Highlights:
OpenSea is preparing to expand its platform with the launch of the SEA token in the first quarter of 2026. In a message shared on X, CEO Devin Finzer confirmed that half of the total token supply will go directly to the community. Early claims will focus on OG users and participants in past rewards programs.
OpenSea plans to integrate SEA closely into its platform and will use 50% of its launch revenue to buy back tokens. SEA tokens will go to early users and people who joined OpenSeaās past rewards programs, so longtime supporters are rewarded. The token also lets holders stake SEA with their favorite tokens and collections. Staking is designed to keep users engaged and make the OpenSea ecosystem stronger. āSEA isnāt being created to be launched and forgotten,ā the CEO emphasized.
Finzer shared that the platform reached $2.6 billion in trading volume this month, with more than 90% coming from token trading. He said this shows strong user engagement and adoption of OpenSeaās wider trading features. It also highlights the marketās interest in integrated token ecosystems.Ā
OpenSea crossed $2.6B in trading volume this month, with over 90% from token trading.
This is just the beginning of our transformation, from āNFT marketplaceā to ātrade everything.ā
NFTs were chapter one for us. In 2021, OpenSea brought the first wave of everyday internet usersā¦

Finzer explained in a post that NFTs were just the first chapter for OpenSea. He said the next phase is to build a complete destination for the entire on-chain economy. According to him, the goal is to create one place where users can trade everything, tokens, culture, art, ideas, and both digital and physical assets, in an environment that feels like a home rather than a bank. He added that the company aims to remove the need for centralized exchanges. Finzer said that the platform will become the main hub for the whole on-chain economy.
OpenSea CEO said:
āYou shouldnāt have to use a CEX and give up custody of your assets. But you also shouldnāt need to navigate a maze of chains, bridges, wallets, and protocols in order to use onchain liquidity.ā
OpenSeaās upcoming SEA token rollout follows a wider trend of airdrops spreading fast across the crypto world. Several major projects are turning to community rewards to attract and retain users. MetaMask, for instance, recently launched a rewards dashboard, sparking excitement about a possible MASK token airdrop.
Metamask Rewards Are Coming Soon!
The @MetaMask rewards page is live (well, almost).
Right now, the page opens but immediately redirects to the dashboard. That means rewards are coming soon but are not available yet.
Whatās clear now is thatā¦ pic.twitter.com/LpZQqxndU8

Aster has also kicked off its own campaign, where users can earn points, trade, and add liquidity through āpoint farmingā to unlock future rewards. BNB Chain and Four Meme have joined the movement too, launching a $45 million āReload Airdropā to help traders hit by recent market swings. The campaign will distribute rewards to over 160,000 users. Similarly, Cardanoās NIGHT airdrop earlier this year showed how such community-driven initiatives can boost loyalty and activity among crypto holders.
