🔥 Economic scandal in the crypto world: a network that gathered billions in liquidity admits that operating it is no longer worthwhile.
Blast, one of Ethereum’s Layer-2 networks, has officially begun shutting down.
The reason isn’t a hack or a regulatory decision…
but a harsher truth: operating costs have become higher than revenues.
A network that, at its peak, reached more than $2 billion in assets,
then liquidity and activity shrank until the model could no longer fund itself.
The message isn’t that all Layer-2 networks will disappear.
The message is that “huge TVL” doesn’t necessarily mean a profitable or sustainable project.
Users have until October 26, 2026 to withdraw via Blast’s usual interface,
then withdrawals through bridge contracts on Ethereum become more complex.

In crypto, hype attracts liquidity… but only revenues are what keep networks alive.
