起底 Blast 创始人 Pacman :从 16 岁辍学到 16 亿美金 TVL 的商业帝国

在他十几岁的时候,Pacman 就想建立一家公司。因此,在16岁时,他克隆了一家现有的创业公司,并被他们录用。为了在那里工作,他辍学并搬到了全国各地,在一年之内,他的整个生活都改变了。

只有17岁的 Pacman 创办了 StrongIntro,一个帮助科技初创公司建立和发展工程团队的平台。尽管他付出了很多努力,通过 YCombinator 并筹集到 12 万美元的资金,但这个项目并没有如愿成功,这次挫折让他回到了起点。

Pacman 意识到下一次创业需要一个联合创始人。他决定去最好的地方寻找:大学。经过两年在 MIT 的时间,他终于找到了他的商业伙伴 Anthony Liu。他们的合作关系在 Pacman 获得 Thiel Fellowship 的10万美元资助后进一步巩固,这使他得以辍学并创办一家初创公司。

与 Anthony Liu 一起,Pacman 创办了 Namebase,一个链上网站域名市场。该平台迅速获得了关注,在短短三个月内交易额超过1000万美元,并筹集了超过500万美元的资金。公司取得了成功,但他们在两年后决定卖掉公司。

2021年,Pacman 发现了 NFT 并立即被吸引。他购买的第一个 NFT(Blitmap),为他赚取了30 ETH,这进一步激发了他的兴趣。他开始撰写关于该领域的文章,并深入研究其细节。然而,他注意到 NFT 生态系统中基础设施的显著缺乏。

2022年10月,Pacman 果断行动,创建了 Blur,一个 NFT 市场。在一年内,Blur 成为最大的 NFT 市场,这要归功于一些关键功能和战略性的空投。尽管遭到一些批评和“Blur 杀死了 NFT”这样的评论,平台的成功是不容否认的。

Not content with the status quo, Pacman launches Blast, the first L2 solution with native yields. Initially, the project faced a lot of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt). However, once Blast came out of beta, it experienced explosive growth as people flocked to get their hands on the airdrop.

Fast forward to now:

  • Season 1 Airdrophas been released.

  • Blast has a total value locked (TVL) of $1.68 billion.

  • Over 1 million walletsconnected to the platform.

Despite these achievements, Blast still faces FUD, and the big question is: Can Pacman change market sentiment again?
