Removal of BNB Smart Chain Support
OpenSea has decided to cease its support for NFTs created on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), also known as the BNB Smart Chain. The company’s rationale for this decision stems from the strategic allocation of resources towards the most promising endeavors.
The decision-making process led OpenSea to the conclusion that the benefits of discontinuing BSC support outweigh any potential drawbacks. The company shared this information through a post on its official social media channels.
Immediate Changes and Continued Access
Effective immediately, users will no longer have the ability to create new offers or establish listings for BSC NFTs on OpenSea’s platform. However, the platform emphasizes that users will still retain the capability to access, discover, and transfer their existing BSC NFTs within the ecosystem.
This strategic adjustment is expected to allow OpenSea to streamline its resources and maintain alignment with the dynamic innovations taking place within the broader NFT ecosystem.
Impact on Supported Blockchains
With this change, OpenSea’s list of supported blockchains has been reduced to 10. The remaining supported blockchains include Arbitrum, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Base, Ethereum, Klaytn, Optimism, Polygon, and Zora.
