OpenSea Ends Rewards Campaign, Offers Refunds Ahead of Token Delay

[tradelikepro]

Following the delay of its SEA token, OpenSea is winding down its “Waves” rewards program tied to token eligibility.

Users from later campaign phases can request refunds on platform fees—but doing so means forfeiting accumulated rewards.

The decision has sparked some community backlash, with users questioning why earlier participants weren’t offered similar refund options.

The SEA token was expected to play a central role in incentivizing users and creators within OpenSea’s expanding ecosystem.
