Blast’s white paper promises a user-centric, meritocratic DeFi ecosystem. [See “Blast Gold Distribution” criteria: “Dapps that build something valuable for the Blast ecosystem will be rewarded.”] But recent actions tell a different story.
@PacmanBlur’s consistent spotlight on @jenn , a KOL, directly contradicts Blast’s stated values. It prioritizes hype and connections over genuine innovation and user-driven success.
This sends a concerning message to the Blast community:
-
KOLs Are King: Your network matters more than the quality of your project.
-
Memecoin Mania: Speculative tokens overshadow dApps with real-world utility.
-
Centralized Power: KOLs become gatekeepers, controlling access and visibility.
Blast can be a truly decentralized DeFi force. But it needs a course correction, aligning actions with its white paper vision.
The Blast community demands better:
-
@PacmanBlur, Explain Yourself: Clarify why KOLs pushing memecoins are prioritized over developers building valuable dApps.
-
Support User-Focused Projects: Allocate Blast Gold and resources to projects that demonstrably benefit the community, not just those with KOL endorsements.
-
The Blast “DAO”: The KOL’s you recruited do not want to govern. Give the community a stronger voice in determining the direction of the ecosystem.
Let’s shift the focus back to users, merit, and building a sustainable Blast, where innovation thrives and everyone has a chance to succeed.
