OpenSea, a leading NFT platform, announced the launch of its SEA token airdrop and a new version of its platform—OpenSea 2.0.
OpenSea's SEA Airdrop Confirmation
OpenSea, a top-tier NFT marketplace, has confirmed plans to airdrop its SEA token to the community. This statement was made together with the announcement of the OpenSea 2.0 open beta launch today, February 13, 2025. While the full list of eligibility criteria is yet to be disclosed, the team stressed that historical activity, not recent "farming," will be the key ingredient to qualify for the drop. The process of token claiming promises to be easy and streamlined, with U.S. users also eligible.
Launch of OpenSea 2.0 on 14 Blockchains
On February 13, 2025, OpenSea announced the opening of the second iteration of its platform in public beta on 14 blockchains, including ApeChain and Berachain. This version debuts with a brand new architecture, including support for cross-chain operations and purchasing. The focus is on updating the interface and enhancing user experience.
New Fees and Rewards in OpenSea 2.0
OpenSea 2.0 launches with a marketplace fee of 0.5% and 0% swap fee for the launch. Additionally, a complete redesign of the rewards program and advanced tokenomics for all participants, including collectors, traders, and commissioners, were announced.
With the announcement of the SEA airdrop and the launch of OpenSea 2.0, the team emphasizes long-term sustainability and supporting an active community.
