Ethereum Layer-2 Blast shuts down after 98% asset decline

Why it matters

A major Layer-2 solution collapse signals weakening confidence in Ethereum scaling infrastructure and user flight from the ecosystem. Cascading losses at L2 platforms typically weaken the broader Ethereum narrative despite not directly impacting ETH functionality.

In plain language

A large Ethereum sidechain called Blast is shutting down because users withdrew almost all their money (98% gone). This suggests people are losing confidence in Ethereum's scaling solutions.
