The company has unveiled a set of major updates that could reshape how people trade and collect in Web3.
From an AI-powered mobile app to a rewards system funneling millions of dollars into community prizes, the marketplace is making big moves. It is positioning itself as both a trading hub and a cultural home for digital assets.
A Smarter Mobile Experience
NFT trading has long been fragmented across platforms, wallets, and chains. OpenSea’s new OS Mobile aims to change that. The app brings wallets, tokens, NFTs, and cross-chain activity into one unified interface. Instead of hopping between apps or worrying about chain compatibility, users can now manage their entire portfolio from their pocket.
What makes the launch even more noteworthy is the role of artificial intelligence. OpenSea is debuting “OpenSea Intelligence,” a tool that analyzes portfolios across chains and suggests smarter, faster trading choices in real time. This represents one of the first true AI-native trading experiences in crypto, setting the stage for a more intuitive onchain economy.
Today we’re introducing:
– OS Mobile: a beautiful trading experience powered by AI
– Flagship Collection: honoring web3’s cultural heritage
– Final Rewards Phase: 50% of platform fees funding millions in token & NFT prizes
– $SEA Update: details in early OctoberLearn more ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/EfsjucUeSR

The move comes as mobile-first adoption grows rapidly. According to DappRadar, more than 70 percent of Web3 traffic now comes from mobile devices. OpenSea’s bet on seamless, AI-powered trading aligns with this shift and could help onboard the next wave of collectors who want simplicity without sacrificing control.
Rewards Vault Goes Live
Alongside the mobile launch, OpenSea has introduced the final phase of its pre-token rewards program. Starting September 15, half of all platform fees—1 percent for NFTs and 0.85% for tokens—will be redirected into a prize vault. That vault already includes $1 million worth of OP and ARB tokens. This is what the Co-Founder and CEO of OpenSea said about these announcements:
I’ve been building OpenSea since 2017. I can safely say it’s my life’s work, and it comes with the conviction to take big swings.
With OS2, we decided to rebuild our tech, product, and operating culture from the ground up. We deliberately “slowed down to speed up”.

Users will be rewarded through a gamified system centered on Treasure Chests. By trading across 22 supported chains, completing daily Voyages, and unlocking surprise Shipments, players can level up their chests. Higher levels mean better rewards, which may include rare NFTs like Pudgy Penguins or Bored Apes.

Historical platform activity will also be recognized with allocations of $SEA, OpenSea’s upcoming token. This approach mirrors a growing trend in crypto where platforms use rewards not just to attract users but to honor long-term community members. Coinbase’s Base chain and Blur’s airdrops have shown how powerful these incentives can be in driving engagement.
