Leading non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace OpenSea plans to integrate the Solana (SOL) blockchain with its platform. This development is long-awaited, and the general consensus is that both ecosystems involved will reap immense benefits as a result. Also, by extension, the broader NFT space will likely feed off positive sentiments from the integration.
Solana’s integration with OpenSea, the world’s largest NFT marketplace, will reportedly take place sometime in April. The growing blockchain ecosystem will be joining three other networks already on OpenSea, including Ethereum, Layer-2 Polygon, and Clayton. Consequently, SOL will also now become visible in the drop-down ‘all chains’ tab on OpenSea’s ‘Top NFTs’ rankings page.
OpenSea’s head of blockchain Adam Montgomery discussed the impending launch with a Twitter teaser:
“If you haven’t heard from me in a while…this is why. Huge effort to get this built, super proud of the team @opensea”
The statement was also accompanied by a 16-second video reel clearly teasing the integration as “The best-kept secret in web3.” Reception-wise, Montgomery’s message was well-received and has over 615,500 views, 8,964 retweets, and 21,700. Most of the strong fanfare came within eighteen hours of the info release.
Founded in 2017, OpenSea is an American online NFT marketplace headquartered in New York. On OpenSea, users can buy or sell NFTs at a fixed price or via an auction.
