Blur is the leading NFT marketplace for professional traders. Since our public launch in October 2022, Blur has become the #1 aggregator for NFT trading on Ethereum, surpassing billions of dollars in trading volume and attracting hundreds of thousands of users worldwide. In 2023, we launched our governance token, $BLUR, and established the Blur DAO, further decentralizing our platform's direction and growth.
