Before you browse the winners we want to make one thing clear: it’s impossible to get it 100% right. 50% of YC founders were previously rejected before getting accepted. There are going to be incredible teams that we missed in the judging. We are excited to highlight winners, but we are just as excited about the teams who submitted who didn’t get selected. The average quality of submissions was impressively high, which made it all the more challenging to select winners. To that end, we’ve reserved an additional airdrop allocation for ALL teams who submitted in the Big Bang competition. Non-winning teams who continue building on Blast and actively contribute to the ecosystem will be eligible to claim this airdrop in May (Points redemption).x
Here’s a breakdown of how the Blast developer airdrop will be allocated.
| Dapp Category | Airdrop | Allocation timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Mainnet Dapps | Out of this world | Mainnet launch to May |
| Big Bang Winners | Substantial | Mainnet launch |
| Big Bang Runner-Ups | Significant | Mainnet launch |
| Big Bang Honorables | Solid | Mainnet launch |
| Other Big Bang Participants | Decent | May |
If you didn't participate in the competition, don't worry. The vast majority of the Blast developer airdrop will be distributed to dapps on the Blast mainnet. Check out our docs to learn how to build new kinds of dapps with Blast's native yield https://docs.blast.io/
<aside> 💡 Big Bang winners, runner ups, and honorable mentions will receive their airdrop allocations once the Blast Mainnet goes live the week of Feb 26. Airdrop allocations will not be revealed until then. Note that allocations are per winner and not per category. Multiple winners in one category does not mean those winners get less than a category with fewer winners.
