NFT marketplace OpenSea’s dominance in the NFT ecosystem faces a growing challenge from Blur’s rapid ascent.

A side-by-side comparison of the two NFT marketplaces using Nansen data suggests that while Blur has seen rapid growth in volumes, it is still lacking behind OpenSea in terms of number of sales and interacting wallets.

The platform, which targets pro NFT traders, said it would launch its BLUR governance token on February 14 after months of incentivized airdrops.
