OpenSea vs Blur: Tracking The NFT Marketplace War 

What Is Blur? Features and Tokenomics

CoinMarketCap News, Feb 23: Sam Bankman-Fried's Bail is Hanging in the Balance

## Blur (BLUR) क्या है?

Blur का नेटिव [गवर्नेंस टोकन](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/governance-token) है BLUR, जो एक यूनीक [नॉन-फंजिबल टोकन (NFT)](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/non-fungible-token) मार्केटप्लेस और एग्रीगेटर प्लेटफॉर्म है जो रियल टाइम में प्राइस फीड, पोर्टफोलियो मैनेजमेंट और मल्टी-मार्केटप्लेस एनएफटी NFT जैसी एडवांस सुविधाएं प्रदान करता है। यह अन्य तुलनीय प्लेटफार्मों की अपेक्षा अधिक तेज NFT स्वीप और ऐसा इंटरफेस होने का दावा करता है जो आसानी से समझ आ जाता है।

नतीजतन, कई प्रोफेशनल NFT ट्रेडर्स तेजी से अपनी ट्रेडिंग गतिविधियों के लिए Blur का उपयोग करना पसंद कर रहे हैं — हालांकि यह 360 मिलियन BLUR टोकनों के हालिया एयरड्रॉप जैसे प्रोत्साहनों की वजह से भी हो सकता है — जिनका मूल्य ये पंक्तियां लिखे जाने तक लगभग $355M बनता है। यह एक [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/currencies/ethereum/)-आधारित मंच है जिसने विश्व स्तर पर निवेशकों और ट्रेडर्स से $14m जुटाए हैं, जिनमें Paradigm, 6529, Cozomo Medici, dhof, Bharat Krymo, Zeneca, OSF, MoonOverlord, icebergy, Deeze, Andy8052, Keyboard Monkey और कई अन्य शामिल हैं।

अक्टूबर 2022 में लॉन्च होने के बाद BLUR सुर्खियों में तब आया, जब उसने टॉप प्लेटफॉर्म यूजर्स को BLUR टोकनों के एयरड्रॉप का वादा किया।

### Blur (BLUR) के संस्थापक कौन हैं?

Blur के संस्थापक और डेवलपर केवल छद्म नामों के माध्यम से सक्रिय हैं। संस्थापक को पैकमैन, एक Web3 डेवलपर, के रूप में जाना जाता है। ZenAcademy और The 333 Club की संस्थापक ज़ेनेका ने Blur Foundation (ब्लर फाउंडेशन) के डायरेक्टर की भूमिका निभाई।

Blur के अनुसार, टीम के पास MIT, Citadel, Five Rings Capital, Twitch, Brex, Square और Y Combinator का अनुभव है।

### BLUR एयरड्रॉप क्या था?

Blur एयरड्रॉप्स की सिरीज ने केयर पैकेज के रूप में BLUR टोकन तक एक्सेस प्रदान कर दी। केयर पैकेज में रेयरिटी के चार स्तर हैं और अक्टूबर 2022 में आधिकारिक Blur लॉन्च से छह महीने पहले बीटा परीक्षण के साथ सक्रिय यूजर्स को वितरित किए गए थे। दूसरा एयरड्रॉप नवंबर 2022 तक मार्केटप्लेस पर सक्रिय रूप से सूचीबद्ध होने वाले ट्रेडर्स के लिए था, जबकि तीसरा ड्रॉप उन ट्रेडर्स को आवंटित किया गया था जिन्होंने 14 फरवरी, 2023 तक Blur पर बोली लगाई थी।

फरवरी 2023 एयरड्रॉप एक विशाल वैश्विक इवेंट था, जिसमें BLUR की कीमत 24 घंटों के भीतर $1 से नीचे गिरने से पहले $5 से अधिक हो गई, क्योंकि कई प्राप्तकर्ताओं ने तुरंत बेच दिया था।

### ब्लर (BLUR) के बारे में क्या सबसे अलग बात है?

Blur को विशेष रूप से उन क्षेत्रों में उत्कृष्टता प्राप्त करने के लिए डिजाइन किया गया है जहां अन्य प्लेटफॉर्म कम पड़ जाते हैं, विशेष रूप से काफी चर्चित [NFT क्रिएटर रॉयल्टी कैटेगरी](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/the-ultimate-guide-to-nft-royalties-and-nft-marketplaces) में। यह क्रिएटिव को सपोर्ट करता है उनको प्रदान करके, जो प्रोत्साहन के रूप में अतिरिक्त BLUR टोकन के साथ रॉयल्टी का भुगतान करते हैं और क्रिएटर्स व ट्रेडर्स के बीच उचित संतुलन बनाने का प्रयास करते हैं।

