OpenSea has rolled out its OpenSea 2.0 (OS2) platform, featuring a redesigned user interface and a new experience points (XP) system.

This is a private beta release, with OpenSea granting free priority access to holders of its Gemesis NFTs. Other interested users have been placed on a waitlist.

In 2023, OpenSea distributed these NFTs through an airdrop to users of Gem — an NFT platform it acquired and renamed OpenSea Pro.

Recently, it took a blockchain snapshot of 49,785 wallets holding Gemesis NFTs as eligible for early access to the OS2 platform, OpenSea noted on X.

As part of its OS2 update, OpenSea implemented an experience points (XP) system aiming to incentivize user engagement. It is speculated that accumulating these points could lead to a token reward, although OpenSea has not clarified its objective beyond promoting platform activity. OpenSea has operated without a token so far.

This XP points system in OS2 mirrors the strategy previously used by OpenSea’s main competitor, Blur, to incentivize user engagement.

Users can earn XP by engaging in various activities on OpenSea — including listing items, making offers on collections, and submitting feedback to developers through the official Discord channel as part of beta testing.

While OpenSea held over 90% of the NFT marketplace volumes in 2022, its share has since fallen to 33%.

Since mid-2023, Blur has exceeded OpenSea in monthly trading volumes. In January 2025 alone, Blur has seen over $317 million in trading volume on Ethereum — more than double OpenSea’s $152 million during the month, according to The Block’s data dashboard .

In November 2024, OpenSea laid off half of its employees, with the CEO emphasizing a strategic shift towards this OS2 platform.
