According to Cointelegraph, Blur plans to shut down its public website. The move follows ongoing discussion around Blur’s business practices, including its royalty policies and token reward structures that contributed to the platform’s growth during the recent NFT market surge.
While the shutdown itself is not directly explained in the source, the decision has prompted reactions from NFT collectors who have expressed support. These reactions stem in part from concerns highlighted about how certain platform features—such as royalty settings and token incentives—impacted creators negatively despite helping Blur gain market share over platforms like OpenSea.
The closure of the website reflects an operational change for the company. It does not mention timelines, technical reasons, or alternative access methods. Critics have previously pointed to the policies and rewards system as factors both beneficial to collectors seeking value and problematic for creators receiving reduced net earnings from secondary sales.
