Blast_L2, a new EVM blockchain, has garnered significant attention with its total value locked (TVL) reaching $2.97 billion, making it the third largest Layer 2 (L2) by both bridged TVL and Dapp TVL. This milestone was achieved through over $1 billion deployed in decentralized applications (Dapps) on the platform. Additionally, community members are benefiting from $131 million in annual yield plus Blast Points. Various initiatives, including a competition with $50K in token rewards and the introduction of new features like Transaction Simulation, Policy Engine, Risk Alerts, and more by Fordefi, have contributed to this growth. Furthermore, the ecosystem is expanding with activities such as minting CUBEs on Blast and earning Blast Points through games like blackjack, roulette, and poker on DecentralGames. The platform is also set to announce its first round of featured Dapps, highlighting its ongoing development and community engagement efforts.
