An Ethereum Layer 2 optimistic rollup that offers native yield on ETH and stablecoins, plus EVM compatibility, low fees, and fast, scalable DeFi execution.
Blast is an Ethereum Layer 2 (mainnet) that uses an optimistic rollup and makes native ETH and stablecoin balances auto‑yielding at the protocol level, so funds earn while idle. It powers low‑fee DeFi (DEXs, perps, lending), on‑chain games, and NFT apps that need fast settlement with ETH as the native gas token. In practice, transactions typically cost a few cents, blocks finalize in a few seconds, and the network can sustain hundreds of TPS—dramatically cheaper and faster than Ethereum L1.
Blast’s key differentiator is built‑in, composable yield: account balances rebase automatically (ETH from staking yield and stablecoins from on‑chain treasury sources), letting dapps treat yield as a first‑class primitive without wrappers. Unlike most EVM L2s, it pairs native yield with Ethereum security (7‑day optimistic withdrawal) and full EVM compatibility plus ecosystem incentives for users and builders. The result is low‑cents average fees, multi‑second block times, and high throughput while preserving seamless interoperability with Ethereum.
Blast uses ETH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ETH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge ETH to Blast, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Blast as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Blast you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Blast to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send ETH on Blast, ensure your wallet is connected to the Blast network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of ETH to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
