OpenSea, Might Be Launching Its Own Token

Ever since the announcement of Magic Eden's token issuance, NFT players have been eagerly anticipating the airdrop of $ME. As the price of Bitcoin continues to hit new highs at the year-end, NFT players are not only increasingly looking forward to the arrival of $ME but also the former king OpenSea seems to be ready to bring long-awaited good news to NFT players—


OpenSea, may be issuing its own token.


On November 4th, OpenSea's official announcement stated that a "brand new OpenSea" will be launched in December, and they have opened a site for registering test addresses, with over 700,000 addresses currently on the waitlist.

@johnweth_, as one of the first testers of the new version of OpenSea, wrote a tweet sharing his testing experience (the following screenshots of the new version of OpenSea's website are all from @johnweth_).


A brand new user interface, including the best projects with daily floor price increases, daily & weekly trading volume project rankings, and popular projects.

Users' personal pages are no longer primarily focused on displaying the NFTs held by the user, but rather on showcasing the user's wallet activity.

The following two points are the most important and related to a potential token issuance. Firstly, a "Leaderboard" has been introduced:

From this "Leaderboard" interface, we can see that there is still a locked "Retro" page, literally interpreted as "Retrospect," and this page may later display the tokens that longtime OpenSea users will receive based on their past usage.


As for the "Season 1" interface, it will certainly not be unfamiliar to NFT players who have already experienced Blur. Loyalty is tied to whether orders are placed only on OpenSea. "Boost" is related to the user's ranking on the leaderboard, with a higher ranking resulting in a higher points multiplier. In this interface, the method of earning points is also directly outlined—placing orders on OpenSea and making offers for NFT collections.


While @johnweth_ emphasized at the end of the tweet, the above test content may change after OpenSea officially releases a new version, the idea of "OpenSea launching its own token" has sparked widespread discussion and anticipation among NFT players. Since OpenSea's acquisition of the NFT aggregator Gem and its rebranding as OpenSea Pro, OpenSea has not seen any major updates. Even after Magic Eden established itself as a leader in the Bitcoin NFT trading market, OpenSea did not add support for the Bitcoin network. From the look of this update, OpenSea seems to have finally figured out how to integrate OpenSea and OpenSea Pro and is about to start its "counterattack."


As a result of this news, the "Gemesis" NFT series that OpenSea Pro distributed to Gem's old users in April last year has risen by about 50% in the past week.

NFT veteran players who have been using OpenSea since the infamous "gas war" days finally feel like they are seeing the "light at the end of the tunnel." If OpenSea's token launch is confirmed, how much impact will it have on Blur? Will such a "counterattack" reinvigorate the Ethereum NFT market? We wait with bated breath.
