4. What makes Blur unique?
— zero commissions for users;
— fast data aggregation;
— analytical tools (you can look at the history of an NFT token, evaluate its rarity and understand the real demand for the asset);
— you can filter suspicious NFTs (stolen or involved in some kind of scheme).
Blur gained its popularity thanks to airdrops that took place in three stages:
— the first distribution was intended for beta testers;
— the second distribution was distributed among participants who actively traded NFTs;
— at the third stage, tokens were distributed to active Blur users.
The developers also presented their own DeFi service Blend, where users can take out loans secured by their NFTs.
This approach has allowed Blur to drive organic user growth and meet all the needs of NFT fans within one ecosystem.
In addition, this week the Blur developers announced their own L2 solution, Blast.
Conclusion:
Blur is a young and ambitious NFT marketplace that has quickly gained popularity in the industry. It offers a number of unique features and benefits that other sites simply refused to implement.
The Blur phenomenon demonstrates that today the crypto community needs simple and convenient solutions.
