More →Blur is shutting down its website, so why are NFT collectors cheering?
Blur’s planned website closure revived criticism of the royalty policies and token rewards that helped it overtake OpenSea during the NFT boom, but hurt creators. Nonfungible token marketplace Blur, which once overtook OpenSea as the largest NFT marketplace by trading volume, says it is shutting down its website next month — and some NFT collectors couldn’t be happier. Blur <a href="https://x.com/blur_io/status/2109735810857861203?s=20" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">>made</a> the announcement on X on Monday, its first post on the platform in more than a year. It said the frontend will shut down on Nov. 12, while its onchain marketplace will remain operational. Blend, a peer-to-peer perpetual NFT lending protocol, will also stop matching new loans. Blur said borrowers have until Nov. 12 to repay outstanding loans or allow them to default. It also promised a withdrawal interface after the shutdown. “Good riddance. You destroyed NFTs. Please shut down and never come back,” said NFT collector Cryptobscure in a reply to the post on X. “You may not have been able to complete your mission to destroy NFTs. But you acted with extreme determination and tried everything. Congratulations to us for surviving you,” NFT collector starfruit said in another post. The post renewed criticism of the strategy that helped Blur reach the top of the NFT charts in 2023: optional creator royalties and token rewards that encouraged traders to bid and flip NFTs. Its rise accelerated a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/nft-creator-giant-swan-gothic-vr-dreamscapes-royalty-nightmare-opensea" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span>shift toward lower creator royalties</span></a>, with rival OpenSea later moving to <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/opensea-disable-on-chain-royalty-enforcement-tool" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span>optional creator fees</span></a> for new collections. Blur launched on Oct. 19, 2022, allowing sellers to customize royalty payments while offering larger prospective token rewards to those who paid higher creator royalties. But it entered a market where royalty protections were already weakening: competing marketplace Magic Eden had moved to optional royalties the previous week. By July of the following year, blockchain analytics platform Nansen reported that <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/trader-baits-bot-july-nft-volume-drops-nifty-news" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span>effective creator royalty fees fell</span></a> to 0.6% in July 2023 from an average of 2.5% in 2022, attributing much of that gap to Blur’s growth, its minimum royalty policy and OpenSea lowering its own royalty requirements to compete. Blur didn’t disclose why it made the decision to shutter its frontend and wind down new lending activity on Blend. <em><strong>Related: </strong></em><a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/magic-eden-nft-whitehat-vulnerability" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span><em><strong>Magic Eden scare puts 3,
BiggerZ Crypto Casino Launches 100% RTP Originals With 0% House Edge
<strong>[PRESS RELEASE – San Rafael de Escazú, Costa Rica, October 12th, 2026]</strong> Can a crypto casino offer big-multiplier potential without taking the traditional house cut? <a href="https://www.biggerz.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">>BiggerZ</a> has introduced 100% RTP Originals, combining a theoretical 0% house edge with transparent game rules and verifiable results. <strong>100% RTP Crypto Casino Games: How a 0% House Edge Works</strong> Return to player (RTP) describes the theoretical share of wagers returned over a very large number of rounds. A 99% RTP game implies a 1% house edge; 100% RTP means no theoretical house edge on eligible play. In practice, $1,000 in total wagering at 99% RTP implies $10 in expected loss; at 100%, it falls to zero. Individual sessions still vary: players can lose their stake or finish ahead. <strong>BiggerZ 100% RTP Originals: Mines, Dice, Plinko, Hi-Lo and Keno</strong> The <a href="https://www.biggerz.com/games/biggerz-touch" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">>BiggerZ Touch</a> lobby displays 100% RTP badges on selected Originals, including Mines, Dice, Plinko, Hi-Lo and Keno. Not every BiggerZ Touch title has the same return: the lobby also displays 99% RTP on certain games. 100% RTP applies up to a $50,000 qualifying wagering threshold, after which it shifts to 99%. <strong>Can You Win Big on 100% RTP Originals? Multipliers and Risk</strong> Games such as Plinko and Limbo keep their multiplier outcomes, where a less likely result pays several times the wager. A 0% house edge does not guarantee a win or make high multipliers more likely. It changes the operator’s theoretical margin, not the volatility of each round. <strong>100% RTP Originals vs High-RTP Slots: What Is the Difference?</strong> Third-party <a href="https://www.biggerz.com/games/slots" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">>online slots</a> keep their own published RTP, volatility and bonus mechanics. A slot at 96% RTP carries a 4% theoretical house edge, versus zero on an eligible 100% RTP Original. The comparison concerns long-run mathematics, not which game will deliver the next big payout. <strong>Provably Fair Crypto Casino Games: Verify BiggerZ Touch Results</strong> Eligible BiggerZ Touch outcomes include a provably fair layer, allowing players to check each result independently. BiggerZ also publishes Live RTP across 10-minute, one-hour and 24-hour windows, showing recent payout activity, which does not predict the next result. <strong>Where to Play 100% RTP Originals on BiggerZ Crypto Casino</strong> Players can open BiggerZ Touch, select a game showing a 100% RTP badge and check its rules, limits and verification tools before placing a wager. The offer does not apply to slots, live casino, sports bets or prediction markets.

ETH liquidation pressure: watch $2,485.3 to the downside and $2,816.25 to the upside.
CoinWorld data: ETH is currently priced at approximately $2,497.79.
