Blast Ditches Safe for Wallets—Option 2 Will Blow Your Socks Off!

In a move that will shock absolutely nobody who still has their towel handy, Blast (the Layer-2 blockchain whose origin story involves someone named Pacman and, presumably, a lot of snacks) announced it’s giving Safe’s multisig front-end a gentle shove off the digital pier. The official reason? “Third-party risk and usability concerns”—which is code for, “it’s getting a bit awkward at parties, and no one wants to sit next to Risk.”

Proudly backed by Paradigm and powered by executive-level finger-crossing, Blast says it’s working on integrating multisig straight into its own mobile platform. Yes, that’s right: “We think we can do it better ourselves. Or at least, faster. Or, well, faster than Safe reorganizing after that ‘little’ incident.”

The fun began Tuesday, when the Blast folks dropped the news on X (where announcements go to become immortal memes), letting multisig users know that Safe’s front-end is now in the “remember that thing?” category. Your two options? Work with BrahmaFi’s front-end, or host your own—because nothing says ‘cutting-edge security’ like the DIY approach. 🔧

“That’s why we’re building multisig functionality directly into Blast Mobile — bringing secure wallet access to the entire Blast community.”

Meanwhile, the Safe saga continues. Fresh from a mid-April plot twist worthy of the Vogon Constructor Fleet, Lukas Schor announced a company restructuring—fourteen colleagues out the metaphorical airlock. Officially, “complexity” was invoked as the culprit: operations were “spontaneously generating new dimensions and obscure workflow vortexes faster than they could be documented.”

Just to keep things interesting, Safe’s housecleaning came in the wake of a $1.43 billion theft—a sum large enough to make even digital currency skeptics spit out their tea. It unfolded when North Korea’s TraderTraitor gang waltzed into a Safe developer environment using, of all things, a fake stock simulator. Malware, stolen session tokens, and laptops: the usual heist, just without the ski masks and slightly less jazz music.

if you want multisig on Blast, you’re either going DIY or betting BrahmaFi never gets hacked. Or you’re waiting for the next episode of “As the Crypto Turns.” Either way, bring snacks, nerves of steel, and maybe a towel, just in case. 🧻🚀
