MIAMI, Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenSea, the world's first and leading NFT marketplace, today launched OS2, a complete rebuild of its platform with cross-chain token trading.

OpenSea, the leading NFT marketplace, has unveiled OS2, a complete rebuild of its platform that now includes cross-chain token trading. The platform features upgrades to every surface of the marketplace, offering users a faster and more seamless experience for NFTs.

The platform also includes new chains, better ways to search and explore, marketplace aggregation, cross-chain purchasing, and lower fees at launch. OS2 is the most significant update in OpenSea's history.

Together with the launch, the OpenSea Foundation, a Cayman Islands-based foundation, has announced $SEA, a new token that will be used to reward and engage NFT users.

"This marks an expansion of OpenSea from an NFT marketplace to a much broader platform for trading all types of digital assets. We think tokens and NFTs belong together in a single, powerful, and delightful experience," said Devin Finzer, Co-founder and CEO of OpenSea. "Our community of beta testers have been pushing on speed, reliability, and quality as they battle-tested the platform. The result is something that finally feels right — a single home for all your digital assets that just works."

In addition, the OpenSea Foundation today announced the upcoming launch of $SEA, a token designed to support engagement within the NFT and broader crypto ecosystem. $SEA holders will be able to utilize the token on OS2.

While the Foundation has not released details on the timing of $SEA, they will be taking learnings from the space and focusing the token's utility on driving long-term sustainability.

$SEA will also act as a new means to recognize active and loyal users of the platform, as well as historical users who have been a part of the OpenSea community since its early days.

"The OpenSea Foundation is excited to announce the $SEA token, which will mark a major step in empowering our community and fostering the OpenSea ecosystem and the Seaport Protocol on which it operates," said James Hu, General Manager of the OpenSea Foundation.
