The Ethereum Layer 2 network, Blast, created by Pacman, the founder of NFT trading platform Blur, will officially launch its token airdrop within the next week. The project states that users must complete specific tasks to qualify for the airdrop.
Blast announced on Thursday (20th) on the X platform that if users’ EOA (External Owned Accounts) own Blast Gold or Points, they must log into the Blast dashboard at least once using that EOA (either by receiving an invitation or linking it to an existing account) in order to be included in the airdrop calculation. DApps must also distribute rewards such as Gold and Points to users before 8 am Eastern Time on June 25th.
Blast plans to distribute half of the airdropped tokens to developers through Blast Gold, while the other half will be distributed to early users based on wallet and DApp balances through Blast Points. The project states that “50% of the Blast airdrop will be allocated to Blast Points,” and users’ wallets will automatically earn Points based on their balances in each block. At the same time, Blast Gold will be used as an incentive for DApp growth, and “this means that DApps should distribute 100% of the Gold they earn to users.”
