On March 1, Beijing time, Blast was launched on the mainnet as scheduled. According to the data panel produced by Flipside data analysts, 3 hours after the launch of the Blast mainnet, there were 25,000 wallets in the Blast network that executed more than 620,000 transactions, creating an average of 0.5 blocks per second, with an average gas fee of 0.000383 ETH (about $1.3 at the current price), an average TPS of 1.4, and a peak TPS of 144.5. In terms of smart contract deployment, more than 7,000 contracts have been deployed on Blast.
In terms of rewards, which users are most concerned about, Blast currently allows early access users to cross-chain to the mainnet and use Blast native DApps. Mainnet users will continue to earn Blast points, and mainnet DApps can now earn Blast Gold (gold coins). 50% of the Blast airdrop is allocated to Blast points (users) and 50% to Blast gold (DApps). Gold coins will be distributed to DApps every two weeks. DApps can keep gold coins for themselves, but some DApps have promised to give all gold coins to users.
This article will review 14 ecological projects that can kill two birds with one stone after the Blast mainnet is launched. Among these projects, the vast majority are winning projects of the Blast Big Bang competition.
Thruster (Blast Big Bang Competition Winner)
Thruster is a Blast native DEX that has launched on the mainnet with a protocol fee of 0. The Thruster official Twitter account is also followed by Pacman Twitter and Blast official Twitter.

In addition, after the mainnet is launched, all interactive activities such as trading and liquidity provision can earn points.
