OpenSea crossed $2.6B in trading volume this month, with over 90% from token trading. This is just the beginning of our transformation, from “NFT marketplace” to “trade everything.” NFTs were chapter one for us. In 2021, OpenSea brought the first wave of everyday internet users onchain. Collectors, artists, gamers, musicians — people who had never opened a wallet — showed up on OpenSea and suddenly owned digital property. The sequel is the destination for the onchain economy in its entirety. Trade everything. Tokens, culture, art, ideas, the digital and the physical. And all in one place that feels like a home, not a bank. Building that product is in our DNA. You shouldn’t have to use a CEX and give up custody of your assets. But you also shouldn't need to navigate a maze of chains, bridges, wallets, and protocols in order to use onchain liquidity, wondering whether your balance is on Solana, an Ethereum L2, or somewhere else. You should just be able to trade everything in one place, seamlessly. And that brings me to $SEA, from the OpenSea Foundation. Integrating $SEA into OpenSea will be the opportunity to show the world our vision. It will shine a spotlight on everything we’re building. So we need to make damn sure that what we’ve built deserves that spotlight — not just for us, but for every holder who believes in what crypto can become. $SEA is not being created to be launched and forgotten. Today, the Foundation and OpenSea are jointly announcing a few updates: - Timing. $SEA is coming in Q1 2026. - Distribution. The Foundation has confirmed that 50% of supply will be allocated to the community, with more than half awarded via an initial claim. Both OGs and those who participated in OpenSea rewards programs will be meaningfully considered, separately. - Tokenomics. 50% of revenue at launch will be used to purchase $SEA. - Utility. $SEA will be deeply integrated with OpenSea, including the ability to stake $SEA behind your favorite tokens and collections. $SEA isn't the destination, but it's a crucial moment everyone will be watching. You only get one TGE. While the Foundation is wrapping up the final details, we’re getting OpenSea ready. Between now and Q1, we're shipping the features that bring our vision to life. Mobile is now in closed alpha, and will put the entire onchain economy in your pocket. Perps will be coming to OpenSea. True cross-chain abstraction on its way. I’ll be hopping on an X space at 4pm ET to talk about our vision. The best way to predict the future is to build it together. Sails up.

some of you claim to be OGs and don't even know who carlos matos is

ngl, the new Pulse feature from chatgpt is pretty sick

4) - Full change log: github.com/Kr1ptal/ethers… - Examples: github.com/Kr1ptal/ethers… Need help integrating? My DM's are open!

3) Breaking Changes - Changed from using an Array -> List when encoding/decoding contract calls for better KMP compatibility. - ContractStruct type now needs to implement abiType, but only if not auto-generating contracts. - channels-kt replaces internal streams.

New release: ethers-kt v1.4.2! Major release bringing support for: - auto-derived EIP-712 typed data, - channels-kt integration, + some breaking changes. See below for more details! 👇

Be careful signing transactions today 🙏 A number of popular libraries used by crypto companies have been compromised, meaning even trusted sites could be exploited We have confirmed that @opensea is not affected We're working to coordinate with all major wallets to ensure that they are safe too. Need to sign something? 1. Make sure it can't wait a few hours — the risk will pass quickly 2. If you really can't, make sure you wait for the simulation in your wallet & check the results

just deleted 30,000 lines of code few things more satisfying

a few years ago, we were an NFT marketplace. today, we're the home for all onchain assets. when we launched OS2, we didn't just rebuild our platform. we reimagined what it means to exchange everything onchain. NFTs, tokens, everything in one place. so @pudgypenguins choosing OpenSea as the official home for both their NFTs and $PENGU isn't about nostalgia. it's about recognizing where onchain trading is headed, and validation of our path forward. welcome home penguins 🐧

Introducing OpenSea MCP. Your onchain copilot. Cutting through static to signals that matter. Developers, apply for beta access today! More details in the posts below.

@0xPrado Congrats! 🚀

🫡

At @ETHGlobal New York, piloting our beta MCP that gives your AI agents access to all the data & actions on @opensea. Come say hi and get your API key if you’re around!

