Some have asked repeatedly why there's a legal case between the BLAST Chain (BlastChain.org) and the other BLAST chain (Blast.io). When building a long-term project, brand protection becomes a crucial part of the process to reduce the proliferation of bad actors. Here are some details for clarity and why this proactive opposition is more than necessary. 1. The easiest answer is: one platform is REAL and the other is a FAKE popular ponzi scheme, which needs to be exposed and stopped. Too many have been victimized. 2. Soon after announcing it was time for the BLAST chain on the SafeBLAST roadmap to begin, the fake platform used the BLAST name and likeness along with its good reputation to raise about $20,000,000 ($20M USD) for their fake launch. Imagine if those funds were directed towards the real BLAST Chain. 3. The fake platform was able to launch on a bigger scale and trick people into believing that it was the real BLAST, when there was absolutely NO connection whatsoever. 4. Many users also rushed to the fake chain because they were promised over 50% APR on staking and a bunch of other enticing fake rewards. I tried to stop it by reaching out to multiple platforms but no one will listen because they were mostly blinded by quick profit with false hype. 5. Soon after reality kicked in, I was getting emails and messages for help, instead of the victims going to the fake platform for recovery. So, I had to go after them to legally clear the real BLAST name. 6. BLAST is a fully Registered Trademark for the real BLAST Chain in this space. The fake imitators also tried to falsify an application for a Trademark. But it was short lived after an insider with a guilty conscience notified me of their scheme and I quickly stepped in with my attorneys. Their fake application is currently suspended with additional legal procedures to follow and stop them for good. 7. Many (not all) top crypto platforms who constantly preach BUIDL, HODL and all the DYOR crap are the same ones who like to promote junk imitators and give these scammers a bigger platform to thrive. Shamefully, when you don't have like "100k followers" on Twitter or whatever, this crypto space treats you like crap and with disrespect regardless of your knowledge or legitimacy. 8. You would think that crypto news platforms like Coindesk, Cointelegraph and others will write about a big Ponzi scheme like this, especially if they're not also beneficiaries of the scheme. But I'm still waiting to hear them speak up against such a deceptive act of scam. 9. Most of the stunting growth of small legit projects are created by some top platforms who make useless rules to benefit falsely hyped projects. This is how the fake BLAST chain was able to thrive so fast with top listings and integrations despite being a ponzi scheme. 10. Even now that some of these platforms know the truth, they're still reluctant to take swift action because they don't want to look foolish. But doing the right thing is not foolishness. 11. Simply put, the BLAST Chain in the SafeBLAST ecosystem is the REAL one and the other platform with the yellow / gold letter B logo is FAKE and a Ponzi scheme. 12. The case is ongoing. Their attorneys had 60 days to respond to the Trademark Board but did not. A default judgement was entered against the fake platform on November 27, 2025 and they had an additional 30 days to respond to the default judgement but did not. I'm not satisfied with a default judgement because I had all the tools to publicly expose their Ponzi scheme through a legal proceeding, especially with additional discovery. They created a big damage to the BLAST brand, many people lost their investments and these clowns should be held accountable for it. So, Yes, I'm moving the case forward with some special filings to execute certain actions against these scumbags. Many thanks for your time and understanding. #BLAST #BLASTChain #Crypto #Blockchain #buyingcontent

On July 15th, 2025 the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued a Trademark certificate for the BLAST chain to protect the brand name "BLAST" in the Blockchain and Cryptocurrency space. This is the highest level of "Doxx" out there. More to come, so stay tuned.
