"This represents an expansion of OpenSea from an NFT marketplace to a much broader platform for trading all types of digital assets," said Devin Finzer, Co-founder and CEO of OpenSea. "We think tokens and NFTs belong together in a single, powerful, delightful experience."
OpenSea Foundation, the Cayman Islands-based development organization behind the protocol, will also distribute SEA tokens offering utility on the OS2 platform.
