Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsBy: TechFlow
Blast is set to become the top crypto spotlight in the final week of February.
According to previously released information, Blast's mainnet is scheduled to launch at the end of February. A month ago, we mentioned in "Blast L2 Operation Guide: Airdrop Split 50/50, TVL and Developers All In":
On January 17, the Blast team officially launched its testnet and a one-month "Big Bang" incentive program, encouraging developers to actively build applications within its ecosystem and compete under specific rules for token airdrops from Blast.
Now, with the Big Bang event ending and the mainnet launching simultaneously, what does this mean for users?
Winning projects from the Big Bang event will receive token airdrops, and these projects are likely to redistribute rewards back to users in various ways; the mainnet launch is self-evidently significant—providing justification for all prior interactions to now be realized.
On February 24, the official Blast team announced the list of projects selected through the Big Bang event. According to TechFlow statistics, this list includes over 120+ projects.
For those focusing their bets on Blast and its ecosystem, understanding these winning projects increases efficiency in both yield farming and research; after all, this is an officially endorsed project list by Blast itself.
Therefore, having a comprehensive overview of these projects is more valuable than searching for them individually based on fragmented information.
Due to the large number of listed projects, TechFlow has recompiled and analyzed the reward rules, project types, and expected airdrop timing to present all information more intuitively and provide convenience for readers.
Overview of Big Bang Event Reward Rules
Besides dApps already live on mainnet, the winning projects in this event are actually divided into four tiers: Winner (top tier), Runner-ups (second tier), Honorables (honorable mentions), and other participants.
Different tiers receive different airdrop sizes and at different times. This provides key timing guidance for players looking to bet on the Blast ecosystem:
Additionally, for projects that didn't win, Blast has reserved another portion of airdrop allocations, which will be distributed in May to encourage ongoing development efforts.
In this article, we mainly summarize the winning projects across different tiers and conduct statistical analysis on their categories.
Winner Group
There are 46 projects in the Winner group.
Among them, lending, gaming, and infrastructure projects received the most recognition—these are also key areas users should focus on when interacting.
