OpenSea is poised for a major shift as they plan to launch their own native token, SEA, in the first quarter of 2026. This exciting development will integrate SEA tokens into the platform’s core functionality. The company has announced that 50% of the total SEA token supply will be distributed directly to the community as a strategic step to strengthen user engagement and ownership within OpenSea’s ecosystem. OpenSea is moving beyond its current model to offer comprehensive crypto trading, with staking integrated into this new framework. This allows users to contribute their SEA tokens for enhanced trading capabilities and potentially influence liquidity flows and governance participation.
