Victoria, Seychelles, June 26, 2024 - Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, announced the listing of one of the most awaited Layer 2 ecosystems Blast.io for initial listings of BLAST tokens on Spot corridor.

The deposits for BLAST tokens have been opened, trading will be live at 15:00 UTC, 26th June, 2024.

Blast is one of the first Ethereum L2 with native yield for ETH and stablecoins. Blast yield comes from ETH staking and RWA protocols. The yield from these decentralized protocols is passed back to Blast users automatically. The default interest rate on other L2s is usually 0% while on Blast, it’s 4% for ETH and 5% for stablecoins.

Blast is an EVM-compatible, optimistic rollup that raises the baseline yield for users and developers without changing the experience cryptonatives expect. This yield makes it possible to create new business models for Dapps that may not have been possible otherwise. The Blast project was created by the founder of the Blur NFT marketplace under the pseudonym Pacman.

Bitget lists high potential tokens in its innovation zone to provide improved accessibility to emerging DeFi ecosystems. The inclusion of BLAST in Bitget's spot helps users engage in the initial launch phases of the trending low-cap tokens.
