The delisting of Blurt from Probit Global is a major setback for the community. Having Blurt listed on CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap was incredibly valuable, as it allowed users to easily track their investments and monitor current market prices. With Probit Global removing Blurt, we’ve lost access to those important third-party tracking features. To make matters worse, this change has increased our dependence on Hive’s ecosystem.
Although Blurt’s value has remained relatively strong compared to Hive, trading will now primarily occur through Hive-Engine and TribalDex. Both are reliable exchanges with active bridges, and Blurt has consistently ranked among the top tokens in daily spot trading. However, these platforms limit Blurt’s accessibility since participation requires being a Hive user. While Hive’s ecosystem is robust, Blurt should aim to develop its own independent infrastructure beyond front-ends.
I still believe that Blurt should establish a secondary chain for tokens and NFTs. If listing on traditional exchanges is too costly, then building our own exchange ecosystem could be a practical alternative. By enhancing Blurt’s utility and increasing its overall value, we can naturally drive higher trade volumes. What we need now is a collective effort—brainstorming, innovation, and giving developers the freedom to build something impactful. With that, renewed interest in Blurt will surely follow.
Another good option would be to take wrapped versions of Blurt more seriously and support liquidity pools outside of Hive's ecosystem. This would help us solve the tracking issue for chains that are supported on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko.
Blurt is in some rough times, but we do have options. If it's a bit expensive for us to focus on centralized exchanges, then it's time for us to think of new improvements, a secondary-chain, and allowing developers to try new things. We have a great platform, we simply need more attention—being available on small centralized exchanges can only do so much.
