What is Blast?

‍Blast is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 optimistic rollup designed for native yield on ETH and stablecoins. It auto-rebases ETH balances via Ethereum staking rewards and generates stablecoin yield through on-chain T-Bill protocols like MakerDAO. Gas revenue is redistributed to dApps, enabling new economic models while maintaining full Ethereum compatibility.

Built by @pacmanblur, founder of Blur, Blast has transitioned to community governance, though early investors like Paradigm, Standard Crypto, and Andrew Kang hold significant ownership.
