@TCGplayer CX is wild.. 24 hr SLA for tickets in Zendesk, the chatbots intake form was setup poorly, and have had a major outage with their seller portal this AM with the only comms being a generic reply to users post. To say it can be better is an understatement
🔥HOT TAKE from @joelklatt🔥
"We don't want Cinderellas. We want the best teams playing each other at the end... The NCAA basketball tournament is a joke. It's the dumbest tournament and the least fair tournament in all of sports."
OpenSea crossed $2.6B in trading volume this month, with over 90% from token trading.
This is just the beginning of our transformation, from “NFT marketplace” to “trade everything.”
NFTs were chapter one for us. In 2021, OpenSea brought the first wave of everyday internet users onchain. Collectors, artists, gamers, musicians — people who had never opened a wallet — showed up on OpenSea and suddenly owned digital property.
The sequel is the destination for the onchain economy in its entirety. Trade everything. Tokens, culture, art, ideas, the digital and the physical. And all in one place that feels like a home, not a bank.
Building that product is in our DNA. You shouldn’t have to use a CEX and give up custody of your assets. But you also shouldn't need to navigate a maze of chains, bridges, wallets, and protocols in order to use onchain liquidity, wondering whether your balance is on Solana, an Ethereum L2, or somewhere else.
You should just be able to trade everything in one place, seamlessly.
And that brings me to $SEA, from the OpenSea Foundation.
Integrating $SEA into OpenSea will be the opportunity to show the world our vision. It will shine a spotlight on everything we’re building.
So we need to make damn sure that what we’ve built deserves that spotlight — not just for us, but for every holder who believes in what crypto can become. $SEA is not being created to be launched and forgotten.
Today, the Foundation and OpenSea are jointly announcing a few updates:
- Timing. $SEA is coming in Q1 2026.
- Distribution. The Foundation has confirmed that 50% of supply will be allocated to the community, with more than half awarded via an initial claim. Both OGs and those who participated in OpenSea rewards programs will be meaningfully considered, separately.
- Tokenomics. 50% of revenue at launch will be used to purchase $SEA.
- Utility. $SEA will be deeply integrated with OpenSea, including the ability to stake $SEA behind your favorite tokens and collections.
$SEA isn't the destination, but it's a crucial moment everyone will be watching. You only get one TGE. While the Foundation is wrapping up the final details, we’re getting OpenSea ready.
Between now and Q1, we're shipping the features that bring our vision to life. Mobile is now in closed alpha, and will put the entire onchain economy in your pocket. Perps will be coming to OpenSea. True cross-chain abstraction on its way.
I’ll be hopping on an X space at 4pm ET to talk about our vision. The best way to predict the future is to build it together.
Sails up.
Today we're introducing:
- OS Mobile: a beautiful trading experience powered by AI
- Flagship Collection: honoring web3's cultural heritage
- Final Rewards Phase: 50% of platform fees funding millions in token & NFT prizes
- $SEA Update: details in early October
