On June 3, 2025, @Chilearmy123 opened a slash against @blast on Ethos, seeking to take 200 points off Blast’s credibility score. The slash was open for community voting for 48 hours, which put the close on June 5, 2025.
The case is a useful look at how reputation on Ethos can be challenged. It is not only built up through reviews; it can also be contested by someone who thinks an account’s standing doesn’t reflect its track record.
Where Blast stood before the slash
Ethos is an onchain reputation network where people review and vouch for each other, and every account gets a credibility score based on what others say about it. When the slash was opened, Blast’s profile looked like this:
- Score level: Neutral
- Positive reviews: 72%
- Total reviews: 55
That is a mixed picture. Most reviewers had something positive to say, but a significant share did not, and the overall score sat at Neutral rather than in reputable territory.
“One of the biggest fumbles in Crypto History”
The slash was framed around a single line: “One of the biggest fumbles in Crypto History.” Ethos’s post shared that description but did not spell out the specific events behind it, so this article doesn’t try to fill them in.
What the framing does make clear is the nature of the complaint. It points to a missed opportunity or a misstep serious enough, in @Chilearmy123’s view, to justify a 200-point reduction to Blast’s credibility score.
Why the slash mattered
A review is one person’s opinion recorded on a profile. A slash goes further: it asks the community to vote on whether an account’s credibility should be reduced. In Blast’s case, voters were weighing a profile with a majority of positive reviews against a pointed claim that the project had badly fumbled.
Putting that question to a vote means the result rests with the people taking part, rather than with the person who raised the complaint alone.
The outcome
Voting ran for 48 hours from June 3, 2025. Ethos’s post announcing the slash does not record how the vote ended or whether the 200-point reduction was upheld.
