Today, the entire SNPad V2 infrastructure officially went live. 🚀 For the first time, every component was connected end-to-end and tested together with our community in a real production environment. From app installation and setup, to the new architecture where advertising providers are separated from the SNPad application itself. For the first time, ads were officially delivered from the adserver through VAST, with OMID, industry-standard tracking and validation. Rewards worked exactly according to profile completion levels. Referrers received their 10% share from the ads watched by the users they invited. Reward transfers were batched into a single blockchain transaction. TV devices appeared online inside the mobile app. Support services were tested directly by the community and worked successfully. For the first time ever, an SNPad ad was delivered, watched, validated and rewarded completely end-to-end on the official V2 infrastructure. ⚡ Today’s community testing covered roughly 70% of our LG users. The remaining users will be activated after a short LG application update. Samsung and Android V2 app are already under review. Thank you to everyone who trusted us and stayed with us through this journey. We’re proud of what happened today, and we promise we’re not stopping here. There are still a few surprises coming before our community meet in just a few days. See you in Bucharest. ❤️ #snpad

Blast will be shutting down. We launched Blast with the goal of building a self-sustaining chain for users and developers. Unfortunately, the economics of operating the chain no longer make sense: the ongoing costs of maintaining Blast exceed the revenue generated by the L2, and we do not see a credible path to making the chain economically sustainable. As a result, we've made the difficult decision to wind Blast down. We're sorry to the users and developers who believed in Blast, built on it, and supported the ecosystem. Our priority now is making the shutdown as smooth and safe as possible. We're asking all users to withdraw their assets from Blast to Ethereum mainnet, including any balances held in the Blast PWA. To make this easier, we will be reducing the withdrawal delay to 24 hours. As part of the shutdown process, we'll first begin withdrawing Blast's Lido assets. This process is expected to take approximately one week. During this period, withdrawals will temporarily be unavailable, even after the withdrawal delay is reduced to 24 hours. Once that process is complete, withdrawals will resume with the new 24-hour delay. Users will have until October 26, 2026 to withdraw through the normal Blast interface. After October 26, assets will remain withdrawable, but users will need to interact directly with the Blast bridge contracts on Ethereum L1. We'll publish detailed instructions before then. We strongly encourage everyone to withdraw their assets to Ethereum mainnet before October 26.

"non-custodial staking" is the funniest lie in crypto. you hold the withdrawal key, but some devop intern on AWS holds the signing key. their cloud gets breached, and suddenly the "decentralized proof of stake network" requires consensys to coordinate an emergency server reboot. ethereum moved to PoS so everyone could secure the network from home. and it just turned blockchain security into outsourced IT maintenance. fast forward to today: 90% of nodes sit on the same three cloud providers, managed by two wallet companies, wrapped in five layers of liquid staking tokens. metamask sneezes and half the validators need to be proactively unplugged. pure clown engineering. paying 10% fee to a wallet company so they can run an unvetted script on a centralized server and get hacked. not your server, not your validator.
