More XP, More Chests: OpenSea Accelerates OS2 Rewards

OpenSea, the leading NFT marketplace, continues to strengthen its rewards system with new integrations, events, and additional funds aimed at its most active users.
Since the launch of its OS2 version, the company has reshaped how participation within its ecosystem is rewarded — emphasizing consistency, exploration, and genuine contribution to the network.

From Beta to OS2: A Broader Platform

On May 29, 2025, OpenSea officially announced the release of OS2 out of beta, marking a turning point in its development.
This update not only improved the interface and compatibility — now supporting fungible and non-fungible tokens across up to 19 blockchain networks — but also introduced a new XP-based rewards system.

The goal behind this redesign is clear: to reward meaningful actions within the ecosystem, not just trading volume.

The rewards are designed to recognize consistent activity, discovery of new features, and engagement across multiple chains. All of this paves the way for the highly anticipated $SEA token, which will play a key role in OpenSea’s economy.

How the New Rewards System Works

OpenSea’s program combines several components that interact to create a continuous, gamified experience.

Treasure Chest

Each user has a chest that accumulates progress during the season. The more a user engages in eligible activities, the higher their level. At the end of the season, the chest opens and distributes NFTs and tokens from the global rewards pool.

Voyages

Voyages are weekly challenges that encourage users to perform specific actions: buying NFTs, swapping tokens, exploring new networks, or testing advanced features.

These missions are classified by rarity — Common, Rare, Epic, or Legendary — and the most difficult ones grant additional progress or even “Shipments”, special drops with extra rewards.

Actions That Grant XP

Eligible actions include:

• Purchasing NFTs listed on OpenSea.
• Performing token swaps directly on the platform.
• Having an offer successfully accepted.

Activities like private listings or ETH wrapping do not count toward progress.

Account Linking

OpenSea allows users to connect multiple wallets (EVM, Solana, Abstract) to a single account. This way, all progress is consolidated into one profile, making tracking and rewards collection easier.

Rewards in Constant Expansion

Beyond the system itself, OpenSea has shown a tangible commitment to its community by continually expanding the economic pool that sustains its rewards. In recent months, the platform has publicly announced several additions to its Rewards Pool:

• $2.8 million in ETH, CBBTC, and SOL.
• $1.8 million more in ETH, WBTC, SOL, and HYPE.
• Increases pushing the total above $11 million.
• Additional contributions of up to $500,000 in ETH and other assets.

According to OpenSea, 50% of the fees generated by purchases and swaps go directly into this pool, ensuring rewards remain sustainable and continue to grow over time.

Recognition for Historical Users

Those who participated in earlier program versions are not left out. XP accumulated in previous stages is converted into “Treasures,” which now integrate with the chest system and retain their value within the current ecosystem.

Additionally, OpenSea randomly distributes “Shipments” — bonus progress for users with notable activity or specific wallets — encouraging ongoing exploration.

What’s Next: The Role of the $SEA Token

Although OpenSea has not yet announced the exact date or details of its Token Generation Event (TGE), the design of the current system suggests that existing rewards — XP, chests, and completed missions — will serve as the foundation for future $SEA token allocations.

This means that users participating today may gain advantages once distribution officially begins.

Transparency and Safeguards

OpenSea has clarified that all rewards are subject to legitimate activity verification. Fraudulent actions, multi-wallet manipulation, or automated behavior may invalidate participation.

However, the system remains fully traceable: users can monitor their progress through the My Activity tab, while the reward pool’s movements are publicly visible through OpenSea’s official wallet.

OpenSea continues to move toward a more dynamic and participatory version of its platform. With OS2 and its reward program, the company is building an ecosystem where daily activity carries real value. The ongoing expansions of the pool — millions of dollars in digital assets — confirm that OpenSea’s strategy goes beyond attracting users: it aims to sustain a committed and active community.
