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.

I want to be clear and I won't mince words.
This pisses me off, a lot.
I don't care in any way shape or form if you think I'm being overly dramatic, I truly don't. If anything - you aren't mad enough.
POAP is hands down a top 3 dapp/protocol and has been for years. We are losing an absolutely incredible thing here - and it's our fault.
Rise Up has been using POAPs since 2021 for all sorts of things - community events, episode milestones, games, treasure hunts, and more.
Knowing I won't be able to use it for our 600th episode, or 1000th, or anything else is absolutely maddening.
Can you imagine for a second, if we elevated and paid attention to something like @poapxyz the same way this space has the Ansem meme? Even 10% of the attention?
Every time something like this - a free to use, simple, and accessible tool for new user onboarding - goes away, it feels like we lose another piece of what brought many of us here in the first place.
I personally used POAP to onboard dozens and dozens of people who had never made a wallet, minted an NFT, sent a transaction, or looked at onchain data.
The process was SO easy, and just like that a brand new user got to enter this space with a great experience and immediate induction into a phenomenal community.
My conviction to fight the erosion of our core ethos is stronger for staring down the barrel of losing a platform like this - and I hope everyone takes this as the warning sign that it is.
I have seen this industry rally together when terrible things happen. The unity I saw in the wake of the Kelp DAO bridge exploit was so inspiring - I hoped it would catalyse a broader push to take our industry back.
Yet here we are - letting another amazing piece of the space fade, all while pretending that Congress and Blackrock have our best interests at heart.
Maybe it was just about greed the entire time.
The fight goes on, there is so much work to be done. Don't let this canary go unnoticed. – at Port Wentworth, GA
After 5+ years, we're winding down POAP.
Over the years, we:
* minted millions of collectibles across hundreds of communities.
* did incredible collaborations with world-class organizations - Coinbase, Amex, WMG, Bayer, and a long tail of others, including countless in crypto.
* ran one of the biggest activations at Devcon, minting 8000+ collectibles over the course of a week.
* built an Airport Rally to let collectors get POAPs at airports around the world.
POAP meant something to a lot of people.
Unfortunately, crypto's funding cycles and distribution dynamics made it hard to build a sustainable company without cannibalizing the ethos that made POAP mean something. Building on a fragile and quickly evolving stack, in the middle of an incredible hype cycle, only added to the challenges.
Still, there are some big lessons I am carrying from the POAP story.
First: Customer communities are the most undervalued asset a company can have. If you build something with soul, people who use it and love it will take your brand everywhere. Do not underestimate the power of customer communities.
Second: Connection is still the point. It's easy to lose that thread when the conversation is about the latest bubbly tech or price speculation, but the people using POAPs at events, in classrooms, at hackathons were getting something real out of it.
Third: Longevity and brand equity are the only moats left. With the time to building and shipping something new collapsing quickly, and distribution becoming increasingly an engineering problem, customers increasingly want to make sure they can trust that the things they are buying will grow and evolve with the market, without changing radically.
Grateful for everyone who believed in what we were building. It's too soon for me to say what's next, but for now, I'm thinking a lot about what GTM looks like in the age of AI.

حديثك ذكرني بالصديق دكتور زياد اليوسف وهو جراح أورام، سألته يومًا: ما الذي يفعله الإنسان ليتجنب السرطان؟
قال: عش حياتك بسعادة.
فبعض الأمراض، مهما بالغنا في الحذر، فيها قدر من خبط العشواء؛ تصيب من يبالغ في الاحتياط كما تصيب من لم يتوقعها. لذلك لا تجعل الخوف يأكل عمرك قبل أن يأتي المرض، عش بوعي، واهتم بصحتك، لكن لا تنسَ أن تعيش.

I worked at Epic Games for two years. This is real, and the strategy behind it is smarter than most people realize.
Tim Sweeney has spent nearly two decades buying North Carolina forest land. 50,000+ acres across 15 counties. He’s now one of the largest private landowners in the state. The purchases started in 2008, right after the real estate collapse wiped out developers who had been planning golf resorts and luxury communities on biodiverse wilderness.
Sweeney paid $15 million for Box Creek Wilderness, a 7,000-acre stretch in the Blue Ridge foothills containing 130+ rare and threatened species. Developers had owned 5,000 of those acres before the crash. He bought them for conservation prices when nobody else was bidding.
He runs the acquisitions through an LLC called “130 of Chatham.” He buys the land, holds it for years, then either donates it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sells it at a discount to state parks, or hands it to land trusts. In 2021, he donated 7,500 acres in the Roan Highlands to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. Largest private land donation in North Carolina history.
The part people miss: he told the News & Observer that since 2021, land got too expensive to keep buying. So he shifted focus to converting his existing 50,000 acres into permanent conservation status. He’s locking the land into legal structures that make development impossible regardless of who owns it in the future.
A billionaire worth roughly $6 billion is spending tens of millions acquiring wilderness specifically during economic downturns, then giving it away or placing it under permanent legal protection. The land will outlast him, Epic Games, and Fortnite.
That’s the part that separates Sweeney from billionaires who write checks to get their name on a building. The building depreciates. The forest compounds.

No one knows you. No one has a story about who you are. No one is waiting for you to be the person you were yesterday. You're just a stranger in a chair by the window, watching a city that doesn't need anything from you.
It's the feeling that anything could happen. That the world is bigger than the walls you built around yourself back home. That the life you've been living is just one version of a life, and there are others, and they're not as far away as you thought.
At home, you're fixed. Known. You fit into a shape that other people recognize, and after a while, you forget you're even in a shape at all. But here, alone, somewhere new, the shape dissolves. You could be anyone. You could be more of yourself than you've ever been. No one is watching to see if you stay consistent.

this whole narrative of shaming people for using AI to help write things is stupid.
everyone should be using AI as a creative partner for copy & content.
you shouldn't be proud of spending 3X longer to write something inferior, just because you did it "all by yourself."

NFT Paris & RWA Paris 2026 are cancelled.
After four editions bringing together the global Web3 community in Paris, we have to face reality: NFT Paris 2026 will not happen.
The market collapse hit us hard. Despite drastic cost cuts and months of trying to make it work, we couldn't pull it off this year.
All tickets will be refunded within 15 days.
To those of you who had already booked flights and hotels — we're truly sorry. We know how frustrating this is.
To our team — thank you for everything. You're talented people who deserved a better outcome. If you're hiring in Web3 or events, reach out to us with your needs and we’ll connect you.
Looking back at four years, we're proud of what we built together: tens of thousands of attendees, hundreds of speakers, and countless connections made. But endings are tough.
We will be doing all we can to close this chapter properly.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
