In June, OpenSea introduced Seaport — a brand new, open-source, #Web3 marketplace protocol for safely & efficiently buying & selling NFTs. Launched first on Ethereum, Seaport has helped create a more feature-rich experience at a lower cost.
After several months observing Seaport and collecting valuable feedback about it from our community, #Polygon has officially moved over to Seaport.
Previously, #Polygon on OpenSea was powered by the 0x protocol.This move to Seaport provides a more stable buying and selling experience that matches other chains. Plus, it comes with some cool new features 👇
No purchase thresholds: Users can list and buy Polygon NFTs at any price, Seaport has eliminated the $5 minimum. There will now be a $1 minimum on offers to help prevent low intent offers.
Native token support: Buyers and sellers will be able to list and transact in $MATIC.
Collection offers: Collections with under 100k items will have offers available on every item in the collection.
Attribute offers: Offers for all items in a collection that match the attribute will be available if enabled by the creator.
Multiple creator fees: Creators can specify multiple payout addresses which will be paid out in real-time, up to max. four creators.
English and Dutch auctions: Sellers will be able to run English (ascending bid) auctions and Dutch (descending bid) auctions.
List as bundles: Sellers can list Polygon NFTs as bundles that can be purchased together.
Purchase for another wallet: Buyers can purchase for another wallet - e.g. a gift for a friend or for hardware or multisig wallet.
Due to this shift, OpenSea now supports the use of $MATIC, Polygon's native token, as a payment option. Anyone transacting #onPolygon will now be required to pay for their own gas fees for transacting on OpenSea using $MATIC.
$MATIC is also available for purchase using MoonPay or on any exchange where $MATIC is offered.
This is one of the most exciting news for artists, collectors and the Polygon community at large. Learn more about Seaport here:
