Popular NFT platform OpenSea has postponed the launch date of its native token, ‘SEA’.

Accordingly, OpenSea postponed the launch of the SEA token, citing market conditions.

OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer announced this situation via a post on his X account, stating that the launch of the platform’s native token, SEA, has been postponed.

Fitzer attributed the delay to challenging conditions in the cryptocurrency market and said that because the token launch was a one-time opportunity, the team chose to focus on fixing the product’s shortcomings rather than sticking to the original timeline.

At this point, Pitzer stated, “Current market conditions are not easy. Since the SEA token will only be launched once, it’s important not to proceed before we are fully prepared. We could have brought the program forward, but ensuring the level of quality the community expects is more important.”

Fitzer noted that fifty percent of the total offering is reserved for the OpenSea community, encompassing both former users and those currently participating in the rewards program, and added that this will be the last wave of rewards.

At this point, along with the postponement, OpenSea is ending its Reward Wave program and will offer users who participated in the third through sixth reward payment periods a platform fee refund option. If the refund option is chosen, the relevant Treasures rewards will be forfeited.

Additionally, the platform will reduce transaction fees to 0% for two months starting March 31st.

Fitzer added that the initial launch date was announced too early and that future decisions and announcements would be made more cautiously.

They stated that the launch event has been postponed, but a separate event focusing on product updates will be held in the coming months.
