Good morning, everyone! I woke up and immediately dove into the latest on Blast. As usual, I’m here to break down everything in detail for you.
Getting Started with Blast L2: To kick things off, you’ll need to sign a transaction on Ethereum, likely to transfer funds directly to Blast L2 or for other purposes. While the specifics might not be crucial, be prepared to spend a bit on transaction fees. With a gas price of 40, I ended up paying $100, though only $66 was actually deducted. Keep an eye out for lower gas prices for a better deal.
Boost Your Points: Early Access users will receive a 10x boost to their points, a guarantee despite any differing information you might have encountered due to technical glitches (confirmed via their official Twitter).
Changes in Point Farming on Mainnet: Yes, there have been some adjustments. Here’s what you need to know:
- Multipliers Introduced: These will amplify your current and future points earned. A total of 12 multipliers are set to be released (4 on March 13th, another 4 on April 1st, and the final 4 on May 1st). The developers emphasize that you don’t need to spend a lot to earn these multipliers.
- Points System Update: Old faithful points now constitute 50% of the Airdrop total, eliminating the need for roulette spins. Points are earned automatically with each block based on your balance, including points from referrals and those earned by interacting with Dapps (like providing liquidity). A key note from the developers: Dapps must distribute earned points back to you, requiring integration with the Blast API.
- Introducing Blast Gold: Allocated the other half of the Blast Airdrop, this new currency can be earned through Dapp interactions. Designed as an incentive to boost Dapp growth, Blast transfers it to Dapps, which in turn must pass 100% of this gold to their users. The referral system applies here too, rewarding you with a share of the gold earned by your referrals.
Conclusions: This system presents an intriguing opportunity, especially the smart strategy to farm gold, given its equal airdrop allocation with points. Stay tuned for announcements and engage with projects awarded Blast Gold for the most benefits.
This insightful overview not only informs but also guides users through the new and rewarding journey on Blast Mainnet, demonstrating the platform’s innovative approach to user engagement and rewards.
