Blur

Blur is a professional NFT marketplace and aggregator launched in October 2022, specifically designed for high-volume and active traders. Unlike gallery-style platforms, Blur functions more like a trading terminal: real-time floor data, deep bid books, bulk sweeping, and portfolio analytics.

It aggregates listings from multiple marketplaces (including OpenSea) so users can see the best available prices and execute faster. Blur charges 0% marketplace fees and pioneered optional/minimum royalties, which helped it rapidly capture a large share of Ethereum NFT volume in 2023.

The same team later launched Blast (an Ethereum L2) and integrated it into Blur. Blur also operates Blend, a peer-to-peer NFT lending protocol that lets users borrow ETH against their NFTs with no fixed repayment date.

Key Features

• Real-time analytics — live floor prices, bid depth, portfolio P&L, rarity
• Marketplace aggregation — pull listings from OpenSea and others
• Blend NFT lending — borrow against NFTs with perpetual terms and refinancing auctions
• BLUR token incentives — historical points/airdrop rewards for trading and listing activity
• Blast L2 support — lower gas costs on Blast
