NFT Marketplace OpenSea Support Network Optimism (OP)

JAKARTA A leading NFT digital art trading platform, OpenSea, recently announced that it will support layer-2 solutions Optimism (OP). This is the sixth blockchain supported by OpenSea. That way, Optimism joins another blockchain list integrated with OpenSea platforms like Solana and Polygon.

We are excited to share that @optimismFND is officially broadcast on OpenSea! We can't wait to welcome and support the Optimist community," wrote a statement from OpenSea's official Twitter account @opensea, September 27, 2022.

For information, Optimism (OP) is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. OP helps reduce transaction fees and transaction time on the Ethereum blockchain. In general, Optimism helps solve the Ethereum scalability dilemma. The scalability refers to the transaction rate per second (TPS) on the blockchain network, as reported by the official Bybit website.

OpenSea Adds NFT Collection from the Optimism Network

Because OpenSea is integrated with blockchain Optimism, the NFT trading platform adds more than 100 lists of Optimistics-based NFT collections in the marketplace. A number of NFT collections from the Optimism network include: Apepimism, Bored Town, MotorHeads, and OptiChads and others.

In a more detailed statement, OpenSea noted that each NFT creator can access their project on the OpenSea platform to set a special maker fee on the OpenSea platform. That way, they will earn as much as 10 percent of each transaction on the platform.

DailyCoin reported that before OpenSea announced that it would include a network on its platform, most of the NFTs built on Optimism were sold on the Quix NFT market. At the time of writing, the daily trading volume at Quix was $26,000 in sales. Meanwhile, trading volume for NFT OpenSea giants was more than 9.9 million US dollars during that time.

Before being integrated with optimism, OpenSea was integrated with other layer-2 blockchains such as Polygon, Solana, Klaytn, and Arbitrum. This is part of OpenSea's efforts to expand its support for layer-2 blockchains.
