Bidding Points have been updated to reward bidders who take real risk with the most points.

$BLUR rewards will go to users who genuinely contribute to Blur's growth

The following tactics don't work

1. Transferring NFTs for loyalty
2. Wash trading
3. Spoofing bids

Learn more👇 1. Transferring NFTs to game Loyalty

Loyalty is critical for Season 2

Transferring NFTs to list on other marketplaces decreases loyalty

This isn't reflected in the UI, but transfers to list on other marketplaces are tracked on the backend and decrease the transferrer's loyalty

1/ Introducing Blend: the Peer-to-Peer Perpetual Lending Protocol for NFTs.

Built in collaboration with @danrobinson and @transmissions11 at @paradigm, Blend enables 10x higher yield opportunities than current DeFi protocols and unlocks greater liquidity for NFTs.

Here’s how 👇 Image 2/ Blend, short for Blur Lending, unlocks liquidity for NFTs.

Token markets exploded with the introduction of stronger financial primitives.

Now, NFT-native primitives will jump start the next stage of growth for the NFT market.

300M+ BLUR will be distributed to the community in Season 2.

What’s the secret to maximizing rewards? Loyalty.

Users with 100% loyalty have the highest chances of Mythical Care Packages, which are worth 100x Uncommon Care Packages.

Here are 3 ways to maximize your loyalty👇 1. List through Blur. Whenever you list, make sure to list using Blur. You can use our advanced listing tools to list everywhere in one go, but in Season 2 there’s only one way to maintain 100% loyalty.

After speaking with traders, collectors, and creators, we’re updating our royalty policy. Blur will enforce a minimum royalty on immutable collections. We are also airdropping $BLUR to creators of collections that trade on Blur (snapshot complete). In November, Blur adopted the filter registry and started enforcing royalties on collections that used it. At the same time we continued to incentivize royalties on existing/immutable collections that were not able to use the filter registry.

Airdrop 2 has been recalculated! We fixed the wash trading filters that affected legitimate traders. We also updated package counts to reflect that Airdrop 2 recipients will receive 10x more $BLUR than Airdrop 1.

The claim period has been extended to Jan 3 for all recipients. Airdrop 2 had wash trading filters that penalized some legitimate traders. It also wasn't clear what exactly was meant when we said Airdrop 2 would be 10x bigger than Airdrop 1. This update addresses both issues. Learn more in the article below. mirror.xyz/blurdao.eth/CE…

Blur adopted the filter registry last month, but the current OS policy makes creators choose between earning revenue on OS or Blur, but not both. This policy is not always enforced. Pirate Nation has been earning royalties on both platforms and has earned more from Blur than OS. Valhalla wasn’t able to take advantage of Blur adopting the registry because OS removed their royalties when they whitelisted Blur (reflected on-chain). Creators who use the registry should be able to earn revenue from all platforms rather than being limited to one or the other

@keung Thanks for your thoughtful comments @keung. Reading through your thread now — we'll follow up by eod. @keung Our policy is to make a best effort to refund users when there are platform bugs. When there are user errors, we improve the UI to reduce them but we don’t issue refunds (ie showing a warning when a bid is higher than normal is considered a ui improvement for user errors).

Blur Airdrop 2 is officially LIVE!

Our second airdrop is 10x larger than the first.

You have 14 days to claim by placing a bid on Blur ⏰ In the month since launching Blur has processed $225 million in trading volume. For comparison OpenSea processed $357m.

Blur will enforce royalties on permissioned NFTs. We will continue to incentivize royalties on all NFTs while taking 0% marketplace fees ourselves. For context, OpenSea announced last week that they would turn off royalties on new collections that don't block optional royalty marketplaces.

Blur is officially LIVE!

To celebrate our launch we’re airdropping Care Packages containing $BLUR tokens to everyone who’s stuck around in the bear market.

You have 14 days to claim ⏰ Blur is the NFT marketplace for pro traders. We started Blur because we wanted a faster platform for trading NFTs ourselves. None existed with the capabilities we needed, so we built it.
