According to the foreign media 'NFT Plazas', these rumors are related to the OpenSea Foundation established in May of this year. The community found that the foundation is registered in the Cayman Islands. Although the specific purpose has not been disclosed, referring to the operations of NFT platform competitors Blur and Magic Eden, many people believe that establishing the foundation may be preparing for the upcoming token.

Foreign media pointed out that cryptocurrency-related projects often establish foundations to coordinate and promote token airdrop activities. In other words, these foundations act as token management organizations for the project parties.

In November, it announced the update of "OpenSea 2.0".

At that time, OpenSea announced the launch of a brand new concept NFT marketplace called "OpenSea 2.0", and the official statement said that the adjustment of this version is equivalent to "starting from scratch".

An NFT anonymous investor 'John.weth' first publicly revealed the interface of OpenSea 2.0 on X, and revealed that the platform will soon introduce the 'XP' points system. According to the screenshot shared by John.weth, XP represents the achievements of users on the platform, and accumulating XP points will gradually unlock more rewards.
