Opensea has officially launched its OS2 platform, which is a main update that introduces new user interface and experience points (XP) system to encourage more users to participate.
The platform is currently a private Beta and provides an exclusive early visit to Gemesis NFTS’s holders, which has caused major strong opposition from long -term users.
These users (many of them are an indispensable part of Opensea’s success), although they have made extensive activities and contributions to the platform, they are frustrated to being excluded in Beta.

The OS2 platform brings some significant changes to the user interface of OpenSea, which aims to make navigation more intuitive and provide a simpler experience for its users.
One of the most noteworthy addresses is the XP system, which allows users to accumulate points such as list projects, collectibles to quote, and interactive points for interacting with the platform’s Discord community. The system aims to motivate frequent activities and participation of the entire platform, thereby increasing participation.
The platform’s private Beta is currently only applicable to Gemesis NFT only after the qualified wallet blockchain snapshot. This move can access those who hold these specific token as soon as possible, thereby effectively limiting the access authority of only 49,785 users.

Decision to visit OS2 Private Beta based on Gemesis NFT ownership of OS2 has aroused universal dissatisfaction with OpenSea’s existing user base. Many users, especially high -volume traders who contribute millions of dollars to the platform, are depressed to be excluded in Beta. Some people believe that OpenSea should be able to reward its broader loyal user communities through AirDrop or other tolerance methods, rather than creating obstacles based on NFT ownership.
The XP system itself is compared with the reward system of the competitive platform, especially blurred. Some users believe that the XP system is similar to the “farming” model used by Blur. In this model, it inspires users to perform specific operations, such as placing bidding to win rewards. The community believes that this method is given priority to activities instead of the actual participation with the platform, which has caused people to worry, that is, it may cause behavior to be more traded than community -centered.
In order to cope with the rebound, the CEO and co -founder of OpenSea, Devin Finzer, resolved the concerns of social media and emphasized that the platform did not forget its early supporters. Although rest assured, many users still have doubts about the priority of the platform.
