Rising contender<\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, the $BLUR token is trading at $0.77, and the number of unique active wallets (UAW) is 72k. Moreover, in the battle of the NFT marketplaces, Blur is certainly making its presence felt. According to DappRadar, Blur\u2019s 24-hour trade volume is $55 million, which even usurps the NFT giant Opensea.<\/p>\n

Blur is an Ethereum specific NFT marketplace. What is more, it has provided a serious challenge to Opensea\u2019s throne<\/a> in recent weeks. For one, the marketplace\u2019s community-first approach is eye catching. In addition, the marketplace appears to be prioritizing its traders.<\/p>\n

Blur said in a Tweet: \u201cSince launching [four] months ago, 146,823 users have traded $1.2 billion dollars [sic] worth of NFTs on Blur (wash trading excluded). This growth is breathtaking and was only possible with the support of the Blur community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inception to community token<\/h2>\n

Blur launched in October 2022 with a clear strategy and focus<\/a>. Indeed, the direction was a zero-fee marketplace, aimed at professional NFT traders. Since its inception, there has been a total of 3 airdrops to the buzzing Blur community.<\/p>\n

Initially, the first airdrop took place for everyone who traded in the 6 months prior to the launch of Blur\u2019s marketplace.<\/p>\n

Then, in November, lucky traders received another airdrop if they were actively listed on Blur throughout the month.<\/p>\n

Finally, the 3rd and largest airdrop took place on Tuesday, which was for traders who placed bids on Blur marketplace.<\/p>\n

According to Dune analytics, 86% of the airdropped $BLUR tokens have been claimed by traders. This suggests that the Blur community is both active and highly responsive.<\/p>\n

Now that the $BLUR community token is live, we can expect a lot more from this thriving NFT marketplace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
