Paradigm GP: Disagree with some of Blast’s designs and are communicating related concerns with the team

Paradigm GP Dan Robinson posted on the For example, Paradigm does not agree with the decision to launch "Bridge" before Layer 2 goes online, nor does it agree with the design of not allowing withdrawals within three months, because this sets a very bad precedent for other projects and is excessive marketing. It also damages the serious image of the team. Robinson added that Paradigm supports Pacman (founder of Blur and Blast) and other co-founders because they have demonstrated the ability to build great products over the years, so when Pacman told Paradigm his vision for Layer 2, we invested in him again . Paradigm has been discussing these concerns with the Blast team and appreciates their willingness to communicate, but there are still many differences between the two parties. Paradigm invests in strong and independent founders, and the views of both parties will not always be the same. However, Paradigm understands that the market may hope that Paradigm can set an example in the industry, so Paradigm would like to clarify that the organization does not approve of such strategies and will take Paradigm's responsibilities in the ecosystem seriously. According to previous news, Pacman, founder of Blur and Blast, posted on the Get involved. Frankly, if they were involved, they would probably ask me to change a lot of aspects of the Blast launch. Paradigm is a powerhouse in research. They helped invent Uniswap and Blend, and created Foundry and other tools to further the development of Ethereum. We consulted with Paradigm on the technical aspects of the L2 design (which will go live in February) - they were excellent at this. We don't consult with Paradigm on GTM - we keep it internal. In fact, Paradigm asked me to make changes to the GTM plan after launch. We are actively considering their suggestions. However, like any respectful investor, while they may disagree with a particular plan and offer their own advice, they let the entrepreneurs they work with make the final decision. This is one of the many reasons I love working with their team. "
