<p class="has-drop-cap">On Monday, May 1st, the NFT platform Blur <a href="https://twitter.com/blur_io/status/1653051809240604674" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">introduced</a> its new lending protocol—Blend. The protocol will allow investors that would otherwise be priced out to enter the non-fungible token market by placing smaller down payments when wishing to acquire blue-chip assets and has been likened to the way houses are often purchased.</p>

<h3 id="blur-unveils-its-new-nft-lending-protocol">Blur Unveils Its New NFT Lending Protocol</h3> 
<p>This Monday, Blur unveiled its new NFT lending protocol—<a href="https://www.paradigm.xyz/2023/05/blend" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">Blend</a>. The peer-to-peer protocol connects lenders and borrowers and enables them to specify the terms such as the interest rate, and acceptable collateral. The loans offered through Blend are perpetual, have a fixed rate, and enable the borrower to pay the debt at any point.</p> 
<p>Lenders can also exit a position by kickstarting a “Duch auction” which ends either with a new lender stepping in, or, if that does not happen, with the borrower getting liquidated. Paradigm’s Dan Robinson—Blur’s key partner when it comes to the protocol—<a href="https://twitter.com/danrobinson/status/1653052269552889856" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">described</a> Blend as “a simple but flexible protocol” and highlighted its ability to accept any collateral type.</p> 
<p>In its announcement, Blur likened its new protocol to acquiring a house using a down payment and paying the rest through a mortgage. According to the marketplace, Blend will significantly help with liquidity and “will jump-start the next stage of growth for the NFT market.”&nbsp;</p>

<h3 id="blur-s-rapid-rise-to-prominence">Blur’s Rapid Rise to Prominence</h3> 
<p>Blur initially came to the scene in late 2022 and immediately positioned itself as an NFT marketplace built for professional investors. The marketplace, however, skyrocketed in popularity in February of this year after <a href="https://tokenist.com/opensea-challenger-launches-its-long-awaited-native-blur-token/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">launching its long-awaited token</a>—BLUR. The launch was aimed at helping the marketplace’s users benefit from the platform’s success through community ownership and at boosting the traders’ ability to participate in its governance protocol.</p> 
<p>By the beginning of March, Blur garnered much popularity and even <a href="https://tokenist.com/blur-tops-opensea-in-volume-but-42-of-transactions-linked-to-wash-trading/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">managed to overtake OpenSea</a> in trading volume. The data was, however, somewhat controversial as, at the time, about 42% of all transactions on the platform were allegedly connected to wash trading. Blur’s rapid rise is also noteworthy for coinciding with a broader resurgence for non-fungible tokens.</p> 
<p>Already in late 2022, NFT aggregators—platforms aimed at enabling easy access to the many non-fungible token marketplaces spread across multiple blockchains—rose to prominence <a href="https://tokenist.com/are-aggregators-the-next-big-thing-for-nfts-trading-volume-hits-1-9b-in-2022/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">reaching a trading volume of nearly $2 billion</a>. The interest in NFTs was also reignited by the emergence and proliferation of <a href="https://rodarmor.com/blog/ordinal-theory/" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">Bitcoin Ordinals</a>.</p>