ETH is up so they’re serving steaks at @ETHGlobal

building a great home for nfts 🤝 tokens means working together we’re looking for ~100 folks to pilot a new program, help shape the future of @opensea & get early access to trading features 👇 there will be a lot more opportunities in the future too — there’s so much to build!

Somehow ended up @UFBots 😂🚀 Good time with great people watching the robots fight it out @ethereumhouseSF

In SF for Frontiers event the next few days - let’s meet if anyone else is attending!

Yesterday Ethereum turned 10. Today, lean Ethereum is unveiled as a vision—and personal mission—for the next 10 years. We stand at the dawn of a new era. Millions of TPS. Quantum adversaries. How does Ethereum marry extreme performance with uncompromising security and decentralization? TLDR: next-generation cryptography is central to winning both offense and defense. Disclaimer: This is a Drake take™ aimed at a broad audience. A technical deep dive into hash-based post-quantum signatures and SNARKs will follow. A healthy diversity of views across Protocol, the EF, and the broader Ethereum community is expected and welcome. It strengthens us. defense—fort mode Ethereum is special. 100% uptime since genesis. Unrivaled client diversity. $130B in economic security (35.7M ETH staked × $3.7K)—maybe soon $1T. Ethereum is poised to become the bedrock of the internet of value, securing hundreds of trillions over decades, even centuries. Ethereum must survive anything: nation states, quantum computers. Whatever comes. Call it fort mode. If the internet is up, Ethereum is up. If the world is online, the world is onchain. offense—beast mode Ethereum is hungry. “Scale L1, scale blobs” is a strategic urgency inside the EF’s Protocol cluster. Expect low-hanging performance gains over the next 6–12 months. Longer term? Think gigagas L1, teragas L2. Call it beast mode. → 1 gigagas/sec on L1: 10K TPS, ambitious vertical scale → 1 teragas/sec on L2: 1M TPS, sprawling horizontal scale Scale vs decentralization? Why not both. The moon math we need is now tamed: → real-time zkVMs for lean execution → data availability sampling (DAS) for lean data A delicious cherry on top: full chain verification across every browser, wallet, phone. lean upgrades Lean Ethereum proposes bold upgrades across all three L1 sublayers: → lean consensus is beacon chain 2.0: hardened for ultimate security and decentralization, plus finality in seconds; formerly branded as “beam chain” → lean data is blobs 2.0: post-quantum blobs, plus granular blob sizing for a calldata-like developer experience → lean execution is EVM 2.0: a minimal, SNARK-friendly instruction set (possibly RISC-V; pronounced “risk five”), boosting performance while preserving EVM compatibility and its network effects The consensus layer (CL), data layer (DL), execution layer (EL) have each been reimagined from first principles. Together, they unlock fort mode and beast mode. The goal: performance abundance under the constraint of non-negotiable continuity, maximum hardness, and refreshing simplicity. lean cryptography Hash-based cryptography is emerging as the ideal foundation for lean Ethereum. It offers a compelling, unified answer to two megatrends reshaping the ecosystem: → the explosive rise of SNARKs → the looming quantum threat Imagine the leanest cryptographic brick—the hash function—singlehandedly powering L1: → CL: hash-based aggregate signatures upgrade BLS signatures → DL: hash-based DAS commitments upgrade KZG commitments → EL: hash-based real-time zkVMs upgrade EVM re-execution A cryptographic jewel in each of lean CL, lean DL, lean EL. lean craft Lean Ethereum is more than a blueprint for hardening and scaling Ethereum. More than just doubling down on security, decentralisation, and cutting-edge cryptography. It is an aesthetic. An art form. A craft. Think Jiro in Dreams of Sushi. When we can go the extra mile, we do. Minimalism. Modularity. Encapsulated complexity. Formal verification. Provable security. Provable optimality. These are subtle yet important technical considerations. Stay tuned for the post on post-quantum cryptography that will make them explicit. lean legacy After 10 fantastic years, lean Ethereum is a generational oath. To keep Ethereum online no matter what. To scale it without compromise. To make it worthy of those who come next. This is about legacy. We are builders, we are missionaries. We are Ethereum. I hope you join us.
