Cambria was allocated 532,213 Blast Gold in Blast's Phase 2: Gold Distribution for the month of July. We will be distributing 100% of this Blast Gold back to Cambria players. See below on our methodology for awarding this Gold.

Gold Rush Playtests

Every 2 weeks, we will be hosting a limited-time, 72 hour SEASON where early playtesters can compete with thousands of other players to loot Blast Gold, Gold Rush Essence Points, and $BLAST in a persistent, single-shard MMO.

Playtest #3 (100,000 Blast Gold)

Our last playtest (Playtest #3), occurring over the weekend of July 5-7th, was a huge success, with over 1.1k players that minted a 0.002E charter, spending on an incredible 12 hours on average over the weekend in a high-stakes competition for in-game resources (Artifacts, Gold Ore, and Gems). We will be distributing 100,000 Blast Gold to these players based on their leaderboard positions for Royal Favor and Skill XP (14 skills). For more info on how these leaderboards were determined, please reference our Playtest Docs.

Playtest #4 (332,213 Blast Gold)

For our next Playtest (Playtest #4), we're taking things up a notch with our Strongholds and PvP Update. We will be putting a grand total of 332,213 BLAST GOLD into the prize pool for this playtest - players will have to compete or coordinate with other players in a ruthless competition for a lion's share of the prize pool!

Duel Arena v3

In the past 3 months, Duel Arena players have staked over $88m USD over 700k high-stakes battles, all fully escrowed onchain. Players have also earned a total of 1.4m Blast Gold over this period.

To kick off Season 2 of BLAST, we've allocated 5,000,000 $BLAST from our Treasury towards weekly contests & other incentives with our Blast-native Excalibur Pool. Additionally, we've created a 5% points bonus based on $BLAST balances to Duel Arena stakers, adding on to our existing 5% bonus for $PAC holders. We plan to increase the number of community integrations into Duel Arena from the Blast ecosystem and integrate BLAST for use in duels and Pit Fights, moving forward.

Duel Arena Dist. #1 (100,000 Blast Gold)

100,000 Blast Gold will be allocated to Duel Arena players based on both their Essence Points earnings (granted on a curve relative to stake on the Duel Arena Leaderboard) and Matchmaking Liquidity Score - a new system that we've created to identify players that provide matchmaking liquidity across a variety of stake ranges to a wide variety of other active players. This system will incorporate the following:

• The range of stakes that you are most likely to matchmake
• # of Unique Opponents
• The Matchmaking Score & Essence Points profile of those Unique Opponents

This cumulative score will be snapshot on 3rd Friday of each month, for purposes of distribution.
