What is the Blast network?#

Blast is an EVM-compatible optimistic layer 2 associated with Ethereum and designed with native-yield features for certain assets. It is not the Centurion blockchain, and CenturionDEX does not run on Blast.

How Blast works#

An optimistic rollup executes transactions in a layer 2 environment, batches data, and relies on settlement contracts and a dispute mechanism tied to its parent chain. Users depend on additional components such as sequencers, bridges, and withdrawal procedures.

Blast's asset mechanics can differ from ordinary token balances because some supported assets are designed to accrue value or yield under network-specific rules. Those mechanics, their sources, and their risks belong to Blast and should not be assumed to apply on another chain.

Centurion is a separate Proof-of-Stake layer 1. It uses the CVM, native CTN, Newtons, and Centurion-specific CRC token standards.

What this means for CenturionDEX#

CenturionDEX v2 and v3 pools are on Centurion only. A Blast token, application, or AMM pool is not a Centurion Protocol market, even if the interface or contract pattern looks familiar.

To use CenturionDEX, select chain ID 286 and verify Centurion token contracts. Do not approve a transaction while your wallet shows Blast or an unfamiliar network.

Cross-network risks#

Moving assets between Blast and another network requires a supported bridge or service. Risks may include:

Bridge-contract or operator failure.
Delayed withdrawals or network-specific finality.
Receiving a wrapped representation rather than the native asset.
Token contracts with different decimals, controls, or transfer behavior.
Malicious sites imitating an official bridge.

CenturionDEX does not provide recovery for a transfer made through a third-party Blast route.

Common issues#

A balance appears only on Blast: switching networks does not transfer it to Centurion.
A token name matches a Centurion token: compare full contract addresses and official issuer information.
An approval was granted on the wrong chain: review and revoke it on that chain using a trusted tool.
A website promises native yield on CenturionDEX: verify the claim; no such program should be inferred from Blast's design.
A direct send was used instead of a bridge: the asset remains on the network where the transaction executed.

Stay safe#

Use official network and bridge information, verify wallet chain prompts, and limit approvals. Never share a recovery phrase or private key with a person claiming to activate yield or move assets to Centurion.
