🚨 Arcus just dropped the details everyone farming Points needed to know
250K points. Every week. Fixed.
Here’s what changed/confirmed:
🔵250K S1 points distributed every week, regardless of platform growth
🔵Distribution every Wednesday at 3PM EST
🔵Dashboard shows your personal points + weekly total
🔵S0 points are still hidden and will be revealed later
🔵Points program runs until no later than June 2027
🔵Referral/invite system is getting an update next week
Most of the program is still ahead.
If you’re farming Arcus, this is definitely one to keep watching.👀
We owe the community a clear update on Arcus Points.
Over the past few days, some of our own messages about the program were not as clear as they could have been. This post is the definitive version - nothing about the program itself has changed:
1. Weekly distribution: Season 1 points are fixed at 250K per week. This amount does not change with platform growth or adoption.
2. Transparency: For Season 1, you'll see your individual points and the weekly total on the Points Dashboard, updated with every weekly distribution (updates on Wednesday 3PM EST).
3. Season 0: S0 points remain redacted for now and will be revealed at a later date.
4. End date: The Arcus Points program will conclude no later than the end of H1 2027. Most of the program is still ahead, and you are still early.
5. For transparency, we've also updated the Introducing Arcus Points blog post to reflect all of the above (https://t.co/D0exBQVJY7).
Thank you as well for the feedback on the referral and invite code program. We'll be shipping an updated system in the new week.
Blast is shutting down 💀
One of the biggest degen chains of the last cycle is officially coming to an end.
Blast was THE chain for farming, points and pure degen activity.
Crazy to see how fast it went from one of the hottest ecosystems to basically shutting down.
If you still have funds on Blast - get them out before October 26.
Check your old wallets. You might have something sitting there from the good old degen days.
Blast will be shutting down.
We launched Blast with the goal of building a self-sustaining chain for users and developers. Unfortunately, the economics of operating the chain no longer make sense: the ongoing costs of maintaining Blast exceed the revenue generated by the L2, and we do not see a credible path to making the chain economically sustainable.
As a result, we've made the difficult decision to wind Blast down.
We're sorry to the users and developers who believed in Blast, built on it, and supported the ecosystem. Our priority now is making the shutdown as smooth and safe as possible.
We're asking all users to withdraw their assets from Blast to Ethereum mainnet, including any balances held in the Blast PWA.
To make this easier, we will be reducing the withdrawal delay to 24 hours.
As part of the shutdown process, we'll first begin withdrawing Blast's Lido assets. This process is expected to take approximately one week. During this period, withdrawals will temporarily be unavailable, even after the withdrawal delay is reduced to 24 hours.
Once that process is complete, withdrawals will resume with the new 24-hour delay.
Users will have until October 26, 2026 to withdraw through the normal Blast interface.
After October 26, assets will remain withdrawable, but users will need to interact directly with the Blast bridge contracts on Ethereum L1. We'll publish detailed instructions before then.
We strongly encourage everyone to withdraw their assets to Ethereum mainnet before October 26.
