Elements
Background on Blur
Controversy and concerns
End of double loyalty points
Departure of big traders
NFT ecosystem braces for impact
As the NFT ecosystem braces for the end of Blur's double loyalty points offer, the future of the platform hangs in the balance. While Blur has made waves in the NFT world and attracted pro-traders with its aggressive reward system, this strategy could ultimately backfire. The platform's reliance on a few major traders to drive trading volume and maintain floor prices has raised concerns about its sustainability. If Blur fails to adapt and implement a more inclusive, community-driven approach, it may struggle to maintain its dominant position and risk destabilizing the NFT market as a whole.
