Overview

Welcome to the official documentation for Blast, a blockchain solution utilizing the innovative zkEVM technology pioneered by Polygon zkEVM rollup. Blast focuses on scaling and enhancing blockchain interactions through the One World Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain designed to be more accessible, responsive, and capable of supporting a larger number of users compared to traditional blockchain platforms.

What is Blast Building?

Blast is not just adopting but also enhancing the zkEVM technology to scale blockchain applications effectively. As blockchain technology becomes increasingly foundational to decentralized applications, the need for more efficient, cost-effective solutions becomes apparent. This is particularly crucial as higher costs and slower transaction times could impede wider adoption.

Blast utilizes zero-knowledge proofs, a form of cryptography that allows for privacy and complete transparency in transactions. The technology enables the One World Chain to ensure all network activities are secure and compliant with established blockchain protocols, offering unparalleled security, decentralization, and resistance to censorship.

Our adoption of zkEVM technology means that Blast can provide Ethereum-compatible scalability solutions that maintain rigorous security standards and improve transaction efficiency.

Using Blast Today

The Blast mainnet is live! It operates using the One World Chain, with $OWCT (One World Chain Tokens) as its native currency. Here’s how you can engage with the platform:

• Explore: Visit the Blast Chain Block Explorer at https://blastchain.org to view live transactions and network status.

• Transact: Perform transactions using OWCT, which are used for paying transaction fees and conducting operations across the network.

• Develop and Deploy: Utilize our detailed developer guides to build and deploy decentralized applications (DApps) on the Blast network.

The Future of Blast

While the Blast mainnet is operational, our mission continues with a focus on expanding the capabilities and decentralizing the infrastructure of our network. Stay informed about our progress and join the community discussions via our blog, Discord, or Twitter.
