 <p class="is-style-lead">Paradigm researcher Dan Robinson questioned Blast’s launch scheme, saying the VC firm doesn’t endorse ‘these kinds of tactics.’</p>
 <p>Blast, a layer-2 network announced by Blur founder Tieshun Roquerre, is now facing criticism from its own backers after security experts raised concerns surrounding the network model following a rise to over $300 million in total value locked (TVL) in the protocol.</p>

 <p>Dan Robinson, a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="researcher" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/researcher.html">researcher</a> at Paradigm, a crypto-focused venture firm, which backed Blast for $20 million, said in a recent X post the firm has been discussing its “concerns” with the Blast team, noting “there are still many points of disagreement.”</p>
 <p>While Robinson emphasized there are “a lot of components of Blast” that he’s “excited about,” he admitted that the way the project <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="launch" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/launch.html">launch</a>ed its products “sets a bad <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="precedent" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/precedent.html">precedent</a> for other projects.”</p>

 <p>Robinson’s statement comes nearly a week after Roquerre revealed that Paradigm alongside Standard Crypto and others backed his new venture, aimed at reducing transaction costs for digital collectibles.</p>
 <p>On Nov. 24 via an X&nbsp;thread, Blast warned no contract code security is completely airtight and that each smart contract design has its associated vulnerability.</p>

 <p>Yet, in a bid to raise funds from the crypto community, Blast <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="launch" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/launch.html">launch</a>ed a one-way bridge, which&nbsp;allocated&nbsp;over $300 million. Additionally, Blast’s asset portfolio provided by&nbsp;DeBank&nbsp;showed millions held in Lido’s staked Ether (stETH) and Maker’s DAI, a decentralized finance stablecoin.</p>
 <p>As Roquerre said in his announcement post, Blast will use customers’ funds for participating in Ethereum (ETH) staking, automatically returning the staking yield to the network’s users and decentralized applications.</p>
