Blur To Shut Web Front End Nov. 12 as BLUR Token Falls 33%

Blur will shut down its blur.io web front end on Nov. 12, 2026, and stop matching new loans through its Blend NFT lending service, while its on-chain protocols continue operating.

The shutdown applies to the website interface rather than the underlying marketplace protocols. Blur will continue allowing BLUR token governance to determine whether the protocols charge fees.

Blend borrowers can repay their loans or allow them to default before the deadline. After Nov. 12, Blur plans to provide front-end tools to help users retrieve assets from Blend.

BLUR traded near $0.013 after falling about 33% over 24 hours. Its market value stood near $36.9 million at 10:40 p.m. ET on Oct. 12 (02:40 UTC on Oct. 13).

Blur’s monthly trading volume reached about $1.43 billion in March 2023 but fell below $7 million by March 2026, underscoring the contraction in activity before the planned front-end closure.
