BLAST

BLAST's primary application is in the gaming sector, specifically for the cryptoBLAST video game, a team-based multiplayer shooter with a strong cryptocurrency theme. The game aims to increase blockchain awareness within the gaming community. BLAST's network supports merged mining with Bitcoin and other SHA256 coins, improving security through shared hashing power. The blockchain also integrates with the Blocknet Protocol, enabling decentralized applications (dApps) and atomic swaps across blockchains, thus broadening its use case to include cross-blockchain interactions and services. Masternode hosting services like Pecunia offer dedicated support for BLAST, indicating its utility in providing passive income opportunities and enhancing network functionality.

The official BLAST ticker is “BLAST” and trades under that name on all the exchanges where it has been listed. The designation “CRYPTOBLAST” is for CryptoCompare.com only.
