The Cooks Newsletter #2
Welcome to The Cooks 2nd edition by Ola & Nics!
This edition will be divided into 3 parts:
1. Trend analysis - Blast the next COOK
2. Upcoming projects
3. Blastopians Giveaway
Blast is coming soon and people are underestimating it:
We're already in February, Blast testnet has been launched, and the mainnet is coming in a few weeks (if you've just woken up from a coma, Blast is the L2 Ethereum created by Blur).
As a reminder, Blast has +200k active wallets and 1.3b$ have been deposited. It wouldn't be surprising to see it surpass BLUR's market cap (700m$).
A new L2 means a new network that needs DeFi tools, marketplaces, NFT projects, memecoins etc...
New opportunities will be everywhere for airdrops & early trades.
Here's how to position yourself:
If you haven't already done so, bridge to Blast, it's not too late, your ETH or USDC will be locked 1 month. (Feel free to use the code OQ1GT for more points) Once you've done this, you're already eligible for $BLAST airdrop, but there's a lot more to come.
Then go to Blaster, this is already one of the most hyped swap and launchpad tools. You are directly eligible for another $BLSTR airdrop only because you are eligible for $BLAST.
(Nics claimed 11k $BLSTR pre-tokens thanks to his deposit on Blast)
Register to Blastscore here and claim your OG NFT and you’ll earn some XP. There are also some quests for interacting with other Blast projects. (Could be worth to be eligible for more airdrops)
If you're really motivated to dive deeper, here's a GOD list of the best protocols to interact with.
Blast NFT Projects:
I have a theory that leads me to believe that Blur will, for the first time, open up another blockchain to trade on their NFT marketplace.
Given that they created Blast, I wouldn't be surprised to see Blast NFTs open up on Blur for season 4 with incentives to interact with it.
This could clearly create a run on Blast NFTs, here is for now the best upcoming projects:
@BlastPenguins really hyped one for now with pengswap $PENG
@blastopians is really hyped too; lot of upcoming utilities on Blast; staking system; airdrops (Giveaway + more info at the end of the mail)
@newblastcity is still early; their website is goated, team’s building since November, strong collabs with memeland & moonbirds.
More projects:
In conclusion, please don't wait to find out whether the Blast launch will be a success or not, all the steps we've given above are free.
If it turns out that the Blast launch is a success, it could be child's play to make 5 figures if you really get involved before the hype.
In the next edition, we'll give you an update on the ecosystem and the next steps to take.