यह OpenSea की तरह सेकेंडरी मार्केट क्रिएटर रॉयल्टी का पूरी तरह से सपोर्ट नहीं करता है। हालांकि, फरवरी 2023 में एक दुस्साहसी निर्णय में, इसने घोषणा की कि OpenSea पर बिक्री को ब्लॉक करने वाला कोई भी कलेक्शन Blur पर अपनी पूरी रॉयल्टी फीस प्राप्त कर सकता है।

प्रोफेशनल ट्रेडर्स के अनुरूप होने के बावजूद, NFT मार्केट में नए लोग भी Blur के विभिन्न फीचर्स से लाभ उठा सकते हैं, जिसमें प्लेटफॉर्म का उपयोग करने के तरीके सीखने की सुविधा भी शामिल है।

Blur अपने ऐसे कई फीचर्स के चलते अन्य NFT मार्केटप्लेस से अलग नजर आता है जो बेहतर NFT ट्रेडिंग अनुभवों को सपोर्ट करते हैं जो मुनाफे को अपने अनुरूप कर पाने में ट्रेडर्स की मदद कर सकते हैं। इसमें कथित तौर पर तेज NFT स्वीप और स्नाइप फंक्शन, रियल-टाइम प्राइस फीड और प्राइस के अनुसार सॉर्टिंग फंक्शन है। एक एग्रीगेटर के रूप में, यह [X2Y2](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/currencies/x2y2/), [OpenSea](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/opensea-now-has-a-valuation-of-13-3-billion) और [LooksRare](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/currencies/looksrare/) (LOOK) से कनेक्ट होता है।

उल्लेखनीय है कि, इस प्लेटफॉर्म में NFT बिक्री के लिए कोई ट्रेडिंग फीस नहीं है, और ट्रेडर्स Blur के पोर्टफोलियो टैब के माध्यम से अपने डिजिटल एसेट्स देख सकते हैं, जो रेयरिटी, वैल्यू, लाभ और हानि, और बहुत कुछ के बारे में जानकारी प्रदान करता है।

### कितने Blur (BLUR) कॉइन सर्कुलेशन में हैं?

वर्तमान में, सर्कुलेशन में BLUR टोकनों की कुल संख्या 360 मिलियन है, जिसमें अधिकतम 3 बिलियन की सप्लाई अंतिम रिलीज के लिए निर्धारित है।

### Blur नेटवर्क कैसे सुरक्षित है?

BLUR [ERC-20 टोकन](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20)के रूप में Ethereum ब्लॉकचेन पर काम करता है, जिसे [प्रूफ-ऑफ-स्टेक](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-stake-pos) के माध्यम से सुरक्षित किया जाता है — जो 2022 के मर्ज इवेंट के बाद Ethereum नेटवर्क का [आम सहमति तंत्र](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus-mechanism) है। इस तंत्र या मैकेनिज्म द्वारा ट्रांजेक्शन की पुष्टि करने के लिए वैलिडेटर का उपयोग किया जाता है, और वैलिडेटर्स आम सहमति एवं ट्रांजेक्शन को वैलिडेट करने में भाग लेने के लिए 32 ETH [स्टेक](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/staking) करते हैं।

Optimism (OP) is a layer-two blockchain on top of Ethereum. Optimism benefits from the security of the Ethereum mainnet and helps scale the Ethereum ecosystem by using optimistic rollups. That means transactions are trustlessly recorded on Optimism but ultimately secured on Ethereum.

Optimism is one of the biggest scaling solutions for Ethereum with over $500 million in TVL. It is home to 97 protocols, the biggest being Synthetix (SNX), a derivatives exchange, Uniswap (UNI), a DEX, and Velodrome (VELO), an AMM. Users can begin their journey on Optimism by adding the chain on their Metamask and bridging tokens like ETH to the L2. On May 31, 2022, Optimism conducted a highly anticipated airdrop of its OP token.

Optimism

Arbitrum is an Ethereum layer-two (L2) scaling solution. It uses optimistic rollups to achieve its goal of improving speed, scalability and cost-efficiency on Ethereum. Arbitrum benefits from the security and compatibility of Ethereum. Another benefit is the higher throughput and lower fees compared to Ethereum. That is made possible thanks to moving most of the computation and storage load off-chain.

