In addition, following the BLUR token AirDrop, the platform carried out a token benefit system that incentivizes users to publish quotes. This has actually boosted market depth and increased NFT sales frequency, causing enhanced liquidity and trading experiences.
OpenSea tried to counter Blur’s success by reorganizing its cost design and policies, however this had a minimal effect as the platforms have various user bases.
We’re making some huge modifications today:

1) OpenSea cost → 0% for a minimal timeFebruary 17, 2023

2) Relocating to optional developer revenues (0.5% minutes) for all collections without on-chain enforcement (old & & brand-new)

3) Marketplaces with the very same policies will not be obstructed by the operator filter

Moreover, Blur’s day-to-day sales frequency per distinct user is substantially greater than OpenSea. This, according to Glassnode, develops “a flywheel impact,” with more sellers feeling great listing on Blur’s platform, developing a bigger offering that brings in more purchasers.

Glassnode discovered even more that comparing the sale sizes of the 2 markets exposed that Blur’s method has actually developed a more profitable sales environment, as evidenced by sale quantities varying from 0.3 to 1.3 ETH. On the other hand, OpenSea has actually kept a constant average of roughly 0.2 ETH for numerous months.

The Ethereum network is not the winner, after all

While Blur’s activity may have caused increased need in blockspace and validator costs on Ethereum, contrary to the belief held by numerous, there has actually been no considerable effect on network adoption, Glassnode discovered.

While there has actually been a development in on-chain activity, the variety of brand-new addresses is still 40% lower than this time in 2015, showing unfavorable momentum.

According to Glassnode:

” The current interest in NFTs appear to mainly interest existing users, and are yet, not able to draw in brand-new users to the Ethereum network. This likewise recommends that both NFT markets talked about above, and undoubtedly most procedures, are contesting the very same preexisting user base of crypto-natives.” Source: GlassnodeRead the very best crypto stories of the day in less than 5 minutes
