NFT Marketplace Blur to Shut Down Website, Stop New Blend Loans Next Month
Summary
Blur will deprecate its blur.io website on November 12, 2026, while keeping its marketplace protocol active on-chain and leaving BLUR token holders in control of the fee switch. Its Blend NFT lending platform will stop matching new loans that day; borrowers must repay or face default, and Blur plans to provide a later asset-withdrawal tool. The closure comes amid a steep contraction in NFT trading and follows the announcement that Blast, the related Ethereum layer-2 network, will shut down.