Arbitrum’s native token is called ARB and is used for governance. Offchain Labs, the developers behind Arbitrum, announced the shift to a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) structure — the Arbitrum DAO. ARB holders can vote on proposals that affect the features, protocol upgrades, funds allocation and election of a Security Council.

Arbitrum has an ambitious roadmap for 2023, which includes: Launching its own layer-three solution called Orbit; Enabling developers to deploy programs written in popular programming languages like Rust, C++, and more using Stylus; Expanding its validator set to include more independent institutional validators; Moving its protocol to layer two with Arbitrum One.

On March 16, 2023,  Arbitrum announced their highly anticipated airdrop of ARB. The token will be airdropped to early users and DAOs building on Arbitrum, with 12.75% of the total supply to be distributed. Recipients were rewarded on a point-based system depending on their interaction with the Arbitrum network until a cutoff date of March 1, 2023. The token generation event is on March 23, 2023.

Sui is a groundbreaking layer-1 blockchain platform designed to support the needs of global adoption by offering a secure, powerful, and scalable development platform. At its core, Sui leverages a novel object-centric data model and the secure Move programming language to address inefficiencies prevalent in existing blockchain architectures.

On top of strong technical foundations, Sui prioritizes user experience by eliminating barriers commonly associated with blockchain interactions. Through innovations like zkLogin, sponsored transactions, and programmable transaction blocks, Sui creates a higher standard for user experience within Web3 by ensuring applications are accessible and user-friendly.

Aptos is a Layer 1 Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain that employs a novel smart contract programming language called Move, a Rust-based programming language that was independently developed by Meta (formerly Facebook)’s Diem blockchain engineers.

Aptos’s vision is a blockchain that brings mainstream adoption to web3 and empowers an ecosystem of DApps to solve real-world user problems.

The PoS blockchain can achieve a theoretical transaction throughput of over 150,000 transactions per second (tps) through parallel execution.

In March 2022, Aptos raised $200 million in a seed round led by the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Other crypto heavyweights like Tiger Global and Multicoin Capital took part in the funding round. Fast forward to July, the startup raised another $200 million in a Series A round with participation from Dragonfly, Apollo Global, Franklin Templeton, Animoca, Jump Crypto and others.

Two months later, Binance Labs made a strategic investment of an undisclosed amount in Aptos.

On Oct. 18, 2022, Aptos announced the mainnet launch, while the Aptos genesis occurred on Oct. 12, 2022.

Lido DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) which provides staking infrastructure for multiple blockchain networks.

Most notably, the platform provides a liquid staking solution for Ethereum, allowing users to stake their ETH and receive stETH (Lido staked ETH) tokens in exchange, which represent the user's staked ETH and staking rewards.

Lido DAO is secured by a mix of decentralized governance, audited code and smart contracts. The Lido protocol runs on Ethereum with help from smart contracts that process user deposits and distribute staking rewards, among other functions. Several third-party security firms have audited Lido’s smart contracts in order to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

The platform’s native token is LDO - which also serves as the governance token for Lido DAO. Holders can participate in governance proposals and vote on key decisions such as board adjustments, new integrations and platform updates. LDO holders have the right to determine the development and operation of the platform.

Lido currently supports staking for Ethereum and Polygon only with the recent sunsetting of Solana.

Immutable positions itself as the first layer-two scaling solution for NFTs on Ethereum. According to Immutable, its blockchain does away with Ethereum’s limitations like low scalability, a poor user experience, illiquidity, and a slow developer experience. Instead, users benefit from instant trading and massive scalability while enjoying zero gas fees for minting and trading NFTs without compromising user or asset security.

Thanks to this technology, users will be able to create and distribute assets like ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens on a massive scale. Chris Clay, the game Director of Gods Unchained, a project already building on Immutable, stated that Immutable allows Gods Unchained to implement a new meta-system that was previously impossible. In this fashion, Immutable aims to create a world-class experience for users and developers alike.

Ethereum-based DYDX ($ethDYDX) is a governance token that allows the dYdX community to truly govern the dYdX Layer 2 Protocol built on Ethereum ("dYdX v3"). ethDYDX is currently undergoing a migration from Ethereum to the dYdX Chain. More information is available here. If you want to migrate ethDYDX to dYdX Chain DYDX, to enable staking, security and governance of the dYdX Chain you can follow the how-to-bridge guide here.

