1/ GM! We’re stoked to join @dapperlabs and many others in celebration of the first ever International NFT Day, on the 5th anniversary of the ERC-721 proposal!

As the first NFT marketplace, #NFTDay means a lot to us, and we’re humbled to be a part of this history.
2/ To celebrate, we’re featuring historical NFT collections on our homepage today. Every project is a part of NFT history, but for today’s theme, we chose projects that represented milestones for the space.
3/ Huge thanks to everyone who suggested projects in our thread yesterday! You’ll see some of your suggestions on the homepage now 👀

We love seeing communities show up for their projects. And if your project didn’t make it onto today’s features, it might in the future... 💎
4/ When OpenSea launched in 2017, we knew this technology had immense potential. It’s been so powerful to watch the space evolve over the past 5 years and we wouldn’t be here without this incredible community.

There is still so much to come 🚀
5/ Want to get involved in the festivities? Check out the events, educational materials, and more that @OfficialNFTDay put together at internationalnftday.org!

Happy #NFTDay!

1/ We’re excited to share that OpenSea will soon support @arbitrum! 💙🚀

This is a first step in building our goal of a web3 future where people have access to the NFTs they want on the chains they prefer.
2/ We’re now almost ready to onboard amazing collections like @smolverse, @GBlueberryClub, and Diamond Pepes by @dopex_io onto OpenSea. After working with the @arbitrum team and several projects on the chain, we can’t wait to meet the rest of the community!
3/ Our plan is to launch @arbitrum on OpenSea tomorrow (9/21). After launch, creators will need to find their collections in OpenSea and set their creator fees directly. We encourage creators to do this at launch to be ready for any new transactions.

1/ So..about that email…
You probably have seen the little (sometimes accidental 😅) hints we’ve been sharing about our drop with @omgkirbyDAO and @channel_tres. Today, we’re excited to officially introduce our new drop experience on ETH 🚀 opensea.io/collection/cto…
2/ This new experience will allow projects to launch right on OpenSea, and emphasizes storytelling, simplicity and security.
3/ The new drops experience also includes:
✅ Dedicated drops pages (better storytelling, NFT gallery, video trailers, etc.)
✅ Minting with SeaDrop, an open and secure minting smart contract
✅ Better discoverability on the new homepage
✅ And…you guessed it - email reminders

1/ The Merge is coming! Here’s what we’re doing to prepare…
2/ First, and most importantly, we are committed to solely supporting NFTs on the upgraded Ethereum PoS chain.
3/ While we won’t speculate on potential forks–to the extent forked NFTs on ETHPoW exist–they won’t be supported or reflected on OpenSea.

1/ Can we address the 🐘 in the room? We want to provide you more clarity and transparency around our stolen items policy ↯
2/ Our policy is designed to keep our community safe, but we know in some cases its side effects have damaged your trust in our platform. We’ve failed to proactively and transparently communicate the rationale behind our approach.
3/ We're in this together: as we work to make our users safer, it's on us to keep you in the know.

1/ A few months ago, we announced some big changes to our verification/badging process and an automated system to help identify, remove, and prevent copymints on OpenSea.

We’ve made some great progress, & wanted to share an update 👇
opensea.io/blog/announcem…
2/ We now respond to 90% of verification requests that come in through our new process within 1 day. By adding more verified collections, we have a larger arsenal of authentic content from which to detect copymints.
3/ Starting this week, we’re expanding account verification & collection badging even further:

Any account with more than 75 ETH of collection volume (down from 100 ETH in May) will be invited to apply for verification.

1/🧵We’ve been seeing a lot of chatter lately about Solana marketplaces taking custody of NFTs, so we wanted to share our POV on custodial listings
2/ Marketplaces should not require taking ownership of your NFT in order to list it for sale.

This practice is more common with Solana NFTs. While some marketplaces require sellers to custody their listed NFTs, OpenSea does not. Here’s why ↯
3/ We believe marketplaces that custody your NFTs limit choice and utility, and compromise security.

Who benefits from custodying? The marketplace.
