At 8 o’clock today, Blur announced that it is open for Season 2 airdrop claims and kicks off a 6-month Season 3 airdrop, where NFT traders and creators on Blur are eligible to start receiving Season 2 airdrops and have 45 days to claim BLUR. With the end of Season 2, Season 3 has started today and will last for 6 months, with new rewards for NFT traders and BLUR holders.

50% of the Season 3 rewards will be distributed to NFT traders, who can earn Blur Points through bidding, listing, and borrowing of NFTs. The remaining 50% of the rewards will be distributed to BLUR holders, who will earn Holder Points for holding BLUR.

According to Lookonchain’s monitoring, in the second season of Blur’s airdrop application, the top 10 wallet addresses received a total of 85.69 million BLUR (about $27.25 million), accounting for 28% of the total airdrop of 307.6 million BLUR (about $97.5 million). Thereinto:

Community feedback: Some people lose hemp and some people win hemp

Huang Licheng (@machibigbrother) is a well-known user of the Blur platform, and often trades NFTs with a price of more than 100 ETH on Blur, but after the airdrop was announced, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the airdrop on platform X.

According to community user @The 0x Juan’s analysis, Huang Licheng lost about $14 million by brushing Blur, while the airdrop token in Season 2 was worth about $2 million.

This is not the first time Huang has expressed his dissatisfaction with the Blur platform, and he also reacted in the same way when Blur announced on March 29 this year that it would increase the number of points for swiping. (Although it did not affect its subsequent use.) ）

Similarly, there was negative feedback from the Chinese region about the benefits of this airdrop.

However, not all top users reported losses, @CirrusNFT reported that they received a six-figure airdrop without the loss of brushing.

The release of a new platform could be a game-changer

On October 10, Blur announced the second quarter airdrop on November 20, with an opening price of 0.164 USDT on that day, and then the price of Blur rose all the way, hitting a stage high of 0.471 USDT on November 11, a relative increase of 187%.

After the airdrop was released at 8 o’clock today, Blur began to fluctuate widely, with a maximum amplitude of more than 10% in one hour.

At the same time as announcing the airdrop, Blur founder Pacman announced that he would launch a new project, Blast, which aims to solve Blur’s high gas fees on Ethereum, as well as the problem of Bid fund precipitation. As of 11 a.m., Blur closed at 0.311 USDT, up nearly 90% from when the airdrop was announced.

As the head project of the NFT track, Blur’s platform development and revenue are expected to further improve through Blast’s new paradigm iteration. Blast is scheduled to launch on the mainnet on February 24 next year and develop withdrawals, which is located in the middle of Blur’s Season 3, which may bring major changes in costs and processes, and the local wealth effect of the original Blur airdrop will also change, which still needs to be judged by users.
