The record

From 8 activities · May 2026

Built noteworthy projects including Blur and Blast that initially showed promise and pushed the industry forward, but both suffered from poor execution and mismanagement post-launch. Blast in particular disappointed users with ghosting after the TGE, undelivered promises to builders, abandoned ecosystem projects, and prolonged communication silence before eventual shutdown. Created conflicts of interest by running both Blur and Blast simultaneously with separate investor bases while tokens remained publicly traded.

“Brain behind Blur”Blur is an amazing NFT platform that I have been using since its launch. However, I'm unsure of the direction Blast is heading and do not fully vibe with it. Might still have potential to do well, only time will tell.

“It was good until memecoin season end”I can’t ignore that Pacman has achieved some impressive things and helped push the industry forward. But it’s hard to overlook how poorly both Blur and Blast were handled whether it was negligence or just bad decision-making. Either way, it’s disappointing to see so much potential mismanaged.

“changed the game”Its not easy to build multiple projects like he did, and also take all the heat that comes with it. But either way you slice it, Blur changed the game, and Blast season was tons of fun.

“blur founder”dont like how he communicate, it feels like he's not more innovating his platform ( remember times when he was releasing 1 update per week for blur )

“Clearly a very capable innovator, but I'm unsure whether his products are for the good of the ecosystem.”Blur was undeniably a very well put together product, which made waves in the NFT space when it launched, but many of the decisions made by Pacman were incredibly short-sighted and potentially damaging for the ecosystem. That said, those innovations have compelled the competitors to evolve which is driving a continuous cycle of progress. Blast also presented many innovations and opportunities for the community, but the execution of it's launch and the apparent inability to listen to the community feedback early on was frustrating to watch. He's good at innovating and marketing new products, but my advice to him would be to listen to the community more and build for longevity.

“Pacman, the man with the plan or so it seems....”Completely changed the NFT scene with the launch of Blur. It was a huge achievement knocking out the behemoth that is Opensea off the top spot With Blur he rewarded the big users very generously, landing him in plenty of good books. With Blast, there was that same sense of euphoria and hype, attracting a lot of attention and a high TVL even before TGE. But communication faltered, lack of news, silence on all social media channels, no support for key or upcoming projects. The TGE dissapointing, Blast Gold was overestimated, and price performance of $BLAST was underwhelming as was the airdrop. After S2, more users left, Blast had a few good dapps remaining, but again no comms and another exodus. Fantasy left, Predict exited, Thruster has closed down, and so many more. Now Pacman has pivoted to a mobile centric chain, he is still building behind the scenes. There are so many projects all promising the same, and these are miles ahead in terms of development and features. it is going to be hard to recapture that mania and hype from Blast or Blur. But if anyone can, Pacman is the man and i hope he succeeds.

“Controversial Builder”Blur was a success and he did a great job with bringing interesting consumer crypto DApps to blast, but it didn't stick, apparently incentives alone doesn't guarantee an ecosystem's success

“Poor leadership, zero engagement, and a clunky UI disappoint users.”

“Short-Sighted Ambition”He’s too young and focused only on what’s right in front of him. Not gonna lie, his vision is short-term.
