The popular NFT marketplace, OpenSea, has launched support for Avalanche, expanding access to NFT Avalanche and enabling users to benefit from faster, low-fee transactions.
OpenSea adds support for NFT Avalanche
OpenSea, the popular NFT marketplace, has added support for the Avalanche Blockchain and invites creators to share their collections on the platform.
We’re excited to onboard amazing collections like @chikn_nft, @taptapkaboom, @GabrielJWeis, @playcastlecrush and @OpenBlox_io to OS.
After working with the @avalancheavax 🔺 and several projects, we can’t wait to meet the rest of the community.https://t.co/cZm0FJ0I1O

However, OpenSea is not the first marketplace for Avalanche NFTs. In fact, it joins major marketplaces such as Joepegs, Kalao, Campfire and NFTrade that already offer the Avalanche community a place to display, list and trade NFTs.
In this regard, Dominic Carbonaro, Business Development Lead, NFTs and Arts at Ava Labs said:
“Avalanche’s NFT community has a unique identity and passion for experimenting with both the art and applications of NFTs, and creators here are still just scratching the surface. We’re excited to welcome the OpenSea community to Avalanche, and expand the reach of Avalanche NFTs into new territory.”
OpenSea opens the door to Avalanche NFTs with faster, low-fee transactions
OpenSea’s main goal is to help creators, collectors and contributors engage with NFTs in more chains and provide the best possible selection.

At the same time, users who choose Avalanche NFTs on OpenSea will benefit from the fastest finalization time for NFT transactions – regularly settling transactions in less than a second – and consistently low transaction fees.
Not only that, OpenSea users who have not yet explored Avalanche now have access to its robust NFT community, which has seen total NFT volume increase by 180% since the second quarter of 2022.
At launch, more than 10 native Avalanche projects will be on OpenSea, with more to come.
Becoming more “immersive”
While on the one hand, with Avalanche, the Non-Fungible Token marketplace OpenSea is thinking about its expansion, on the other hand, it had announced last month that it wants to become “more immersive.”
A goal that includes updating the platform’s minting and drop experience.
Basically, one of the updates will involve the ability to launch one’s own minting collections directly on the OpenSea page, which includes minting information, countdown to drop, and a gallery to showcase NFTs.
In this regard, it was also announced that a smart contract named SeaDrop will be introduced on OpenSea that will allow creators to mint precisely directly on the NFT marketplace.
