A newly arrived NFT marketplace, Blur announced a long-awaited airdrop of $BLUR tokens to reward Ethereum NFT traders. From Feb 14, users can open their Care Packages, a granted locked package to users, to claim tokens’ allotment. The airdrop will be open for the next 60 days.
Blur was launched last year, in October with the commitment of token rewards for their users. Blur strives to compete with the giant NFT marketplace on Ethereum, Opensea. By dropping 360M BLUR tokens, the marketplace is jumping on the journey of decentralisation as these tokens will give governance power to the community.
As per the data present on the website, the tokens will be distributed across the community, advisors, investors, and contributors for respectively 51%, 1.2%, 18.8%, and 29%.
To consider different users and traders, Blur has decided to drop token allotment into three different waves.
In the Airdrop 1, the token allotment will be offered to qualified Ethereum NFT traders. The trader must have a 6-months trading history in the competing marketplace before Blur was rolled out.

Airdrop 2 is applied to users who listed their NFTs through November. Airdrop 3 and last wave would consider traders who bid on NFTs through Blur.
At the time of writing, nearly 87% $BLUR tokens have been claimed, which is quite impressive. It shows the potential of the marketplace to give tough competition to Opeansea.
However, the users have seen a long haul for $BLUR tokens’ airdrop. Earlier, the airdrop was planned to launch in January, but afterward, it was canceled and postponed.
