Opensea has launched an open beta for OS2, a rebuilt version of its NFT marketplace featuring reduced fees, a forthcoming SEA token, and expanded blockchain integrations.

Opensea Unveils Major Update, Introduces SEA Token

Accordingย to CEO Devin Finzer, the platform, which is called OS2, is a โ€œcomplete reset,โ€ includes a 0.5% fee on NFT sales, and eliminates fees for token swaps. It also reintroduces previously locked items and delisted collections while removing โ€œunnecessary bansโ€ to align with decentralized Web3 principles.

OS2 supports 14 blockchains, including Flow, Apechain, Sonyโ€™s Sonetum, and Berachain, with plans to add more. Users can now purchase NFTs across chains natively. Openseaโ€™s CEO stated the update prioritizes collectors and professional traders through improved discovery tools and a unified interface for NFTs and tokens.

The nonprofit Opensea Foundation willย issue the SEA tokenย to reward long-term users and creators. Details on distribution remain undisclosed. The company acknowledged past criticisms of becoming โ€œtoo corporateโ€ and said OS2 reflects a cultural shift toward leaner, crypto-native operations.

Finzer said future updates will focus on creator tools, AI integration, and tokenized assets. Openseaโ€™s beta is live atย opensea.io/os2. The overhaul follows months of internal restructuring, including staff reductions. Finzer did not specify a timeline for the full rollout or SEA token release.

โ€œTo all the haters: you made us better,โ€ Finzer remarked. โ€œTo those who stuck with us
