Blast's dual system (Points for on-chain balances/TVL; Gold for dApp interactions) ended in early 2025, with Phase 2 airdrop claimed and transitioned to liquid $BLAST incentives.
Optimization path (historical): Bridge ETH/USDB early, claim all multipliers via featured dApps, provide liquidity/stake in high-Gold protocols (e.g., Thruster LP + Hyperlock staking, lending loops like ZeroLend for 5x Points).
Liquidity providers' returns potential: Native yield (~4% ETH, higher on stables via USDB derivatives up to 50% APY historically) + amplified Points/Gold from dApp distributions + protocol fees. Post-transition, LPs earn $BLAST rewards, but yields now tie to token volatility; strong potential if ecosystem grows, though riskier.
