Markets have ignited with the rockstar release of the highly anticipated $BLUR airdrop. The Blur NFT marketplace officially opened redemptions yesterday.
After a slow initial launch, which saw the Blur project roadmap delayed - the Blur NFT marketplace has been on the up and up.
Currently situated in the top 10 NFT exchanges (by volume) - Blur exchange has seen $430m in monthly trading volume.

With the stated goal of rewarding liquidity provision, rather than attempting to incentivize it, Blur users have been able to earn the airdrop for a few months – awarding those who stuck around in the bear market, those that mint NFTs on the marketplace, and those who transact large volumes across it.
