Blur, an emerging marketplace for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), has been making waves in the digital world.
The Ongoing Standoff between Blur and OpenSea
However, until recently, one of its co-founders remained anonymous. Pacman, who had been using a pseudonym, revealed his identity as Tieshun Roquerre in a post on Twitter.
Pacman admitted to enjoying the anonymity of his pseudonym but believed it was time to reveal his identity publicly after Blur’s community expanded immensely. He included personal information about himself, such as his former firm Namebase, which he had established and sold.
Pacman’s Crunchbase and LinkedIn profiles confirmed his identity. Further evidence of his identity can be found on his Instagram account, GitHub, and other social media platforms.

Blur’s Standoff with OpenSea
Blur has been making headlines due to its ongoing standoff with competitor marketplace OpenSea. The disagreement centers on fee charges, with Blur advising its customers to refrain from selling their NFTs on OpenSea.
This development saw OpenSea lose a significant segment of its marketplace. Despite efforts to recover, recent chart data shows Blur dominating the NFT space. Even though OpenSea has resorted to zero fees, Blur continues to outperform its rival and remains at the top of the list.
As the NFT market continues to grow, it is essential to watch emerging marketplaces such as Blur. Its co-founder’s reveal of his identity provides transparency and accountability, enhancing trust in the marketplace. With Blur’s continued dominance in the NFT space, it will be interesting to see how other marketplaces respond and adapt.
