The once popular major public chain Blast has actually shut down.
Back in 2024, when I was in Tokyo checking out projects, I even met several white guys working on Blast projects. One of them was a big hit at the time, about to issue tokens soon, so they toured Asia, raising a round from institutions at an 80 million valuation.
I just checked those integration groups, and they all died off at the end of 2024 or early 2025, while Blast's last official tweet was still in September last year.

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.
Now if you go to offline stores in the US to buy high-end gaming graphics cards, some places require signing a commitment statement (guaranteeing they won't be used for illegal export or resale.
Looking at the domestic distributor prices and what DeepSeek's boss Liang Wenfeng said recently, gaming graphics cards can also be used for running small AI model inference. Could the prices still go up?
The president actually uses the same AI tools as we do daily.
TIME revealed that at the beginning of the year, before invading Venezuela and arresting the president, Trump spent several hours asking Musk's Grok questions like, "If the president is arrested, how would the locals react?" In the end, Trump still ordered the arrest, and afterward thought Grok was a genius.
But now, if you ask, he no longer wants to do it.
The founder of the theory of sexual repression, Feng Ge, previously had 24 years of online quarrels and distant confessions. Unexpectedly, after the other party won the lawsuit, there was more to the story...
The Shenzhen Futian Court issued a public notice. Feng Ge's real name is Zhou Lifeng. After losing the lawsuit and refusing to comply with the court's judgment, the court, at the plaintiff's request for enforcement, published his real name and the judgment content in the newspaper.
This is quite a major blunder. The guy who previously led the opposition against AI and resisted AI.
Today, he posted a National Day tribute to history, but directly pasted the AI-generated prompt into the main text. Although it was promptly corrected afterward, the edit history still shows this original tweet.
In this Middle East hijacking incident, there was an Israeli passenger named Yaniv Hayun, a plumber by profession. He told the Israeli Prime Minister that he and others pushed open the cockpit door and found the stabbed captain lying by the door, with the plane already descending.
After they subdued the hijacker, Yaniv sat in the pilot's seat and tried to pull the control stick up, saving the plane. The reason he was able to do this was because he had watched the documentary Air Disasters.
Overnight, everyone went crazy with criticism. It's unclear if it was intentional, but a White House document claiming to regulate AI superintelligence, signed by CEOs of Nvidia, Google, Anthropic, and even personally retweeted by Trump, contained a mistake.
The name "United States" under Trump's signature was misspelled as "Unites States."
Unexpectedly, after Trump's official naming and various strong promotions,
the market started speculating on the super intelligent abbreviation .SI domain.
Many who rushed in to grab domain names hope to get rich instantly like when .AI domains were registered early on due to the explosion of a certain term or new company. The small country Slovenia, which owns the .SI domain, also gained income from selling domains
Apple fans are in luck. Bloomberg confirmed that in October this year, Apple will announce its entry into the smart home market and is preparing to release a smart hub with a design similar to the 2002 iMac G4.
It can recognize who is speaking and moving through voice or facial recognition, and can control smart devices in the home such as thermostats and door locks.
I looked up the iMac G4; it’s a classic design from the Steve Jobs era. I wonder if it’s meant as a tribute to him.
