Blast block time is 2.00 s (p50, 24h). Blast is an OP Stack fork operated by the Blast team with the same 2 s sequencer default as Optimism and Base, layered with native yield on ETH and USDB deposits that auto-rebase against L1 staking and T-bill yields. Settlement is on Ethereum via blob calldata. Measured live by holding a `newHeads` WebSocket against the Blast sequencer RPC.
