Comprehensive evaluation of the token
BLUR represents the governance token of the Blur NFT marketplace. A significant data gap exists in Active Development (-1.0), as search results retrieved unrelated projects, requiring its 20% weighting to be redistributed across the remaining sections. The project demonstrates strong governance mechanics and a recognized founding team under Tieshun Roquerre (Team and Governance: 7.0/10) with verified audits from Dedaub and no history of security exploits or legal actions (Security: 4.5/10). However, overall performance is weighed down by a deeply contracted broader NFT market (Market and Use Case: 4.5/10), governance-only token utility lacking fee-capture mechanisms (Tokenomics: 4.5/10), and declining governance engagement (Community Support: 3.0/10). No qualifying red-flag event occurred, so the overall score reflects the proportionally adjusted weighted average of the available sections.

About Blur (BLUR)
BLUR is the native ERC-20 governance and incentives token for Blur, an NFT marketplace and liquidity aggregator on the Ethereum blockchain. Co-founded by Tieshun Roquerre and Anthony Liu, the platform is designed for professional NFT traders, providing tooling for batch trading and liquidity aggregation across digital asset markets.
The token has a fixed genesis supply of 3 billion BLUR with no ongoing inflation mechanism. The initial distribution allocated 51% of tokens to the community and 48% to core contributors and investors under a vesting schedule concluding in February 2027. BLUR functions primarily as a governance mechanism within the Blur Foundation DAO, which manages treasury allocations and protocol fee settings via on-chain voting parameters, including a 30 million BLUR proposal threshold and a 120 million BLUR quorum. In January 2023, security firm Dedaub performed an audit of the protocol's delta smart contracts.
The token and marketplace face headwinds stemming from a broader contraction in NFT trading volumes. BLUR has experienced a severe price decline of approximately 98% to 99% from its all-time high. Additionally, the token provides governance utility without native fee-capture, token burning, or staking features, which has constrained organic demand. DAO governance and community engagement have also decelerated, characterized by a lack of frequent proposal submissions following late 2024.
