OpenSea, one of the largest NFT marketplaces, has officially launched the open beta of its new platform OS2. The company also confirmed the upcoming launch of its SEA token, aiming to increase user engagement and rewards.
The New OS2 Platform
Developers argue that the OS2 open beta offers a completely redesigned experience for both NFT owners and professional traders. The platform will launch with 0.5% marketplace fees and zero exchange fees.
Support for Multiple Blockchains
The update supports 14 blockchains, including Flow, ApeChain, Sony’s Soneium BSL, and Berachain, with more expected in the future. Additionally, OpenSea has integrated cross-chain purchasing functionality, allowing users to seamlessly purchase NFTs across different blockchains.
SEA Token Announcement
In a significant move, OpenSea has confirmed that the SEA token will also be launched soon. Unlike many new airdrops that focus on short-term activity, OpenSea claims that historical usage data will play a significant role in the distribution of the token. This means that long-term users of the platform could benefit significantly. The token claim process will be launched including for US users, although OpenSea has not yet given a specific timeline.
The launch of the new OS2 platform and SEA token indicates OpenSea's commitment to enhancing user experience and fostering long-term loyalty among its audience. The support for multiple blockchains and cross-chain functionality could greatly expand user capabilities.
