**Blink** chose the **Blast Network** for its strong security features, cost-effectiveness, and proficient support for decentralized applications (dApps). As an economical Ethereum Layer 2 solution backed by Paradigm, Blast offers robust security measures, scalability, and a smooth transition point for users and assets shifting from Ethereum L1, Blast, and other interconnected chains.

Blast is designed for users. It allows you to get 4-5% Yield just for using Blast. Also, the economic model of GAS consumption is extremely efficient: all unspent GAS in L1 is sent by the user Blast L2

These attributes align perfectly with Blink's goal of providing a user-centric and cost-efficient decentralized trading platform. The Blast Network's cost-effective EVM setup and access to cutting-edge Ethereum functionalities allow Blink to keep trading fees low and offer users a top-notch trading experience. With the support of Blast and access to a wide user community, easy fiat onramps, and a range of valuable products, Blink is well-positioned to emerge as the leading protocol on Blast Layer 2.
