NFT marketplace @blur_io announced  on Twitter that the $BLUR airdrop will go live 90 minutes later than original estimate.

"Be careful of phishing links in the meantime. We will only post official updates from our Twitter @BLUR_io", Blur added.

On February 14, 2023 at 1:30 p.m. ET, Blur finally allowed users to redeem "care packages" for its long-awaited native token, $BLUR, after the platform had postponed its launch in January. $BLUR is a ERC-20 governance that token has a maximum supply of three billion, with 12 percent of that supply reserved for airdrop holders. The remaining 87 percent of tokens are split between two lock-up contracts, with 78 percent, and a multi-sig wallet managed by the Blur team, with nine percent. The initial CoinMarketCap report estimated $BLUR's fully-diluted market cap at $14 billion, with a single token trading at just under $5.00. However, the latest figures indicate a significant drop to under $2.3 billion for the market cap and $0.64 per token.

$Blur Launch Announcement Full thread:

$BLUR is now LIVE All traders across all marketplaces in the last 3 months, Care Package holders, and Creators are eligible for the airdrop. You have 60 days to claim your BLUR.

Since launching 4 months ago, 146,823 users have traded $1.2 BILLION dollars worth of NFTs on Blur (wash trading excluded).

This growth is breathtaking and was only possible with the support of the Blur community.

Until now, Blur was developed by a team of committed core contributors. This was just the start for Blur — what we consider Blur’s Season 1.

Now, Season 2 begins. Blur is decentralizing with 360M BLUR being distributed to Traders, Care Package holders, and Creators. Claimable immediately.

BLUR gives the community control over the protocol’s value accrual and distribution. The Blur Foundation has been created to help foster community-led growth for the protocol.

As part of this move, @Zeneca has stepped up to become a director of the Blur Foundation. @PacmanBlur will be joining him as well. You can learn more about BLUR and the foundation on the foundation’s official website at http://BLUR.foundation.

  In the meantime, if you traded NFTs these past few months, hold Care Packages, or Created any collections that traded on Blur, head to http://BLUR.io to claim your $BLUR now. PLEASE make sure to double check the URL before taking any wallet actions.

P.S. If you joined our waitlist back in May, or participated in our private beta, you’ve automatically received an extra airdrop allocation as well :)
