After a delay, Blur's highly anticipated token is live. Traders have 60 days to claim their airdropped BLUR tokens.

After months of anticipation, zero-fee non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace Blur released its native token Tuesday.

Blur said in a tweet that traders have 60 days to claim their airdropped BLUR tokens, which are trading at roughly50 centsat press time, according to CoinGecko.

ā€œSince launching [four] months ago, 146,823 users have traded $1.2 billion dollars [sic] worth of NFTs on Blur (wash trading excluded),ā€ Blursaid in a tweet.ā€œThis growth is breathtaking and was only possible with the support of the Blur community.ā€

According to data fromDappRadar, Blurā€™s 24-hour trading volume stands at about $9.5 million, second only to leading marketplace OpenSea, whose trading volume is around $12 million.

NFT traders have been awaiting the BLUR tokenā€™s release since the platform went live. Originallyset to release in January, Blur has been airdropping its token since October through ā€œcare packagesā€ to collectors who have traded an Ethereum-based NFT in the past six months. 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 OpenSeaā€™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 behindOpenSeaā€™s trading volume numbers.

According to early data fromDune Analytics, 360 million BLUR tokens have been airdropped to "care package" holders. While traders have 60 days to claim their BLUR, over 200 million, or nearly 57% of the token's supply have been claimed.

Interesting NFTs
Auto-Erotic Sphinx with Toys
In this image, a giant sphinx spoons itself in erotic play within an aquatic styled environment littered by various denizens. These creatures include symbols and archetypes both current and nostalgicā€“each inhabiting a rootedness within mass cultural adolescence. Among the roster are Servbots, video game inspired mushrooms, a Pacman-like creature, a distant sea faring rubber duck, creatures sporting the symbols reminiscent of popular anime, and a Pokemon-like rabbit (a novel incarnation of Ganesha indicated by the Shiva trident on its nose). In addition, a few sea creatures partly inspired by sea monsters of western antiquity conglomerate along the mid left side of the composition. The Sphinx itself is an amalgam of aquatic, fetishist, ancient Egyptian, and 80ā€™s style adornments, both living, as in a clown fish, or material, such as a cassette tape. Nautically colored antennae receive somatic signals from the atmosphere, perhaps from the 8 Ball moon or giant ringed planet beyond.
