On this episode of Hashing It Out, Pacman, the founder and core contributor of the nonfungible token (NFT) market Blur, joins Elisha Owusu Akyaw to debate how Blur has captured the eye of the NFT market.
The tides within the NFT ecosystem modified in December 2022 when the newly launched NFT market overtook OpenSea as the biggest NFT buying and selling platform by buying and selling quantity. Pacman describes this as an identical scenario to the development of the final token market.
He explains that Blur created a market that places skilled merchants first, a distinct segment not lined by widespread platforms that prioritize a easy consumer expertise to draw newcomers. Based on Pacman, that focus makes Blur the go-to platform for the “highest rising phase” within the NFT house.
The NFT market is driving a wave of newfound recognition, launching a token distributed to the group via an airdrop. Pacman argues that the token was required to offer the group direct entry and possession of the platform.
“This is without doubt one of the issues that basically excited us as builders in Web3 as a result of in Web2, there’s a clear delineation platform and the end-user, and often, they’re considerably opposed. The top-users don’t actually have any management over the platform.“
One other scorching subject within the NFT house is the problem of creator royalties. This has led to a divided strategy by main NFT platforms to make sure creators obtain royalties. The 2 main platforms, OpenSea and Blur, have adopted programs that place new collections able the place they’re required to select one over the opposite. Based on Pacman, Blur is asking creators to dam OpenSea to earn royalties as a short-term resolution that may result in a extra unified strategy sooner or later.
