Event Timeline
About Blast
Blast launched with an unusual sequence: deposits opened months before the chain did. Users bridged ETH into a contract that earned yield, accruing points toward a future distribution, and several billion dollars arrived before there was anything to actually use.
The June 2024 distribution paid out on those points, and on Blast Gold, a separate allocation routed through applications building on the chain so that developers could direct rewards to their own users.
The approach was widely criticised as a deposit race with lock up risk, and equally widely copied. It marks the point where points programmes became the default pre launch mechanic rather than a novelty.
