OpenSea, the pioneering NFT marketplace, is gearing up to release its native token, SEA, by the first quarter of 2026.

Co-founder Devin Finzer described SEA as the cornerstone of OpenSea’s evolving identity, representing the platform’s vision for a more open and liquid onchain economy. Half of SEA’s supply will go to the community, distributed via an initial claim process prioritizing loyal users, while 50% of launch revenue will be used for token buybacks to reinforce liquidity.

The token will also support staking, allowing holders to earn rewards while supporting network growth. Finzer emphasized that the token generation event (TGE) is a pivotal moment for the platform’s next phase.
