The NFT marketplace OpenSea announced on Thursday that its new platform, OS2, is now live in public beta, and stated that its $SEA token is set to launch soon.
OpenSea indicated that OS2 is a completely restructured product featuring a brand-new interface and search functionality, offering “Collector” and “Pro User” modes. In addition to NFTs, OS2 will also provide token swaps and native cross-chain purchasing capabilities, supporting up to 14 blockchains, with new additions including Flow, ApeChain, Soneium, and Berachain.
OpenSea further noted that the initial market trading fee for OS2 will be set at 0.5%, and there will be no swap fees. The platform will also introduce a reward mechanism for all types of users.
Additionally, the OpenSea Foundation announced that its $SEA token is forthcoming, but “there is no specific release date yet,” mentioning that “historical usage data from OpenSea (rather than just recent activity) will be an important component,” which may be related to the token airdrop. OpenSea stated that its claim process will be “simple and accessible,” allowing U.S. users to participate as well.
