Blast Finally Releases Airdrop
The renowned Layer2 blockchain network, Blast, announced the highly anticipated airdrop yesterday (6/26), distributing 17% of the total token supply to early participants in its staking program. This airdrop caused the price of $BLAST tokens to reach approximately $0.03 in its initial trading, resulting in a comprehensive diluted market value of $3 billion.
To confirm if you have received the airdrop, simply visit the official airdrop website, connect your wallet, click on “Claim Airdrop,” and watch the video provided by the project to find out how much $BLAST airdrop you have received.
The airdrop has received mixed reactions, with some users expressing frustration and calling for the founder to be blocked. According to Blast’s rules, users must watch a 20-minute video before being eligible to claim the tokens. Many users found the video to be lengthy and boring, considering this approach highly unreasonable. This experience has been described by many as “extremely disappointing.”
One user wrote on social media, “I spent 20 minutes watching a boring video just to receive a small amount of tokens. It’s a complete waste of time.” Another user stated, “This is a form of forced advertisement that doesn’t respect the users’ time.”
Christian2022.eth, a partner at NextGen Digital Venture, even called for the community to block Pacman, the founder of Blur and Blast, referring to him as a “serial RUG entrepreneur.” He strongly criticized Pacman, saying, “Never trust someone without credibility, as they will continue to harm the community and treat every holder like garbage.”
Although the airdrop left some users disappointed, there are still supporters who understand and stand by Blast. They believe that the company’s efforts are aimed at ensuring users understand the value and utility of the tokens. They argue that only those who truly put in the effort deserve to receive airdrop rewards, rather than those who criticize without contributing.
Blast’s airdrop not only increased its market visibility but also strengthened its community’s cohesion. According to the latest data from DefiLlama, Blast ranks seventh in terms of Total Value Locked (TVL) among all blockchains, with a TVL of $1.54 billion.
However, after the airdrop was released, many users immediately sold their tokens, causing the price to drop rapidly from $0.03 to $0.02. This price decline raised concerns in the market, and many investors expressed disappointment, believing that the airdrop did not achieve the expected effect.
Nevertheless, Blast continues to strive for the advancement of its technology and market development. The company stated that it will focus on improving the scalability and efficiency of its blockchain solutions and plans to introduce more innovative products in the future.
Some market analysts hold an optimistic view of Blast’s future development. They believe that despite the issues during this airdrop process, Blast’s potential in technology and the market cannot be ignored. With more users and developers joining, Blast is expected to occupy a more significant position in the Layer2 blockchain industry.
However, some analysts question Blast’s market strategy. They believe that the practice of forcing users to watch videos may affect its reputation within the community, and in the future, a better balance needs to be found between user experience and market promotion.
Overall, Blast’s airdrop event has brought different voices from the market and users. As blockchain technology continues to evolve, we look forward to seeing how more companies strike a balance between innovation and user experience to stand out in the competitive market.
