What is Blur?
Blur is an NFT marketplace and aggregator that lets traders sweep NFTs across several marketplaces. Its site advertises zero marketplace fees. The Blur Foundation supports the DAO, and BLUR has a 3 billion token supply minted at genesis.
How Blur works
Blur runs on a handful of Ethereum contracts that the Blur Foundation lists by address: the Blur Exchange and Exchange V2 (both deployed as proxies), an Aggregator contract that fills listings from other marketplaces in one sweep, a Bid Pool contract, and the Blend lending contract for NFT-backed loans.
BLUR is the ERC-20 governance token. Proposals start on the research forum for at least 7 days, move to a 14-day Snapshot vote (100,000 BLUR to propose, 30M BLUR quorum), then to an on-chain Tally vote with a 30M BLUR proposal threshold, 120M BLUR quorum and a 2-day execution delay.
How to start with Blur
- Open blur.io and connect an Ethereum wallet.
- The homepage says 700M BLUR went to users across Seasons 1 and 2, and that Season 3 rewards are earned by listing and bidding on Blur; the season is run with Blast, an L2 the homepage describes as backed by Paradigm and Standard Crypto.
- If you want to borrow against an NFT, Blend loans go through the separate lending contract, whose lender and borrower fees are set by governance.
Blur fees and limits
- The homepage advertises 0% marketplace fees, and you still pay Ethereum gas on every trade.
- Governance can switch on a marketplace protocol fee of up to 2.5% and set lending fees for Blend lenders and borrowers, per the foundation's governance page, so the zero-fee setting is a DAO choice rather than a hard limit in the docs.
Risks to know before using Blur
- Of the 3 billion BLUR minted at genesis, 29% went to core contributors and 19% to investors on 4-year vesting, and 1% to advisors on 4 to 5-year vesting with 4 to 16-month cliffs.
- The exchange contracts are listed as proxies, a pattern that lets their logic be replaced.
- The foundation's audits page links three reports (Blur, Blur v2 and Blend) as Google Drive files without naming the auditor on the page.
