    OpenSea adds Solana NFT trading across its multi-chain marketplace

    OpenSea has added Solana NFT trading to its marketplace, allowing users to discover, buy and sell collections from the network alongside assets from more than 25 supported blockchains.

    Summary

    • OpenSea has added Solana NFT trading, letting users discover, buy and sell collections through the same marketplace that already supports Solana tokens.
    • Claynosaurz, Mad Lads, Collector Crypt and Phygitals are among the Solana NFT collections available following the Aug. 31 rollout.
    • Solana joins more than 25 blockchains supported by OpenSea as the marketplace expands its token, NFT and cross chain trading products.
    • The integration gives Solana creators another marketplace to reach collectors outside platforms focused primarily on the network.

    The digital asset marketplace said in an Aug. 31 announcement that the integration covers Solana-based collections including Claynosaurz, Mad Lads, Collector Crypt and Phygitals, extending its existing support for fungible tokens on the network.

    OpenSea brings Solana NFTs into its multi-chain marketplace

    Collectors can now browse and trade supported Solana NFTs using OpenSea without moving to a separate marketplace or changing their existing setup, according to the company. For creators on Solana, the integration provides another marketplace through which their collections can reach users outside platforms focused primarily on the network.

    OpenSea co-founder and CEO Devin Finzer said the company wants its marketplace to serve collectors regardless of which blockchain their assets use.

    “OpenSea should be the home for everything you collect, no matter which chain it lives on,” Finzer said. “Solana NFTs are now available right alongside its tokens on OpenSea. No switching wallets, no hunting across marketplaces, the whole ecosystem in one place.”

    The rollout brings collections including Claynosaurz and Mad Lads directly into OpenSea. Mad Lads, created by Backpack and launched in April 2023, consists of close to 10,000 NFTs and has developed into one of the more established collections in the Solana ecosystem. Claynosaurz launched in November 2022 around a collection of clay-styled dinosaur characters and has since expanded into animation, gaming, merchandise and other digital collectibles.

    Solana joins more than 25 networks supported by OpenSea, which now combines NFT trading, fungible token trading, cross-chain swaps and portfolio management through the same platform. The company said its marketplace has processed billions of dollars in transaction volume since launch.

    The latest rollout effectively restores a product OpenSea first experimented with more than four years ago. OpenSea introduced Solana NFT support in beta in April 2022, initially covering a limited number of collections, but the product failed to gain the same traction as Solana-focused competitors.

    Crypto.news covered the original Solana integration in 2022, when OpenSea began listing Solana collections and supporting wallets from the network.

    Solana support follows OpenSea’s OS2 expansion

    The new NFT integration comes after OpenSea rebuilt its marketplace around a multi-chain strategy that extends beyond digital collectibles.

    Its OS2 platform, released from beta in May 2025, introduced trading for fungible and non-fungible tokens and removed the need for users to manually bridge or swap assets for some cross-chain transactions. OpenSea recorded 467,322 monthly active addresses in May 2025 following the launch, up 44% from the previous month, although monthly trading volume remained at $81 million.

    OpenSea later acquired Rally Wallet in July 2025 as part of its push into mobile and token trading. Rally was designed as a mobile-first wallet for managing NFTs and fungible tokens, with plans to integrate the product into OpenSea’s services.

    Solana fungible tokens returned to OpenSea through OS2 before the latest NFT rollout. The Aug. 31 announcement now places the network’s collectibles beside tokens already available through the marketplace.

    OpenSea has continued adding products outside its original NFT business. In June, the company signaled plans to offer perpetual futures, with Product Marketing Lead Zack Brenner asking users about early access to the product.

    When asked whether the planned contracts would use Hyperliquid infrastructure, Brenner responded “YES,” though OpenSea had not provided a launch date, complete list of assets or user terms at the time. The proposed Hyperliquid-powered perpetuals would expand a platform already combining NFTs, tokens and cross-chain trading.

    OpenSea’s SEA token remains delayed

    OpenSea’s product expansion has continued while its planned SEA token remains on hold.

    The marketplace delayed the SEA token in March 2026, with Finzer citing challenging market conditions and declining to provide another launch date.

    SEA was introduced in February 2025 and had been expected to play a role in OpenSea’s plan to build what the company described as a “trade everything” application combining NFT trading with fungible tokens and other crypto products.

    Plans previously disclosed for SEA included utility and governance functions, discounted trading fees, staking tied to NFT collections and participation in platform decisions. OpenSea had initially targeted a March 30 rollout before postponing the event.

    The delay came during a weak period for NFT trading. OpenSea’s monthly NFT volume had fallen below $500 million by March, compared with levels reached during the 2021 and 2022 NFT cycle, while total NFT market capitalization had dropped by more than half from mid-January levels, according to data cited by crypto.news at the time.

    OpenSea continued its Waves rewards program following the postponement, while users who participated in Waves 3 through 6 were given the option to claim refunds on platform fees if they forfeited their Treasure Chest rewards. Finzer said the company planned a separate event focused on product updates in the following months.

    Solana remains a key market for NFT platforms

    Solana has retained a dedicated NFT marketplace ecosystem while competing platforms have changed their multi-chain strategies.

    Magic Eden, which built its early business around Solana NFTs, moved in the opposite direction from OpenSea earlier this year by closing its Bitcoin and Ethereum Virtual Machine-based NFT marketplaces. The company kept support for Solana assets as it concentrated resources on the network where much of its historical trading activity originated.

    The Magic Eden restructuring included plans to wind down its Bitcoin and EVM marketplaces in March 2026 and discontinue its multi-chain wallet, while Solana NFT support continued.

    OpenSea’s latest integration places the two marketplaces on overlapping ground again. Their competition on Solana dates back to OpenSea’s first attempt to enter the network’s NFT market in 2022, when Magic Eden had already established a strong position among Solana collectors.

    For its Aug. 31 rollout, OpenSea said the addition of Solana connects creators and collectors from the network with its existing multi-chain user base. The company identified Claynosaurz, Mad Lads, Collector Crypt and Phygitals among the collections available at launch, with support beginning Aug. 31.
