That's where this guide comes in.
In this comprehensive guide, I'll cover everything you need to know about airdrop farming so you can get maximize your gains and highlight some of the best airdrops happening after BLUR Season 1.
Before diving into the upcoming airdrops, let’s talk a bit about the Blur season 1 airdrop.
What is Blur?
Launched on October 19, 2022, Blur is an NFT marketplace and aggregator. Users can compare NFTs across marketplaces, manage portfolios with advanced analytics, as well as buy NFTs. The VC-backed digital marketplace stated that users can sweep and snipe NFTs faster than on other platforms, and is 10x faster than the aggregator Gem.
What is $BLUR token?
The $BLUR token serves as the native currency for the Blur NFT marketplace. It will play a crucial role as the governance token, allowing the platform to progress toward decentralization. Blur is also innovating in the way it addresses royalties by incentivizing users who support creator royalties with a higher allocation of the $BLUR token as a reward
Blur Season 1 Airdrop
Blur season 1 consisted of 3 stages of airdrops.
Airdrop 1 Care Packages were rewarded to those who had traded NFTs 6 months prior to the airdrop
Airdrop 2 was rewarded to those who listed an NFT on the Blur platform through November 2022.
Here were some of the ways in which you could have maximized your Blur token for airdrop 2:
Listing more NFTs
listing blue chips
listing more active collections
using all of Blur’s listing tools e.g. listing by floor price, trait floor price, and ladder list
avoid “gaming” the system, e.g. by relisting NFTs at unrealistic prices, listing dead collections
listing on other NFT marketplaces via Blur; and
placing a minimum of 3 sweeps on Blur before Airdrop 2
Those who participated in Blur’s Airdrop 2 collectively received 10x $BLUR tokens than Airdrop 1 participants.
Airdrop 3, was rewarded to traders who placed bids on the Blur platform with Care Packages containing $BLUR tokens. It was the largest and last reward of Season 1, ending on 14th February 2023. This airdrop distributed around 1-2x more Blur tokens to participants than the previous airdrops.
Blur Royalties updates:
Blur published a blog post explaining the differences in royalty payment options between their platform and OpenSea for NFT creators. Blur initially had a royalty-optional model but has since expanded to enforce a minimum royalty fee of 0.5%. To collect full royalties on the Blur platform, creators must blocklist OpenSea, which requires full royalties for new projects and restricts sales on secondary marketplaces that don't honor royalties
Blur season 2 airdrop
Blur season 1 airdrop is now over, what’s next?
Well, there’s Blur season 2 airdrop. This second one will reward the most active users on the platform. It is mentioned on the website that all bidding and listing points are doubled until 04/01. The higher the volume, the higher the rarity of the care package received. The requirements and amounts for the season 2 airdrop haven’t been disclosed yet.
How to maximize your Blur season 2 airdrop?
According to Blur, here are some ways in which you can get more points and maximize the amount of airdropped $BLUR tokens:
Bid as closest to the floor price across multiple active collections
Bid with as much liquidity as possible
The longer your bid is active, the more points you will receive. You stop earning points when your bid is accepted
The top 100 bidders within a 24-hour time period in Blur’s 24-hour leaderboard can be granted different boosts of up to 2.5x.
Within a collection, the highest “risk” bids will earn the majority of points. For example, if you look at the fp here, it’s 5.376, the bids 5.36-5.37 are the wall, which means, if you bid 5.36-5.37, you’re gonna get the max bid points.
Risk Management: if you bid around the max bid points range (5.36-5.37), the chances of it being accepted are pretty high, unless you really want to buy that NFT, you should not be bidding around that range. But if you bid around 5.34-5.35 range, the chances of getting your bids accepted are pretty low, and that way you’re still getting your bidding points.
Important points to keep in mind:
Routinely check the fp of the projects you’re bidding on to make sure you’re bidding close to fp and earning the max bidding points.
List your NFTs that you’re not planning to sell a bit higher than fp (higher to the point it won’t sell, but not too high) to earn listing points
To boost your loyalty score on Blur, you can list your NFTs on OpenSea as well as Blur, but at a higher price.
The longer the bid stays the more point you earn, the bid acceptance time has now been updated to 1 hour, so remember to check on your bid
If the fp goes down than the previous fp makes sure to lower your bid accordingly or you can just your bid
Avoid bidding on NFT collections that have just been minted out or pumped as the fp tends to be volatile for those and you might accidentally end up buying an NFT you didn’t want to acquire.
That’s all for the Blur season 1 and farming season 2 folks, let’s checkout the other upcoming airdrops that you should be paying attention to.
