NFT市场的Blur rgence完全改变了其外观。输出：标题：Opensea的兴衰：从NFT交易巨头到令牌发行人

2月13日晚上，Opensea宣布在X上发布OS2公共Beta版本，并将推出平台令牌SEA

Blur's UI design that many people began to complain about OpenSea's UI. Some people even said that OpenSea should learn from Blur's UI design. In fact, OpenSea has also made some adjustments to its UI in recent months, but the overall changes are not obvious.

Blur的UI设计，许多人开始抱怨Opensea的UI。有人甚至说，Opensea应该从Blur的UI设计中学习。实际上，Opensea最近几个月还对其UI进行了一些调整，但总体变化并不明显。

In addition to the UI, OpenSea's high handling fees and slow response to the community have also become槽点. In fact, OpenSea has adjusted its handling fees several times, but each adjustment has encountered strong opposition from the community. In the end, OpenSea had to cancel the handling fee adjustment plan and continue to maintain the 2.5% handling fee.

除了UI外，Opensea的高处理费和对社区的缓慢反应也已成为槽点。实际上，Opensea多次调整了其处理费，但是每个调整都遇到了社区的强烈反对。最后，Opensea必须取消处理费用调整计划，并继续保持2.5％的处理费。

In terms of community response, OpenSea has indeed been slow in recent months. For example, in the second half of 2022, there was a wave of NFT copyright disputes, and many NFT projects were sued by Miramax and Paramount. At that time, the community hoped that OpenSea could take some measures to protect NFT creators, but OpenSea did not respond positively.

在社区反应方面，近几个月来，Opensea确实已经很慢。例如，在2022年下半年，有一波NFT版权纠纷，许多NFT项目被Miramax和Paramount起诉。当时，社区希望Opensea可以采取一些措施来保护NFT创作者，但Opensea并没有做出积极的反应。

In addition, OpenSea's large-scale layoffs at the end of 2022 also caused dissatisfaction among employees. Some employees said that they learned about the layoffs from the news and did not receive any notice from the company.

此外，Opensea在2022年底的大规模裁员也引起了员工的不满。一些员工说，他们从新闻中了解了裁员，但没有收到公司的任何通知。

Although the specific timetable and details have not yet been announced, this announcement has undoubtedly touched the hearts of many old players in the cryptocurrency circle. In just one hour, the number of comments and reposts on the tweet has exceeded 1,000, and the community discussion has soared.

输出：Opensea在2月13日晚上宣布，OS2公共Beta版将在X上启动，并将启动平台代币海，并暗示它将进行气盘。尽管尚未宣布具体的时间表和细节，但这一公告无疑触动了加密货币圈子中许多老玩家的心。在短短的一个小时内，推文上的评论和重新发布已超过1,000，社区讨论已经飙升。

OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer also tweeted to emphasize that "OS2, which is being launched, is not just a new product, and SEA is not just a token, but a brand new OpenSea built from scratch." There have also been some rumors that the new version of OpenSea will refer to Blur's transaction-centric UI.

Opensea首席执行官Devin Finzer还在推文中强调说：“正在推出的OS2不仅是新产品，而且Sea不仅是代币，而且是由Scratch建造的全新Opensea。”还有一些有传言称，新版本的Opensea将指Blur的以交易为中心的UI。

OpenSea is finally going to issue a coin. If it were three years ago, this would definitely be a much-anticipated carnival in the cryptocurrency circle. However, things are different now. Today's cryptocurrency circle is dominated by MemeCoin, and NFT has long been "outdated". What's even more regrettable is that even if we limit our focus to the NFT field, OpenSea is no longer glorious. According to Dune data, OpenSea's trading volume in January was only US$195 million, a 96% drop from the peak of US$5 billion in early 2022, and its annual revenue has shrunk to approximately US$33.26 million.

Opensea终于要发行硬币。如果是三年前，这绝对是加密货币圈子中备受期待的狂欢节。但是，现在情况有所不同。当今的加密货币圈子由Memecoin主导，而NFT长期以来一直“过时”。更令人遗憾的是，即使我们将注意力限制在NFT领域，Opensea也不再光荣。根据Dune数据，Opensea在一月份的交易量仅为1.95亿美元，比2022年初的50亿美元的峰值下降了96％，其年收入已缩减到约3326万美元。

According to nftpulse data, as of press time, Opensea's market share in the past 30 days has dropped sharply from 95% in December 2021 to 29%; on the other hand, OpenSea's valuation has also fallen from its peak of US$13.3 billion in early 2023 to around US$1.5 billion, and it even fell to the point of being "sold".

根据NFTPulse数据，截至发稿时，Opensea在过去30天的市场份额从2021年12月的95％急剧下降到29％；另一方面，Opensea的估值也从2023年初的133亿美元的峰值下降到约15亿美元，甚至跌至“出售”。

So, why did OpenSea, once the dominant player in the NFT trading market, come to this point?

那么，为什么Opensea曾经是NFT贸易市场中的主要参与者？

Let’s review the brief history of OpenSea’s development and see how it rose rapidly and how it fell from the throne in the NFT market competition. Finally, let’s talk about what impact OpenSea’s decision to issue tokens at this time may have on the entire NFT market landscape.

让我们回顾一下Opensea开发的简短历史，看看它是如何迅速上升的以及它如何从NFT市场竞争中的宝座中降下的。最后，让我们谈谈Opensea此时发布代币的决定对整个NFT市场格局的影响。

The early days: surviving in the NFT wasteland

早期：在NFT荒原中生存

There is no doubt that among the startups in the Web3 field, OpenSea is undoubtedly a legendary company that started from scratch. Especially in the two years from 2021 to 2022, the company has leapt from obscurity to a super "unicorn" with a valuation of US$13.3 billion at an astonishing speed, and has firmly sat on the top spot in the NFT trading market. However, behind this glorious period is a dramatic history of market ups and downs. Therefore, the author believes that the rise and fall of OpenSea can also be seen as a microcosm of the NFT industry's transition from wild growth to rational competition.

毫无疑问，在Web3领域的初创公司中，Opensea无疑是一家从头开始的传奇公司。尤其是在2021年至2022年的两年中，该公司从默默无闻到超级“独角兽”，其估值的速度为133亿美元，并以惊人的速度坚定地稳固地位于NFT贸易市场的最高点。但是，这个光荣时期的背后是市场起伏的巨大历史。因此，作者认为，Opensea的兴衰也可以看作是NFT行业从野外增长到理性竞争的过渡的缩影。

In September 2017, Devin Finzer and Alex Atallah won seed round financing from the well-known venture capital incubator Y Combinator with their innovative project "Wificoin". This project aims to use cryptocurrency to pay for shared WiFi and has nothing to do with the NFT track.
