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.

Dear friends,
Reading your comments to my previous tweet, I realized that it should have been clearer and more responsible.
It was obviously not aimed at Danya's close friends or God forbid family. I was referring to people who now refer to themselves as friends, but did very little to help. It did annoy me, and does annoy now. I never had a privilege to call Danya a friend, but I acknowledge that FIDE also could and should have done better.
We need to look into our policies, and probably not to wait for a formal complaint, but to step in and protect the people in such a situations. Very difficult to balance it all, but we will do our utmost.
On a personal level: the news of Danya's passing shocked me. It triggered a lot of feelings, and maybe I was too emotional writing about it. And emotions are rarely a good companion of wisdom.

@Robiulislam796 @opensea hey can you try refreshing the page? that should fix it
English

@pman555 @Tyler_Did_It hey sorry about that. can you DM me which wallet extensions you use? I can try to help
English

@Tyler_Did_It Sure. Would be great if the website worked though. At this point I need to disconnect and reconnect my wallet multiple times a day to get transactions to go through.

OpenSea is on fire right now.
Not surprising that the ones who were there in the beginning are sticking around and the mercenaries disguised as "market efficiency maxis" are dormant.
Now we just need JPGs to be great again.
