Blast — the L2 with native yield baked in
Blast pays yield on idle ETH and USDB balances at the chain level. The accounting needs to capture that as ordinary income, not as a price drift.
Blast's core differentiator is native yield — ETH balances on Blast accrue stETH-equivalent yield, and USDB (the chain's USD stablecoin) accrues T-bill yield. Both balances rebase upward over time. For an accountant, that yield is ordinary income on accrual, not a price gain. Wag3s tracks the rebase and books the income on the right account; it also tracks BLAST token allocations from the various points programs and unlock schedules.

Blast accounting questions
Is the rebasing ETH yield on Blast the same as stETH?
Different mechanism, similar accounting outcome. Blast routes idle ETH to liquid staking under the hood. The user's wallet shows the rebased balance; we track the yield accrual at each rebase and book it as ordinary income.
How is BLAST token income classified?
As an airdrop / promotional grant — ordinary income on the claim date at the BLAST fair-value at that time.
