Blur Review
Zero marketplace fees, thin public documentation
of 10
Blur advertises 0% marketplace fees on its homepage. Beyond that headline, its royalty policy, chain coverage, contract licence and audit record could not be confirmed from a fetched official page.

Scores
Each criterion carries equal weight. The overall score is the average of these 5 scores — (6.0 + 2.0 + 2.0 + 2.0 + 2.0) ÷ 5 = 2.8.
Pros
- States 0% marketplace fees on the homepage
- A trader-focused marketplace built around zero trading fees
Cons
- The royalty policy could not be confirmed from a fetched official page
- No contract licence or named audit could be verified
- No chain list is stated on the fetched homepage
- Most detail exists only on third-party or blog sources we did not treat as primary
What could be verified, and what could not
Blur's homepage states 0% marketplace fees, and that is the one fact we could confirm from a fetched official page. It is a genuine draw for active traders, and the fee-transparency score reflects that the headline number is published.
The rest is undocumented on primary pages
Blur's royalty policy — which appeared in search results as an optional 0.5% model on a company blog — could not be confirmed on a page we fetched, so we do not report it as verified. The chain coverage, a contract licence and any audit record likewise could not be read from an official primary source.
This entry sits low not on a negative finding but on the thinness of Blur's public documentation relative to peers. If Blur publishes these facts where we did not reach, the review will be completed against the source; the pages we used are listed below.
Who builds it
Blur is governed through the Blur Foundation, which its documentation says facilitates community-led governance of the Blur DAO via the BLUR token; the founding team presents pseudonymously, known publicly only as "Pacman" and "Galaga," with no legal entity named on its own site. The marketplace launched in 2022. A pseudonymous founding team paired with a formal foundation and DAO is the disclosure picture for one of the most-used professional NFT venues.
