Blur has surpassed OpenSea to become the largest NFT marketplace.

Blur is a hybrid platform that combines a marketplace and an aggregator.

Blur was in closed beta for nearly a year before going live in October 2022 and has now reached 53% volume market share within a few months of launch.

Blur offers zero marketplace fees along with an option to skip or reduce royalty payments.

The platform also offers the fastest NFT sweeps and NFT swipes.

But the biggest reason for Blur’s rise in market share, apart from low fees and fancy tools, is the $BLUR airdrop.
