OpenSea has announced the launch of its OS2 open beta platform and confirmed plans to release a token called SEA. The move consolidates NFT and token trading into one marketplace while introducing cross-chain purchasing and a fee structure set at 0.5% for marketplace transactions with no swap fees at launch.
The platform is designed to serve both collectors and traders by integrating asset exploration with real-time analytics and native trades across 14 chains, including Flow, ApeChain, Soneium by Sony, and Berachain, with additional chains planned.
OS2 introduces an XP system that rewards activities such as listing items and making offers. This system, combined with an updated user interface that streamlines navigation beyond traditional floor price views, represents an effort to merge the separate experiences of NFT collecting and token trading into a single digital asset ecosystem.
The token announcement follows months of speculation about potential airdrops. A tweet from the OpenSea Foundation outlined that historical platform usage, not just recent activity, will influence the token claim process, which is intended to be straightforward and accessible for US users.
The OS2 update signals OpenSea’s operational pivot toward a unified digital asset platform. By embedding features that support native cross-chain trading and an XP reward system, the platform aims to address diverse user needs while maintaining a structured fee framework. No further details on the timing have been provided.
Expected changes in US policy at the SEC may have been a factor in OpenSea’s strategic pivot after it pledged support for artists and developers affected by a perceived NFT crackdown in 2024.
