The NFT marketplace OpenSea announced on Thursday that its new platform, OS2, is now in public beta and that its $SEA token will soon be launched.
OpenSea stated that OS2 is a completely restructured product featuring a brand new interface and search capabilities, along with modes for “collectors” and “professional users.” In addition to NFTs, OS2 will also offer token swaps and native cross-chain purchasing capabilities, supporting up to 14 blockchains, including new additions such as Flow, ApeChain, Soneium, and Berachain.
OpenSea also mentioned that during the initial launch period, the market trading fee for OS2 will be 0.5%, with no fees for swaps. The platform will also introduce a rewards mechanism for all user types.
Furthermore, the OpenSea Foundation announced that its $SEA token is forthcoming, but “there is no exact release date yet,” noting that “historical usage data from OpenSea (not limited to recent activities) will be an important component,” which may relate to a token airdrop. OpenSea stated that the claiming process will be “simple and accessible,” allowing participation from users in the United States.
