How to use the OpenSea Pro NFT Marketplace
Open sea is the premier and largest NFT marketplace in the decentralized space, co-founded by Devin Finzer and Alex Atallah in December 2017. Since its inception, OpenSea has represented a recognized brand at the forefront of Web3, promoting and facilitating seamless NFT creation (mining) and trading (purchase and sale). To further establish and reinvigorate the engagement, OpenSea acquired Gem in April 2022, which it subsequently developed into the ‘OpenSea Pro’ marketplace in line with industry sentiment. Essentially, it presents users with a new pro-tuned framework with a powerful built-in aggregator.
What is OpenSea Pro?
OpenSea Pro is an NFT aggregator that allows users to discover and buy NFTs across multiple marketplaces seamlessly. The “Pro” tag means professional, which allows for improved flexible synchronization for all experienced users of different levels. OpenSea Pro aggregates NFTs from over 170 marketplaces and offers general features such as batch transfer, watchlist, up-to-date data and more.
In addition, OpenSea Pro also provides sophisticated features including:
Advanced orders
This feature gives OpenSea Pro users a touch of flexibility and customization. Users can customize the listing and buying experience to their preferences by placing orders based on characteristics, maximum price, number of items (NFT), market and more.
Swift sale at the best price
This allows Pro users to sell their NFT items for the best price by aggregating offers from multiple marketplaces and selling them to the highest bidder or offer.
Optimized gas
OpenSea Pro uses an efficient gas-optimized smart contract to achieve this limited functionality, which allows users to quote and list NFTs from OpenSea Pro at 0% fees.
Real-time data across marketplaces
The platform, with its plethora of features, provides users with live data updates spanning various marketplaces. Users can stay informed about trend collections, trading volume, floor price, coin price, number of owners and listed NFTs across multiple marketplaces, all in real time.
Sophisticated portfolio management
This feature allows Pro users to manage their portfolios across multiple marketplaces seamlessly. They can seamlessly buy, sell and transfer NFT commodities to a variety of marketplaces.
Mobile compatibility
Compatible with mobile devices, OpenSea Pro extends the functionality of NFT collectors on the go!
