Blur

Solidranked 2 of 4 in nft marketplaces◆ Sources checked · 27 Sept 2026

Built for people who flip Ethereum NFTs rather than collect them, with a 0% marketplace fee, bid pools and Blend loans. It is no longer where most Ethereum NFTs change hands: its share fell to 25.4% by August 2024, and OpenSea reported about two-thirds of Ethereum NFT volume in October 2025. Mostly optional royalties move value from creators to traders.

Best for: Ethereum floor traders who want a zero marketplace fee

How this score was reached

7.8 is the weighted average of the five pillar findings below. Dependable, with trade-offs a reader should know about first.

Custody & Security25%
7.6

Non-custodial with audited contracts and no loss of user assets on record. Approval management is available but not surfaced prominently.

Cost & Fee Transparency25%
8.8

Zero marketplace fee; royalties mostly optional, with a 0.5% minimum on many collections. BLUR holders can vote a fee of up to 2.5%. The cheapest venue in the category for a seller.

Regulation & Legal Standing5%
5.6

Unlicensed with limited corporate disclosure relative to the volume handled.

Performance & Reliability25%
7.8

Fast execution and aggregation of other venues, but no longer the deepest pool: 25.4% of marketplace volume in Aug 2024 (down from 35.4% in January, behind Magic Eden), and OpenSea took about two-thirds of Ethereum NFT volume in Oct 2025. Ethereum only.

Access & Support20%
7.2

Built for professionals — powerful, dense, and genuinely unwelcoming to a first-time user.

Strengths

  • Zero marketplace fee — the cheapest venue for a seller by a clear margin
  • Fast execution, bid pools and aggregation of other venues
  • Powerful tooling for people who trade seriously

Against it

  • Optional royalties transfer value from creators to traders
  • Market share has fallen since 2024; no longer the deepest Ethereum venue
  • Thin corporate disclosure for the volume it handles

Cheapest for sellers, no longer the deepest

A 0% marketplace fee makes Blur the cheapest venue here for anyone selling, and it has the highest cost score in this table. Bid pools and Blend loans make it fast for people who flip Ethereum NFTs by the floor. BLUR holders can vote a fee of up to two and a half per cent, so zero lasts only while governance keeps it there.

The depth argument has faded with the token-farming boom. Its share of marketplace volume fell from about a third in January 2024 to about a quarter in August 2024, behind Magic Eden, and OpenSea reported about two-thirds of Ethereum NFT volume in October 2025. Mostly optional royalties (a half-per-cent minimum on many collections) move value from creators to traders.

Frequently asked questions

Does Blur charge fees?+

No marketplace fee. Royalties are mostly optional, with a half-per-cent minimum on many collections. For a seller it is the cheapest venue in this table.

Does Blur still have the most liquidity?+

No. Its share fell to about a quarter of marketplace volume by August 2024, and OpenSea reported about two-thirds of Ethereum NFT volume in October 2025. Blur still aggregates other venues, so a trader loses little by using it.

Why do creators dislike optional royalties?+

Because royalty income funds ongoing work on a collection, and making payment optional in practice ends most of it. It is a genuine dispute about how the market should work, not a bug.
