Highlights
- Blast L2 blockchain has recently secure the sixth spot in TVL within DeFi network rankings, per data by DeFiLlama.
- The L2 recently ruled out an upgrade to support blobs.
- A look into Blast's Web3 venture.
In an unprecedented development witnessed within the Web3 landscape, Blast, an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) blockchain, has recently taken the market by storm, securing the sixth spot in TVL (Total value locked) among all blockchains. Overtaking Base, a layer-2 (L2) blockchain network developed by Coinbase, Blast runs just behind Arbitrum, boasting a TVL of $1.87 billion, per data by DeFiLlama.
The buzz around the recently launched blockchain, Blast, is growing louder in the DeFi community. It’s now positioned just below the big players like Ethereum, Tron, BSC, Solana, and Arbitrum, making a landmark across the industry.
Blast L2 Advances With Web3 Journey
Blast’s monumental growth promptly after its inception into the Web3 realm has garnered noteworthy interest in the layer 2 blockchain. Notably, with its TVL increasing at a phenomenal rate, the blockchain has offered great user appeal.
The increased TVL primarily indicates that it offers a stockpile of enhancements, such as improved security and liquidity, which in turn generates more user participation for the blockchain within the DeFi industry. Further, per a post shared by the platform on X recently, an upgrade for the blockchain is also in the pipeline.
According to the post, Blast will undergo an upgrade to support blobs (Binary Large Objects) on Monday, May 27, at 2 PM PT (Pacific Time). Blobs are basically a type of data storage space on blockchains. This upgrade will enable the blockchain to store additional binary data apart from transactional data.
Coupled with the blockchain’s recent securing the sixth spot by TVL, per DeFiLlama data, this development further pushes the L2 to scale greater heights moving ahead.
