<p>Blend, short for Blur Lending, <a href="https://crypto.news/blur-launches-blend-a-nft-perpetual-lending-protocol/">launched</a> on May 1 by NFT marketplace Blur, allows borrowers to use their NFTs as collateral to borrow ether. There are no fee charges for borrowers and lenders, while loans do not expire. </p>



<p>Meanwhile, Blend&#8217;s performance since inception has also spurred an increase in Blur&#8217;s total value locked (TVL), which <a href="https://twitter.com/blur_io/status/1661379010507440133?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">peaked</a> at $147.5 million on May 23. According to Blur, NFTs in the Blend protocol contribute to 17% of its TVL. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="blend-to-support-clone-x">Blend to support Clone X</h2>



<p>Blend, which initially supported the NFT collections Azuki, CryptoPunks, and Milady Maker, has extended its portfolio over time to include DeGods, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC).&nbsp;</p>



<p>While most of the NFT collections have seen significant interest, Azuki seems to be the most preferred asset on the Blend protocol, with a whopping 70,031 ETH of loan volume from nearly 6,500 loans. </p>



<p>In addition to the existing NFT collections on Blend, Blur recently <a href="https://twitter.com/blur_io/status/1661764175742517248?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that its lending protocol will soon offer support for Clone X, which comprised 20,000 3D avatars and was launched in 2021. </p>



<p>With Blend soaring in the NFT lending market and dominating the sector, it seems Blur is looking to establish itself as a formidable entity in the NFT space.&nbsp;</p>
