Launched in 2022, Blur is an Ethereum-based NFT marketplace offering professional traders batch shelf and floor-sweeping transactions. Blur NFT marketplace also lets its users browse and purchase NFTs from other marketplaces with instant liquidity.

Blur NFT marketplace has introduced a new peer-to-peer called Blend, a short form for Blur Lending. Blur aims to let traders maximize NFT liquidity by allowing buyers to set collateral for their token purchases.

Blur Lending Platform Overview

The new lending platform will enable buyers, previously priced out of the most expensive collections, like Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunk NFTs, to enter the NFT ecosystem. The loans offered through the new lending platform are perpetual, have a fixed rate, and enable the borrower to pay the debt at any point.

Blend will attract zero fees for both borrowers and lenders. Like the Blur marketplace, $BLUR holders will control the new Blend fees and can turn them on after 180 days. Blur NFT market platform will issue more grants in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, the Blur NFT market is bullish about NFTs. The NFT market platform believes its new lending protocol will unlock NFT liquidities and push NFT digital assets to explode back to another bull run. Blur hopes the establishment of firm primitives will jump-start the next stage of growth for the NFT market.
