@W_for_Web3 you’re not taking chest acceleration into account awarded wave-over-wave.

alright, let's address a few items that keep popping up on the timeline.
every single dollar that opensea received in platform fees over the last 5 months was used for one of two purposes:
1. to purchase prizes which were distributed via treasure chests
2. to offer optional refunds via our claim site
imagine all of the platform fees in a single account. we spent some of the funds on prizes. and then had to figure out the right way to distribute what was remaining across hundreds of thousands of wallets.
on the refund page we shared a ledger of:
1. how much each user spent on platform fees (i.e. how much they contributed to the "account" above)
2. what we paid for each prize they'd already received in their treasure chests
if there was a gap, that became the optional refund amount. which we determined was the fairest way to redistribute 100% of the remaining funds.
let's talk for a second about those two numbers above.
when calculating how much each user spent on fees, we did it based on the USD value of those fees at the time of transaction. so for example, if you paid 0.01 ETH of platform fees on Nov 1st, we took the USD value of ETH that day, which was $3,800, and attributed $38 vs. the value of that same ETH today at $21. this was opensea essentially going back in time and irrefutably doing right by users.
when showing the ledger of prizes, many are incorrectly viewing this as "what they're worth" compared to how much opensea "paid" out of our fees account for those prizes. i get it guys, not every NFT is worth today what it was when you received it. and i know sometimes you had to pay royalties to sell them. but the reason we shared this information was to help you understand how we calculated the refund amounts and redistributed the remaining fees from the account. this was very simply, transparency.
to those who didn't have a refund to claim, it meant that you were one of the lucky ones. the amount opensea paid for the prizes you received was more than you had actually spent in platform fees. so you got to essentially trade for free for 5 months and still keep the Treasures you earned. the fact i see people complaining about this particular outcome is puzzling to say the least.
on the point of not providing more details on TGE - that's essentially why the refunds are being offered. the Foundation will share more when they're ready. but you should not expect more information in the immediate term.
opensea was not required to provide these refunds. we did so because we thought it was the right thing to do. if you're truly upset about the way they were calculated, or frustrated that more information on TGE isn't being offered right now, in my opinion, you should personally consider taking the refund.
i for one am extremely excited about what we're creating and our future. opensea is building incredible things that will change the way the world interacts onchain. and we're not going anywhere.

I do however think they shouldn’t delay beyond a quarter
Because I can easily see that even their strongest supporters will probably turn against them if they need to wait beyond that.

As expected $SEA is delayed. They’re also offering refunds to people who want their fees back from farming previous waves. You will lose your badges that you have earned if you opt for refund. They’re also reducing their fees down to 0 for the next little while. My personal take is that I’d rather they delay the launch than rush the launch and not execute properly. I’ve waited a long time for this airdrop and I’ll way another 60-90 days if it means then doing it properly

a dollar to 10 is 10x profits
people just have to ape more to make it out
instead of buying one nft for $1 and flipping it for $10
buy 100 for $100 and flip it for $1k
10x is 10x... you just have to make your margin speak volume

Hey I don’t know who need to hear this but $1 to $5 or $1 to $10 isn’t a cook Set your bar higher , much higher. If you’re going to set your bar and your groups bar at 2-3 dollar profit then you’ll never get out of the brokie loop

Penguish
0.045 > 0.07 (ATH)
The most valuable thing in this collection is not only the fun ART and the founder's with the announced mechanics (1:10 Airdrop)
The limited supply of 1444 pieces is amazing
@PenguishETH
Bodenhon@BodenhonCrypto
Penguish - results 0.017 > 0.008 > 0.045 (ATH) The most difficult thing is to trust the process, we survived the bottom at 0.008, and now we can relax Let's see what happens next, I'm still the holder @PenguishETH @Octo0x

@HollanderAdam Is it a first-come, first-served basis here, or do you need to sign up online?😅
I'm ready

gm y’all.
with the new year underway, i wanted to share an update on what’s coming up at opensea. we’ve been heads-down building, testing, and refining, and there’s a lot cooking.
we’ve been battle testing our newest products.
behind the scenes we’ve been spending a ton of time with active traders and collectors, getting their feedback to help shape os mobile and hyperliquid perps. we can’t wait to get these into your hands. all of your assets, all of your positions, all of your wallets, all of your chains, all in one place, all in your pocket.
btw if you’re interested in helping us test - drop a note below!
you should connect and link your wallets on opensea.
first, this will enable a magical experience with os mobile, where you’ll be able to manage your entire combined portfolio. second, with TGE on the horizon, it will give the Foundation a holistic view of your onchain history, and connect current activity to otherwise dormant wallets.
preparation for the foundation’s TGE is well underway.
lots happening on this front. everyone is rallying to get it right. a reminder that historical volume will be meaningfully considered by the Foundation, as will Treasures from our rewards program, which will continue through TGE - with half of our fees going into the prize pool each wave.
thank you for your feedback and support.
onward and upward.

I spent 4 years in crypto and made $0. Here is why I don’t regret a single second.
Countless nights rotting in discord. Grinding for WLs. Farming Monad, Starknet and Base. Burning thousands on rugs, failed IDOs and the meme trenches.
After 4 years, I still hadn’t earned the life of my dreams. It felt like crypto took my time and mental health, giving nothing in return.
But I was wrong.
✅ Farming airdrops taught me how growth funnels actually work
✅ Chasing NFT whitelists showed me how to build Web3 communities
✅ Losing money on memes taught me crowd psychology and attention marketing
Living in the space 24/7 gave me the skills and network that landed me my current job.
Today, I work 2–3 hours a day for $2,200/mo. That’s enough to live comfortably in Asian paradise with my girlfriend.
We’re too quick to label things as “failure.” What looks like wasted time today might be the foundation of your freedom tomorrow.
Be honest. Would you rather have a lucky $100k airdrop today or a skill set that pays you forever?
