The ascent of Blur is now being seen in all fronts. The low-fee, royalty-free marketplace, founded by Web3 developer Pacman and launched in October 2022, has witnessed a remarkable surge in trading volume over the past 30 days.

Following two consecutive months of strong sales, the volume of Ethereum-based NFTs traded in the past week has increased by over 200 percent.

The fast growth in trade volume is the result of a dynamic market in which the startup marketplace Blur has surpassed the market leader OpenSea, creating  $460 million worth of Ethereum NFT with an impressive 360% increase.

Comparatively, Opensea’s volume increased by only 12% to $107 million during the same period.
