Blast has done a pretty remarkable job of attracting attention as a place for degens to win big.
The main way the network has achieved this is through its native yield, as ETH and stablecoin holders can earn 4% and 5% per year respectively on Blast. L2 Also aims to consolidate its reputation through its continued commitment Blast Points and Blast Gold Program. Half of the next Blast airdrop will be for points holders and the other half for gold holders.
Note that initially only ETH and USDB holders earned points, and only Blast app users earned gold. Yet as the early memecoin and NFT scenes begin to grow on Blast, the L2 team decided to offer passive token and NFT holders a way to accumulate gold rewards as well.
Here, report yourself Explosive jackpot.
Blast Jackpot is a recently launched game that periodically rewards token and NFT holders on Blast.
Every block mined on the network has a base chance of triggering a jackpot, and when that happens, a random token or NFT is selected as the winner. Everyone who entered the winning asset will receive a share of the latest Gold prize pool. The odds of selection favor tokens over NFTs, but all assets on the platform except WETH and USDB are eligible.
The initiative encourages Blast users to diversify their holdings on the network for a chance to win the jackpot.
If you'd like to try it out, getting involved is simple, but you'll need to log in to Blast Airdrop Dashboard first if you haven't already. If you need an invite code, dozens of users have left theirs as comments in the Blast quest “Referral link” in our Airdrop Hunter hub!
Once you are set up on Blast, transfer ETH via the native bridge or a quick third party bridge like Relayand you will then be ready to start acquiring assets so that you can participate in the Blast Jackpot.
For example, I recently joined the group by acquiring a portion of the $PAC memecoin on Thrustera decentralized exchange and some NFT Skellies on the NFT orderbook platform Mintify.
Once you have the assets you want in your wallet, simply go to Explosive Jackpot Page, scroll down and select the “Add a token or NFT to your deck” option, then select the desired asset. You can grab up to eight different resources from available deck slots like this!
At this point, it's just a waiting game: you can check this Jackpot page to manage your stakes over time and see if any of your assets win in the future.
If you're lucky, you'll win at least one nice piece of Blast Gold before the official Blast drops, and if you're Really Good thing you can win more than one – they're just a few assets for the young L2 right now, after all.
