OpenSea Postpones SEA Token Launch, Ends Rewards Program and Launches 60-Day Zero-Fee Trading

OpenSea says it will set a new date only when it can offer a clear, deliberate schedule.

Overview

  • OpenSea has pushed back the planned March 30 debut of its SEA token, with no new timeline provided.
  • The platform is winding down its “Waves” rewards program, confirming the current wave will be the last.
  • Users who traded during Waves 3–6 can opt for platform-fee refunds if they give up their Treasure rewards, while Treasures kept will still count toward future allocations.
  • Token trading fees on OpenSea will drop to 0% for 60 days starting March 31 to encourage use of its updated, multi-chain marketplace.
  • Reporting places the delay against a weaker NFT market this year, and prior updates indicated roughly half of SEA’s supply was intended for community distribution.
