Blur vs OpenSea

On February 17, 2023, Context and Mint.Fun co-founder Worm_emoji, aka Luke Miles tweeted “Can someone have me on a podcast to discuss how Blur used OpenSea's own protocol to defeat them on the royalties / creator fees issue?” I responded to the call, and a couple of hours later, Luke, John Palmer from PartyDAO, Jacob the CEO of Zora, and I got on Twitter Spaces to Blur, OpenSea, and the proxy war being fought over NFT Royalties. This is a fantastic episode that covers a good chunk of Blur’s history, discusses the battle between the two biggest NFT marketplaces on Ethereum, and provides insight into the thought processes of founders at the cutting edge of NFT product strategy and jockeying network effects.
