TechFlow news — On February 13, OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer announced that the NFT marketplace OpenSea has officially launched its new version, OS2, and will issue a platform token $SEA through the OpenSea Foundation.
In this new version, OpenSea has reduced its NFT trading fees to 0.5%, with 0% fees for token trades. The platform has also revised multiple Web3-related policies, including reactivating previously locked assets and delisted collections, as well as removing certain unnecessary bans.
Finzer stated that this update represents not just a product upgrade but a comprehensive platform transformation. During development, OpenSea adopted a leaner, crypto-native team structure, significantly improving efficiency—despite halving team size, code commits increased sixfold.
Regarding the upcoming platform token $SEA, the OpenSea Foundation said it will prioritize rewarding early community supporters and is designed as a sustainable, long-term project. The token will be deeply integrated into the OS2 platform.
Currently, OS2 has entered public testing. OpenSea said it will continue focusing on developing new features including NFTs, tokens, creator tools, and the integration of artificial intelligence with blockchain technology, aiming to build the highest-quality crypto products.
