POPA ReconBlur’s frontend shutdown and BLUR
Blur plans to retire blur.io on November 12, 2026. Its marketplace protocol will remain operational on-chain, and BLUR will continue to control the protocol’s fee switch, according to Blur’s announcement. The shutdown therefore removes Blur’s official website interface, but does not itself turn off the marketplace contracts or the fee-switch mechanism.
Blend loans
Blend will stop matching new loans on the same date. Borrowers must repay by then or allow their loans to default; Blur says it will provide a frontend tool afterward to help users withdraw assets from Blend, according to Blur’s follow-up. The earlier report of more than 1,000 ETH in recalled loans and possible collateral sales remains a reported concern, not a figure confirmed by Blur’s announcement (Coin Bureau’s report).
What this means for BLUR
Keeping the fee switch under BLUR’s control preserves that governance role, but the announcement does not specify fee income, distributions, or a change to token economics. The loss of the official marketplace interface and the end of new Blend lending leave future usage and the practical value of that role uncertain. As of October 13, the earlier investigation recorded BLUR around $0.0126 to $0.0128, down roughly 32% over 24 hours; that is a dated snapshot, not a current quote.
