The Blast Layer 2 (L2) ecosystem has experienced significant growth and activity since its launch, drawing attention across the decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible token (NFT) sectors. With over $2 billion in total value bridged to the platform, Blast has emerged as a notable player in the rollup ecosystem. The lending protocols within Blast have become leaders in total value locked (TVL), indicating a strong influx of cash flows. Additionally, the platform has seen the minting of Blast Keys, which allow holders to earn experience points (XP) by trading on the platform, with specific phases for acquisition at set ETH prices of 0.0269 ETH in the AL Phase and 0.03 ETH in the Public Phase. In its first week, Blast reported 3,954 users, $15.5 million in TVL, and the distribution of 60 million Blast Points. The ecosystem also highlighted the launch of new applications, including a perpetual futures platform and the integration of existing protocols distributing Blast Points to users, with the Blast Key Mint attracting 850 new holders, 2,200 new users, and generating over $250,000 in volume. The rapid growth is further underscored by the platform's performance metrics, including 4.4 million transactions, the creation of 245,000 blocks, 245,000 active users, $7.5 billion in Ethereum volume, and $733 million in DeFi TVL.
