Blur is not announcing a full shutdown for November 12, 2026. The official account says only the blur.io frontend will be deprecated; the Blur marketplace protocol will remain operational on-chain, and BLUR will continue to control its fee switch (Blur announcement).

What changes on November 12

Blend will stop matching new loans. Borrowers have until then to repay or allow their loans to default; Blur says it will provide a frontend tool afterward to help users withdraw assets from Blend (Blend announcement).

Why some posts say Blur is closing

That wording overstates the announcement: the post being quoted says the frontend is being deprecated, while the protocol remains operational (quoted post). Blur also warns users to beware of impersonators and fraudulent announcements (official account warning).

The official account’s posts state that the frontend will be deprecated on November 12, 2026, while the marketplace protocol stays operational on-chain and BLUR retains control of its fee switch. I’m verifying the full thread, the quoted post, and whether any separate reporting adds context or contradicts that distinction.
The prior results establish the official statement: Blur.io’s frontend is deprecated November 12, 2026; the marketplace protocol remains operational on-chain and BLUR retains control of its fee switch. They also say Blend will stop matching new loans then, so the answer should distinguish those changes from a full shutdown.
The official Blur thread directly resolves whether this is a full shutdown and also clarifies the separate Blend change.
