"BLAST off!🚀 Ethereum's layer-2 network token, Blast (BLAST), is making a grand entrance with a 40% surge post-launch, outshining other recent airdrops. Starting at $0.02, it's now worth $0.0281. That's a $2 billion fully diluted value at launch, folks!💰

But not everyone's thrilled. Some critics felt the launch valuation was lower than expected. DeFiance Capital's co-founder even anticipated a $5 billion value. Well, you can't please everyone, right?😉

The airdrop released 17% of its total supply, with users who bridged Ether or USD on Blast (USDB) to the network getting a 7% slice. Another 7% went to those who contributed to the network's DApps, and the remaining 3% is for future community airdrops.

But beware of the dark side of airdrops! Scammers are lurking, with one user reportedly losing over $217,000 to a Blast airdrop scam. Stay safe, crypto enthusiasts!💔
