Blur supports only the Ethereum blockchain, whereas OpenSea has also integrated Polygon, Solana, BNB Chain and Avalanche.<\/p>\n

The surge in Blur’s metrics came amid a governance token airdrop<\/a> among NFT traders. The media reported plans for the marketplace to close a funding round with a valuation of $1 billion.<\/p>\n

In mid-February, Blur’s head, known as Pacman, urged NFT creators to ignore OpenSea<\/a> because of the royalty-collection policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Against the backdrop of the standoff between the two platforms, the OpenSea team shifted the marketplace<\/a> to an optional-royalty model, temporarily suspended fees and allowed assets listing on third-party marketplaces.<\/p>\n

In February, the number of Ordinals-based NFTs on the Bitcoin blockchain, issued via the Ordinals protocol, exceeded 100,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
