The story so far: Blast network shutdown
Ethereum layer-2 network Blast announced a full shutdown, saying maintenance costs far exceeded revenue. Coinbase halted BLAST trading on 20 Oct and urged users to withdraw before 26 Oct, when the network shuts down and Upbit delists BLAST. Blast has now closed, with a recovery site open until 4 November 2027.
