely competitive L2 market, Blast distinguishes itself with Native yield as its main feature, achieving an astonishing Total Value Locked (TVL) of $2.82B in just one week since its launch, making it the third largest L2 currently.
However, beyond accumulating passive income through the Native yield mechanism, what other benefits can participants in the Blast ecosystem get?
Why should you interact with Dapps on Blast?
As an emerging L2, Blast has promised to distribute airdrop rewards to its users, with the amount of airdrops increasing in proportion to the accumulated Blast Points. The primary methods to earn Points include:
- Bridge assets to Blast (ETH, stablecoins)
- Invite friends to Bridge assets to Blast
In addition to the airdrop distributed to users, Blast will also allocate 50% of the airdrop to Dapp teams, referred to as “Blast Gold. Gold is intended to serve as an incentive for Dapp growth. This means Dapps are expected to pass on 100% of any Gold they receive to their users.
This means that utilizing Dapps on Blast could potentially yield more Blast airdrops for you!
