OpenSea 代币发布：误导还是欺诈？

在该公司的 X 账户上发布了一条含糊其辞的帖子后，OpenSea 用户想知道是否有可能推出代币。对于这样的发布是否有助于激发兴趣或成为最终的拉力，社区意见存在分歧。

NFT marketplace OpenSea has posted a cryptic message on its official X account, sparking speculation among users about a possible token launch.

NFT 市场 OpenSea 在其官方 X 账户上发布了一条神秘消息，引发了用户对可能推出代币的猜测。

The post, which reads “so… how long have you been using OpenSea?”, has prompted numerous replies from the community suggesting that this may be a hint towards an upcoming token launch.

这篇帖子的内容是“那么……您使用 OpenSea 多久了？”，引起了社区的大量回复，表明这可能是即将推出代币的暗示。

However, given that OpenSea's trading volumes have slowed to a crawl and the marketplace is reportedly facing a legal battle with the SEC, some are questioning the wisdom of such a move.

然而，鉴于 OpenSea 的交易量已大幅放缓，而且据报道该市场正面临与 SEC 的法律诉讼，一些人质疑此举是否明智。

For instance, Loopify, the founder of a web3 project, has stated that OpenSea “is known for having the worst decisions within NFTs.” He adds that a botched launch would destroy any remaining community goodwill.

例如，web3 项目的创始人 Loopify 表示，OpenSea“以在 NFT 中做出最糟糕的决策而闻名”。他补充说，一次拙劣的发射将摧毁任何剩余的社区善意。

“Your founding team exited via secondary sales. Core employees left because you wouldn't launch the token in 2021. Launch it now and watch the entirety of [crypto Twitter] dump on you. Please make it a free money event for everyone, a final goodbye to OpenSea,” Sabharwal wrote.

“你的创始团队是通过二次出售退出的。核心员工离开了，因为你不会在 2021 年推出该代币。现在就启动它，然后观看整个 [加密 Twitter] 的转储。请让它成为一个对每个人来说都是免费的活动，这是对 OpenSea 的最后告别。”Sabharwal 写道。

In other words, he is suggesting that the remaining OpenSea team is trying to squeeze one final round of hype before a final rugpull, similar to the accusations Ren Protocol faced last month.

换句话说，他暗示剩下的 OpenSea 团队正试图在最后一轮拉动之前进行最后一轮炒作，类似于 Ren Protocol 上个月面临的指控。

Another similarity between the two is that in early November, OpenSea made noncommittal promises about a 2.0 platform launch in December. The company hasn't released further details since.

两者之间的另一个相似之处是，11月初，OpenSea对12月推出2.0平台做出了不置可否的承诺。此后该公司尚未公布更多细节。

On the other hand, some community members rejected the notion that OpenSea was planning an underhanded move. For instance, crypto marketer Danny Dope said, “the company is definitely not on the incline,” but a token launch would reignite interest.

另一方面，一些社区成员否认了 OpenSea 正在计划进行秘密行动的说法。例如，加密货币营销人员 Danny Dope 表示，“该公司绝对没有发展势头”，但代币的推出将重新激发人们的兴趣。

“Opensea has the chance to do an absolute good mode chess move on valuing older volume. I just think they need a massive USP to get people to do volume there, beyond just UI improvements which ofcourse will be valueable,” popular NFT collector Rahim Mahtab wrote on X.

“Opensea 有机会在重视旧交易量方面做出绝对好的模式国际象棋棋步。我只是认为他们需要一个巨大的 USP 来让人们在那里做量，而不仅仅是 UI 改进，这当然是有价值的，”流行的 NFT 收藏家 Rahim Mahtab 在 X 上写道。

Whatever the company's motivations are, it's undeniably in a difficult position. Earlier this year, the SEC issued a Wells notice to OpenSea. Even if the next SEC chair is friendlier to the crypto industry, that won't necessarily help a beleaguered NFT marketplace. Between declining interest and legal troubles, it's clear why so many commentators expect the end.

无论公司的动机是什么，无可否认，它正处于一个困难的境地。今年早些时候，SEC 向 OpenSea 发出了 Wells 通知。即使下一任 SEC 主席对加密货币行业更加友好，也不一定会对陷入困境的 NFT 市场有所帮助。在兴趣下降和法律麻烦之间，很明显为什么有这么多评论家预计结局。
