According to OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer, the popular NFT marketplace will delay the launch of its highly anticipated SEA token, citing tough market conditions and a desire to get the rollout right.

What's the Scoop?

  • Token Delay: Devin Finzer has confirmed the launch of OpenSea's SEA token will be delayed beyond the platform's Q1 TGE timeline. The delay has been attributed to "challenging" crypto market conditions and the desire to ensure a strong launch.
  • Reward Campaign Ends: OpenSea's current "Treasure" rewards wave will be its last. According to Finzer, users can continue to hold Treasure, and their accumulated rewards, "will be meaningfully considered by the [OpenSea] Foundation at TGE."
  • Fee Refund: In recognition of broken promise, Finzer says OpenSea will offer optional fee refunds to all users who participated in reward waves 3 to 6, following his previous TGE timing announcement, published in October. Additionally, starting March 31, OpenSea will reduce token trading fees to 0%.
