Blur - improving the NFT buying/selling experience
Blur is currently the new NFT marketplace that is making waves on Ethereum. It is being evaluated that it will take NFT trading to the next level with a host of new, innovative features. Blur is a community-based NFT marketplace and aggregator designed for professional traders. It introduces many new features and quality of live updates compared to other leading markets, making the NFT trading experience more streamlined and intuitive. The platform aggregates NFT listings from leading marketplaces like OpenSea, LookRare, and X2Y2, and allows users to list their assets natively on Blur. Unlike many other NFT marketplaces that charge a commission on transactions, Blur maintains a 0% fee on selling NFTs. The Blur NFT Marketplace is a safe and secure platform for NFT traders. All transactions are verified on the Ethereum blockchain and stored securely in wallets that are owned by users.
The platform claims that it runs up to ten times faster than other NFT aggregators, showing pending transactions on NFTs in less than a second, and updating listings every four seconds. The lightning-fast pending transactions display, combined with near-instant metadata updates on collection art reveals, gives Blur users a huge advantage in sniping NFTs. Additionally, Blur’s gas priority presets help users out compete those buying NFTs through other exchanges or aggregators by getting their purchase transactions processed first. The cherry on top is that Blur’s contracts are more optimized than other marketplaces, saving users up to 17% on gas fees.
Another widely-praised feature is how Blur’s interface clearly displays the rarity of different NFT traits and even allows users to see the floor price for specific attributes. Instead of trawling through listings and past sales to accurately value the above-floor-price NFTs, Blur does all the hard work by finding the lowest listings for each individual trait and presenting the data in an easily digestible format. This feature helps users accurately value their own assets and can also aid those looking to snipe NFTs with undervalued attributes.
Blur also excels ahead of its competitors by offering tools to help users “sweep the floor” – slang for buying multiple of the lowest-priced NFTs from a given collection. All collections feature a floor depth chart showing how many NFTs are listed at various intervals above the floor, helping prospective sweepers visualize how their purchases will impact the market. Sweeping on Blur also includes a couple of important quality-of-life updates, such as skipping NFTs that already have pending transactions (again, helping save gas) and skipping over NFTs marked as suspicious or stolen
Tieshun Roquerre is the founder of Blur. Blur has raised a total of $11M in funding.
