OpenSea, which was the undisputable NFT marketplace of the 2021 bull market, has been facing intense competition from Blur since 2023 began. As a response to the already-heated rivalry, the Devin Finzer and Alex Atallah-founded platform developed the pro version.

At press time, the floor price of the Gemesis collection was 0.044 ETH. Although this represented a decline from 0.07 ETH, addresses attracted to the collection continue to swell. At the time of writing, 85,306 out of the 180,000 items have been minted.
