            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pacman, co-founder of Blur and Blast, recently said that the team is actively solving a series of problems and making improvements to optimize the user experience. These issues include points being reduced after migrating to the mainnet (mainly because recommended points are not displayed, expected to be fixed later today), points being displayed as 0 (expected to be fixed mid-week), and points allocated by DApps not being displayed (expected to be fixed later this week) Fixed later), seeing 10x less rewards during the mainnet transition process than expected (UI/design issues), and user interface improvements. In addition, the team is also working hard to release the mainnet rankings (expected to be released mid-to-late this week).</p><p>Pacman highlighted some important changes being made, including allowing wallets to delegate to earn multipliers, color scheme improvements to Blastscan (in collaboration with the Etherscan team), and updates to the mainnet leaderboard. In addition, regarding the incentive issue, holding funds on the chain can obtain Blast points, and using DApps can not only obtain Blast points, but also gold coins and individual DApp airdrops (subject to circumstances). The team also mentioned that once DApps properly integrate the points API, it will become easier for users to use DApps. Guidelines on how to list DApps on the airdrop page will be shared later this week.</p>]]></content:encoded>
