<p><em><strong>Blast, one of the most prominent EVM-compatible protocols that use Optimistic Rollups, has launched its mainnet, which will unstake significant cryptos.&nbsp;</strong></em></p>
<p>The continuous evolution of the blockchain has created several opportunities for the traditional and other finance categories. Several blockchain-based crypto products have launched their mainnet in the last few quarters.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Blast is one of the most prominent EVM-compatible protocols that use Optimistic Rollups; it was launched in 2023. The Ethereum Layer-2 Network launched its mainnet, which will unlock $2.3 Billion crypto locked on the network. The L2 was launched on February 29 at 9:00 pm UTC.</p>
<p>Blast noted on its X account, “To recap, Blast is the L2 with native yield. ETH and stablecoin balances on Blast are automatically yield-bearing. This increases capital efficiency for users and unlocks new possibilities for Dapps.”&nbsp;</p>
