    What is Blast?<\/h2>\n\n\n

    L2s today do not have this yield. Incorporating ETH and stablecoin yield natively requires a new L2 designed from the ground up. Blast is an EVM-compatible, optimistic rollup that raises the baseline yield for users and developers without changing the experience cryptonatives expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Blast is the only Ethereum L2 with native yield for ETH and stablecoins. Blast yield comes from ETH staking and RWA protocols. The yield from these decentralized protocols is passed back to Blast users automatically. With NOWNodes it aims to simplify the management and operation of full nodes, making blockchain technology more accessible to developers, businesses, and enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Key Blast Features<\/h2>\n\n

    Auto Rebasing<\/h3>\n\n\n

    Blast’s platform introduces native rebasing for ETH directly on Layer 2 (L2). Unlike WETH, STETH, or other ERC20 tokens, ETH balances in Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) automatically rebase. Smart contracts can opt-in to this feature, simplifying deployment for existing DApps on Blast without modifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Blast’s native stablecoin, USDB, also features automatic rebasing for both EOAs and smart contracts, although smart contracts have the option to opt-out if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n

    L1 Staking<\/h3>\n\n\n

    Blast was made possible by Ethereum\u2019s Shanghai upgrade. The ETH yield from Layer 1 (L1) staking, initially sourced from Lido, is automatically distributed to users through rebasing ETH on L2. The Blast community will have the future capability to either supplement or replace Lido with Blast-native solutions or other third-party protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n

    T-Bill Yield<\/h3>\n\n\n

    Stablecoins bridged into Blast are converted into USDB, which auto-rebases. The yield for USDB is derived from MakerDAO\u2019s on-chain T-Bill protocol. When users bridge back to Ethereum, USDB can be redeemed for DAI. The Blast community may eventually choose to supplement or replace MakerDAO with Blast-native solutions or other third-party protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Gas Revenue Sharing<\/h3>\n\n\n

    Unlike other L2s that retain gas fee revenue, Blast programmatically returns net gas revenue to DApp developers. These developers can either keep the revenue or use it to subsidize gas fees for their users, providing a more economical solution for DApp operations.<\/p>\n\n\n

    How to run a Blast Full Node with NOWNodes<\/h2>\n\n\n
