OpenSea, a trading platform for non-funny symbols (NFTs), officially introduced its OpenSea2 (OS2) upgrade to the wider public after a period in beta.
The renewed product now contains token trade across 19 blockchains as it continues to turn from NFTs to the wider crypto market.
“OS2 is the basis of the next generation of OpenSea,” Devin Finzer, co -founder and CEO of OpenSea, said in a statement. “We have rebuilt the platform from scratch to become the best destination for all on-chain, from NFTs to tokens, across chains and communities.”
The company also announced a renewal of its reward system that recognizes activity on the chain with so-called XP points. The system, called Voyages, editions XP for users who carry out basic activities such as sharing a gallery, finishing an on-chain swap or buying an NFT.
“Travel is a clear step towards a more intentional form of commitment to Opensea,” Finzer said. “It’s about encouraging people to explore the full range of what the platform can do across chains, assets and experiences.”
Users will eventually be able to use the XP accrued to claims the highly expected air drop of the sea, which will be the native OpenSea token.
OpenSea’s Chief Marketing Officer, Adam Hollander, said in a blog post that he “reads comments every day” as to when the token will be released, but insists that the OpenSea Foundation will issue the token in a token generation event (TGE), which is only a number of releases.
“As someone who has spent the last four years shopping in the trenches right next to you, I know what it’s like to have a $ Sea Airdrop,” Hollander said. “But I also know that this is not just another TGE – it’s TGE. And getting it right will not just be a W for the foundation and OpenSea, but for our entire space.”
The company has not set a date for when the token will be released.
