Blurmarketplace: BLUR proposal requirements
Under the Blur Foundation’s governance process, a Snapshot proposer needs at least 100 000 delegated BLUR. An on-chain proposer needs at least 30 million delegated BLUR and must base the proposal on a successful Snapshot vote. These requirements govern separate stages of decision-making for Blur’s marketplace and Blend lending protocol.
Delegation and research-forum discussion
BLUR is an ERC-20 governance token. To register a voting balance, a holder delegates their balance to their own address or someone else’s address. Submission eligibility depends on the BLUR delegated to the proposer, so the requirement concerns registered voting power.
Proposals begin in the research forum, where discussion must last at least seven days. A proposal can advance when it’s welcomed and community feedback has been incorporated. Having enough delegated BLUR doesn’t remove this discussion stage.
Snapshot and on-chain proposal requirements compared
| Voting stage | Who can submit | Voting conditions and outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Snapshot | A community member with at least 100 000 delegated BLUR, following the research-forum stage. | A two-day voting delay precedes a 14-day gasless vote. Progression requires a majority of participating votes and at least 30 million BLUR in yes votes. |
| On-chain vote | A member with at least 30 million delegated BLUR. The proposal must be based on a successful Snapshot vote and include code to execute. Tally can provide an interface to the governance contract. | A one-block voting delay precedes a 14-day vote. Passage requires majority support and at least 120 million BLUR in yes votes. Any member can then queue execution and execute the proposal after the two-day execution delay. |
| Changeable settings | Governance can change proposal thresholds, quorum, voting delays, and voting periods. | |
The submission threshold measures one proposer’s delegated voting power. The yes-vote requirement measures support cast during the vote. Meeting the submission threshold doesn’t guarantee passage, and Snapshot approval still leaves the separate on-chain vote and execution requirements to satisfy.
The Safety Committee can prevent a Blur Improvement Proposal (BIP) from passing if it hasn’t followed the required governance process.

Governance and the planned website retirement
In its October 12, 2026 announcement, Blur scheduled its marketplace frontend’s retirement for November 12, 2026. Blur said the marketplace protocol would remain operational on-chain and BLUR would continue to control its fee switch.
