$20M Layer-2 Network SHUT DOWN: Blast’s Surprising Demise Exposed
Can you believe it? A $20M layer-2 network is shutting down due to unsustainable costs! Blast, the Ethereum-compatible optimistic rollup, has announced its demise, citing maintenance costs exceeding revenue. The project, which aimed to pass yield from ETH staking and real-world-asset protocols to users, will wind down through an asset withdrawal process. Users are being asked to move their assets to Ethereum mainnet by October 26 to withdraw through the normal interface. After that, withdrawals will be temporarily unavailable, but users can still access their funds through bridge contracts. This development comes nearly three years after Blast disclosed $20 million in funding from Paradigm and Standard Crypto. As the project unwinds, users will experience a week-long withdrawal pause, followed by a 24-hour delay. Will you be affected by this shutdown?
