On Tuesday, Blurdelayed their token-launchby 90 minutes, warning collectors to be aware of potential phishing attempts and scam links.

Blur launched in October with astrategy to cater to professional NFT traderswith a zero-fee marketplace. In its first 24 hours,it conducted $2.5 million in trading volume, creeping up on OpenSea’s trading volume. While the royalty-optional marketplace has added fuel to the fire to theongoing debateamong creators and marketplaces, it has continued to trail behindOpenSea’s trading volume numbers.
