Major nonfungible token (NFT) marketplace OpenSea announced three major changes to win back its migrating customers. including a zero percent fee for a limited time, introducing optional creator earnings, and leniency on other operators.
On Feb. 18, NFT marketplace Blur surpassed OpenSea in daily Ether trading volume as users anticipated greater returns on their NFT investments with Blur.
OpenSea admitted losing users to other “NFT marketplaces that don’t fully enforce creator earnings.,
The new measures by Opensea are meant to revitalize its dominance in the space, adding:
According to OpenSea, Blur’s decision to roll back creator earnings and the false choice it is forcing creators to make between liquidity on Blur or OpenSea, prove that their (Opensea’s) attempts are not working.
While reiterating its support for Operator Filter, a feature designed to assist artists in securing their income for the resale of their work, OpenSea feels that it successfully defended creator incomes on all collections. Yet, this filter deliberately disallowed marketplace recommendations that had the same policies.
Blur's new royalty policy, which highlights the variations in royalty payment alternatives between its platform and OpenSea, can be credited with the company's dominance in daily trading volume.
