Written by: 1912212.eth, Foresight News

Blast was late to the party, originally scheduled to release an airdrop at the end of May, and only recently officially announced the governance token plan. The total supply is 100 billion, of which 50% will be airdropped to the community, and the initial airdrop amount is 17 billion. In addition, 25.5% is allocated to core contributors, 16.5% to investors, and 8% to the Blast Foundation. As part of the transition to a decentralized governance structure, officials said that the governance of the project Twitter, website, and Blast protocol is shifting to foundation control.

OP and Arbitrum have attracted attention due to their airdrops, while ZKsync has become a "negative example". Since Blast opened its airdrop application, its community reputation has also been unsatisfactory. According to Bitget market data, BLAST is currently priced at $0.0258.
