Due to an error in the new trading system, a user of the marketplace of non-fungible Blur tokens overestimated the price of the Art Gobbler collection token and lost 70 ethers.
The collector under the name Keungz admitted on Twitter that he was mainly to blame, but he also sees the fault of the platform:
“When a user wants to enter 0.1 ETH, if he enters a dot without a zero, it becomes 1 ETH.”
According to the victim, as a result of an error, he bought the Art Gobbler 8273 collection token for 70 ETH, the minimum price of which was 3.77 ETH. In response, the Blur site team stated that it reimburses lost assets only for errors due to the fault of the platform, and they are not responsible for users’ mistakes. Then the team changed its mind and announced that it would refund the user 50% of the lost amount.
“Initially we thought it was a user error. Then, after studying the problem, we saw that what happened can be considered a platform error from the user’s point of view. Therefore, we will refund 50% to traders affected by this behavior of the user interface,” Blur developers said.
They added that they will automatically return assets that are 25% above the minimum NFT value. The Blur trading platform on Paradigm was launched on October 19 and bills itself as “the NFT marketplace for professional traders.” Art Gobblers is a collection created in August on Ethereum, consisting of 2,319 NFTs featuring animated monster art.
In 2020, a user sent 4,005 LINKs worth about $52,800 to a smart contract that does not support them. The tokens are irretrievably lost in the Aavegotchi game contract.
