OpenSea integrates BNB chain to improve the NFT experience for creators and users
The multi-chain world of NFTs is getting even closer as the two giants finally merge.
OpenSea opens for BNB Chain NFTs
The OpenSea Non-Fungible Token (NFT) Marketplace has announced the integration of BNB Chain NFTs, with buying and selling set to begin before the end of the year.
The new connection unites the largest blockchain of active users and wallets with the largest NFT marketplace by volume. A press release shared with BSC News confirmed that BNB Chain NFTs will launch on the OpenSeas Seaport Protocol in Q4 2022.
“Our goal is to provide the best-in-class experience to NFT creators and users, and this is a significant step in that direction as BNB Chain NFTs will now be available for listing and sale on OpenSea, the world’s largest NFT marketplace by volume,” BNB Chain Investment Director Gwendolyn Regina said in the release. “The integration will bring a large number of creators into the wider system, as well as strengthen the creators and NFT initiatives in the BNB Chain ecosystem.”
The integration is sure to bring more users to OpenSea from the BNB Chain NFT community, with many projects likely vying for the precious spot to be listed on the massive marketplace. BNB Chain’s blockchain technology will also give OpenSea users access to the fast and affordable trading opportunity available through the popular blockchain.
“We are excited to begin leveraging Seaport across multiple blockchains, including the BNB Chain, to enhance the OpenSea experience for everyone,” added Jeremy Fine, Head of Business and Enterprise Development at OpenSea. “This update will make it easier to reach even more users and creators on the chains they prefer.”
Creators and users should take advantage of the new integration. The long-awaited merger between two previously distant parties should be a welcome sight for NFT users across all chains.
