OpenSea has recently announced the launch of OpenSea Pro, its new NFT marketplace aggregator catering to the needs of professional users. The platform is aimed at providing a new level of optionality, selection, and control for professional collectors, offering a suite of improved features that enable collectors to discover the best deals and insights across 170 marketplaces and access sophisticated tools that meet their need for automation.
OpenSea Pro’s advanced orders feature allows users to “sweep across the deepest liquidity of any NFT marketplace aggregator,” giving users more control over their purchases. Additionally, the platform is optimized for mobile devices, allowing users to browse, sweep, and list from their phones.
OpenSea Pro’s launch is the result of OpenSea’s acquisition of NFT aggregator Gem in April 2022. OpenSea developed and refined Gem’s platform to create the new OpenSea Pro, which seeks to offer a suite of features that professional collectors need.
Listing on OpenSea Pro
Users can list on OpenSea with 0% fees through OpenSea Pro for a promotional period, with no additional fees. Additionally, to express gratitude to Gem’s early adopters, the Gem team is providing a special “thank you” in the form of a Gemesis NFT drop to coincide with the launch of OpenSea Pro. Eligible users who purchased an NFT on Gem before March 31 can claim a free Gemesis NFT until May 4.
OpenSea vs. Blur
In February, OpenSea implemented a strategy to win back its NFT user base, which had been lost to rival NFT marketplace Blur. Blur had surpassed OpenSea in daily Ether (ETH) trading volume as users sought a trading platform that favored their NFT investments. To counter this, OpenSea implemented a 0% fee policy to attract users back to its platform.
Overall, OpenSea Pro’s advanced features and improved tools cater to the needs of professional NFT collectors, and its mobile optimization enables users to access the platform from anywhere. With the 0% fee policy and promotional listing fees, OpenSea Pro is set to compete strongly in the crowded NFT marketplace industry.
