Summary
Blur Finance (ticker: BLR) was a yield aggregator DeFi protocol that operated on BNB Chain and Polygon in mid-2022. In August 2022, developers allegedly executed a textbook rug pull, withdrawing approximately $600,000 from user-deposited funds before deleting all social media channels and abandoning the project. The BLR token collapsed 99%, and the protocol's smart contracts on both chains have since been formally flagged on BscScan and PolygonScan as rug pull addresses.
