A marketplace for non-fungible tokens popularly called NFTs, OpenSea, has said it will launch its native coins with the ticker $SEA and has released its OS2 open beta platform.
The move also includes cross-chain buying and a fee structure of 0.5% for marketplace transactions, with no swap fees at launch. It unifies NFT and token trading into a single marketplace. The platform caters to traders and collectors by combining asset exploration, real-time analytics, and native trades across 14 chains, including Flow, ApeChain, Soneium by Sony, and Berachain.
OpenSea Foundation announced this in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “$SEA is coming,” the platform posted. “Here are a few things to know: Historical OpenSea usage, not just recent activity, will be an important ingredient. Claim process will be simple and accessible. US users welcome. We’re focused on long-term sustainability and supporting a healthy, enduring community. No details on timing yet. We’re taking the learnings from this space and getting it right.”
On the OS2 open beta platform, OpenSea said it was live already. “OS2 open beta is now live,” OpenSea posted on X. “ A fully reimagined product built entirely from the ground up, for collectors and pros. NFTs tokens, brought together in one place. Brand new, beautiful ways to explore — beyond just the floor; 14 chains. Native cross-chain purchasing; 0.5% marketplace fees and 0% swap fees on the platform for launch; rewards for all user types.”
OpenSea OS2 introduces an XP system that incentivizes actions like listing goods and making offers. This system attempts to combine the distinct experiences of NFT collecting and token trading into a single digital asset ecosystem. It also includes an updated user interface that makes navigation easier beyond conventional floor price views.
The token announcement comes after months of speculation regarding possible airdrops. This post announcing the $SEA ended speculations and has stirred up genuine expectations.
The OS2 update signals OpenSea's operational shift towards a single digital asset platform. The platform seeks to satisfy user demands while upholding a structured fee structure by integrating features that facilitate native cross-chain trading and an XP reward system.