If you want to read about the new token utility for dYdX Chain DYDX you can read the blog here

ethDYDX (dYdX) is the governance token for the layer 2 protocol built on Ethereum. By enabling shared control of dYdX v3, ethDYDX allows traders, liquidity providers, and partners of dYdX to work collectively towards an enhanced dYdX v3.

Built on StarkWare’s StarkEx scalability engine, layer 2 is used for trading of cross-margined perpetuals on the platform. The scaling solution allows dYdX to increase transaction speed, eliminate gas costs, reduce trading fees and lower​​ minimum trade sizes on the protocol.

A total of 1,000,000,000 ethDYDX have been minted, and started to become accessible over five (5) years, on August 3rd, 2021, at 15:00:00 UTC.

Jito Network is a major contributor to the Solana ecosystem through its JitoSOL liquid staking pool, and its collection of MEV products.

Users can exchange their SOL for JitoSOL. In return, holders maintain SOL’s liquidity and DeFi opportunities while earning yield from staking. JitoSOL uniquely provides its holders with additional rewards from transaction revenue associated with MEV extraction on Solana.

Maximum extractable value (MEV) describes profit opportunities attributable to the specific order of transaction execution. For example, a large swap on Orca can lower the pool’s price below that of Raydium or Serum. Traders will race to profit from that price difference and this arbitrage is considered MEV.

The Jito Foundation was created to minimize the negative impacts of MEV, equitably distribute the profits and increase transparency. Jito published an open source validator client designed to create a competitive market for MEV extraction. The client enables auctions within each block for the opportunity to capture that block’s MEV. Traders submit bids, and the highest bidders within each block can harvest available MEV.

Injective is a blockchain built for finance. It is an open, interoperable layer-one blockchain powering next-generation DeFi applications, including decentralized spot and derivatives exchanges, prediction markets, lending protocols and more.

Injective uniquely provides powerful core financial infrastructure primitives that applications can leverage, including a fully decentralized MEV-resistant on-chain orderbook. In addition, all forms of financial markets such as spot, perpetual, futures and options are fully on-chain. The decentralized cross-chain bridging infrastructure is compatible with Ethereum, IBC-enabled blockchains, and non EVM chains such as Solana.

Injective also provides a next-generation, highly interoperable smart contract platform based on CosmWasm, with advanced interchain capabilities. Injective is custom built with the Cosmos SDK and utilizes Tendermint-based Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, providing instant transaction finality with the ability to sustain lightning-fast performance (10,000+ TPS).

The Injective ecosystem includes 100+ projects and over 150,000 community members globally. Injective is backed by a group of prominent investors such as Binance, Pantera Capital, Jump Crypto and Mark Cuban.

Injective’s core exchange module provides state-of-the-art capabilities including an advanced on-chain order book and matching engine for spot, perpetual, futures and options markets, resistance to Miner-Extractable Value (MEV) through frequent batch auction order matching, and zero gas fees for users.

Injective natively uses IBC and is highly-interoperable with multiple layer 1s, including, but not limited to, Polygon and Solana (through an upcoming Wormhole integration). It is also uniquely built to be interoperable with Ethereum, through its own decentralized ERC-20 token bridge, making Injective the first network within the Cosmos ecosystem to natively support Ethereum assets.

Smart contracts are implemented on Injective through CosmWasm, allowing for multi-chain smart contract transactions to occur seamlessly. Injective, however, is the only blockchain that enables automatic smart contract execution. This capability serves as a powerful building block for developers to create novel use cases that would not be possible on any other chain.

The use cases intended for INJ include but are not limited to: protocol governance, dApp value capture, Proof-of-Stake (PoS) security, developer incentives and staking. Further details regarding each of these use cases can be found below:

Protocol Governance: The INJ token governs every single component of Injective, including chain upgrades. Since its mainnet launch, the Injective community has actively contributed to governance, with all proposals passing through a DAO governance vote. The comprehensive governance page is available here.

Protocol Fee Value Capture: 60% of all fees generated from dApps enter an on-chain buy-back-and-burn auction to maintain the deflationary nature of INJ. The burn auction page is available here.

Tendermint-based Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Security: INJ is used to secure the Injective blockchain using a proof-of-stake mechanism. Validators and delegators can both participate in staking.

Developer Incentives: 40% of fees generated by users on dApps built on Injective go directly towards incentivizing new developers building on Injective which brings an ever growing funnel of builders to Injective.
