About OpenSea
OpenSea is the world's largest NFT marketplace, founded in 2017 by Devin Finzer and Alex Atallah. Originally focused on Ethereum NFTs, the platform has evolved into a comprehensive on-chain trading hub supporting NFTs, tokens, and digital assets across multiple blockchains. With the launch of OS2, OpenSea is transitioning from a pure NFT marketplace to a trade-everything platform, processing over $2.6B in monthly trading volume. On March 16, 2026 — two weeks before the planned March 30 launch — co-founder Devin Finzer announced the SEA token TGE has been postponed INDEFINITELY, citing 'challenging market conditions.' No new timeline has been provided; the Foundation will announce a date once conditions improve. No more reward waves will run; existing Treasures remain eligible for consideration whenever the launch occurs.
