Blur will shut down its frontend on November 12, 2026, and stop matching new loans through its Blend NFT lending protocol on the same date. The onchain marketplace protocol will remain operational, and BLUR will continue to control the protocol's fee switch.
Why it matters
The shutdown separates Blur's user-facing platform from the underlying marketplace protocol. Blend borrowers have until November 12 to repay their loans or allow them to default. Blur said it will later provide a frontend tool for users to withdraw assets from Blend.
Market impact
BLUR fell to 0.01410 USDT after the announcement before recovering to 0.01523 USDT, leaving the token down 16.55% over 24 hours, according to Binance data. The move puts the token's fee-switch role and the continued operation of Blur's onchain protocol in focus as users adjust to the frontend closure.
