About Blast

Blast is an Ethereum Layer 2 optimistic rollup that natively yields interest on ETH and stablecoin deposits. Unlike other L2s where idle assets earn nothing, Blast automatically stakes bridged ETH with Lido and deploys stablecoins to MakerDAO — passing yields back to users. Blast launched with a controversial pre-launch phase where $1B+ was deposited with no ability to withdraw, creating significant community discussion. The network launched publicly in February 2024 with BLAST token airdrop, quickly accumulating among the highest TVL of any new L2.
