Blast, the Ethereum layer-2 scaling network founded by Blur NFT marketplace’s creator, has officially rolled out its testnet, accompanied by the launch of the ‘Blast BIG BANG’ airdrop competition. This strategic move aims to draw developers’ attention to the burgeoning platform.
The team aims to integrate developers into the Blast ecosystem by dedicating 50% of the airdrop to them. The remaining 50% will be allocated to Blast staking users. Participating developers in the “Blast BIG BANG” competition are in the running to receive tokens through the airdrop.
Furthermore, the Blast team emphasized that they will publicly announce successful developers in the airdrop competition. We will also introduce the Blast user community during the scheduled main net launch at the end of February.
