OpenSea Launches NFT Reserve Fund: 50% of Fees to Support Digital Art Preservation

OpenSea is making a significant change to its platform structure ahead of the launch of its new SEA token. Starting September 15, 2025, the company will allocate 50% of its platform fees to an NFT Reserve Fund. This fund will receive initial funding of $1 million in OP and ARB tokens, aiming to support digital art preservation and incentivize user engagement through gamified rewards. While some reports have suggested a potential 100% fee increase, OpenSea has not issued any official confirmation as of September 11, 2025.
