NFT Marketplace Blur Is Retiring Blur.io on Nov. 12, Keeping Its Contracts Live Onchain
- Published
Blur will stop running its blur.io website on Nov. 12, 2026, while the marketplace protocol stays live on-chain and the BLUR token keeps control of the fee switch. The same date also marks the end of new loan matching on Blend, Blur’s lending platform, with borrowers given until then to repay.
Key claims & sources
What it means
Users who access Blur through the website will notice the frontend change on Nov. 12, 2026, while the on-chain marketplace itself stays live. Holders of BLUR will still see the token linked to the fee switch after that date.
In practice, the blur.io interface will no longer be the active entry point, but the marketplace protocol will continue on-chain. For Blend, new loans will no longer be matched after the same date, while existing borrowers still have until then to repay.
