Welcome to Blast Beat.

If you’re reading this, know that it’s not too late to farm some Blast Gold. 

Nothing in the newsletter or on my Twitter account should be considered financial advice. This is my own opinion and I’m just writing about what I see out there. You are responsible for what you do with your money and crypto.

We’ll run this every day until TGE on June 26th. If it’s too long, just skip to the Action points in yellow.

Notable Numbers

Current Gold Estimate: $7.35

Remaining Gold Waves: 0

Jackpots Distributed: 22/28

Days Until TGE: 10 days

Blast Beat | June 16

Happy Father’s Day to the dads and future dads out there! It’s my first one.

We’re 10 days away from Blast TGE and the sentiment on the timeline is…mild at best? Many seem exhausted from farming, and it feels like few are putting in that last ditch effort to make it across the line.

Which is ironic because Gold has never been more available than it is today. With dapps scrambling to get their last wave of gold out to users, we’re seeing a wild influx of new contests, platforms, and ideas where the Gold is plenty.

So stay focused, find that extra 10min in your day to try a new dapp, and lets cross the finish line in style.

In Today’s edition:

• The Best App on Blast(r)

• Earn Gold for Cancer Research

• 20k Gold on IKB today

• 800k Gold on District One (new platform!)

• New Wolf Game Caves

• Blastin’ Pepes Reveal Tease

BLASTR | The Best App on Blast

With just 10 days left until TGE (!!), many are wondering what comes after the launch. And more importantly, which of these hundreds of dapps will actually stick around.

Well one of the most obvious answers might just be BLASTR.

The platform’s hero arc is already one of legend:

1. Pioneered the refundable NFT.

2. Got downgraded in gold wave 4.

3. Came out with new exciting shit (Ticket Lottery).

4. Got upgraded in gold wave 5.

5. And helped launched hundreds of creators along the way while keeping their collectors safe from rugs and major price drops.

Many are calling Blastr a “solve” to the NFT dilemma, and a huge part of the future of trading NFTs.

Action: Buy a refundable lottery ticket for 0.05 ETH, stake it in your blast jackpot, and learn more about Blastr if you’re curious.

Bonus: Create an NFT collection yourself and earn a part of the 50,000 gold being offered to creators on there. Start by reading Ico’s guide to creating on Blastr.

Earn Gold for Cancer Research

A great idea that I’m surprised we haven’t seen sooner on Blast.

With all the alpha and gen wealth chasing, we now have the opportunity to give back thanks to @icobeast and other community stalwarts.

They’re launching a 10k fully refundable mint on Blastr tonight, where all yield profits will go to support research against cancer.

Action: Mint is 0.028 ETH. It goes live at 10pm EST. Do something good here.

20k Gold on IKB Today

Well well, the Mavericks pushed the series back to Boston!

And IKB gets to avoid the awkward moment where they have to dish out 200k gold to MLB contests for just another day.

Action: If you got some fresh powder, throw a couple Pick Em’s at IKB. Their NBA contest is already closed for today unfortunately.

District One | 800k Gold This Week

Starting June 19th, District One will be launching some type of Meme platform and awarding 800k gold in just 4 days.

Which is kind of nuts when you consider that D1 has been one of the top rewarded dapps thus far, and has gotten there on something completely unrelated to memes (a friend tech-style chat platform).

Action: Keep an eye on Blast Beat + the timeline for how you can participate.

Wolf Game Launches Cracked Caves

And it will be sunsetting its current caves tonight, meaning all its remaining gold will go to Cracked Caves.

I still believe that Wolf Game is one of the best ways to earn gold, although you’ll need to dish out a bit of cash to get there. Its a fun pay to play.

They’ve also got a $100k jackpot going for these caves which should make the competition a bit more intense.

How the new caves work:

• Treasure is hidden in the corners and middle of the maps (Treasures = Points = Gold)

• There are few resources on the way to the middle, so players will need to load up to get there (i.e. pay).

• Stamina is being introduced and it is near impossible to replenish (aside from buying a blue pill in-game)

• All power-ups can be purchased in $bWool, which has already seen 20m tokens burned.

Action: None. If you’ve been playing, then you’ve been playing. But at this point I don’t think many people would start out of the blue!

Blastin’ Pepes Tease a Reveal

It seems like just yesterday that Blastin’ Pepes were the talk of the town!

They doubled in price post-mint, then won a jackpot, all while boasting an innovative (and confusing) token tech where NFT + tokens are bound together.

Lost amidst all that was the fact that they are an actual NFT collection, and their reveal is coming very soon. Perhaps even this week!

Action: 75% of the collection is locked, and mint price is only 0.03 ETH above mint (which is refundable). Grab one, stake it on Wasabi, and put those $bPepe tokens in your jackpot deck!

Thanks everyone for reading! Feel free to drop questions and feedback in the comments or on twitter.
