OpenSea launches advanced NFT marketplace aggregator


The OpenSea NFT marketplace has sleepless OpenSea Pro, your new non-fungible token (NFT) Market aggregator intended to meet the needs of professional users. OpenSea's acquisition of NFT aggregator Gem in April 2022 allowed it to develop and refine the Gem platform to create the new OpenSea Pro.

According to the announcement, OpenSea Pro seeks to offer a new level of optionality, selection and control for professional collectors. The platform plans to offer an enhanced feature set that enables collectors to discover the best deals and information in 170 markets and access sophisticated tools that meet their need for automation.

In addition, OpenSea Pro has introduced an "advanced orders" feature that allows users to "sweep through the deepest liquidity of any NFT marketplace aggregator", giving users more control over their purchases. OpenSea Pro is also mobile friendly and optimized for mobile devices, allowing users to browse, search and create listings from their phones.

The platform shared that users can sign up for OpenSea with 0% fees through OpenSea Pro during a promotional period, which has no additional fees. To express their gratitude to the early adopters of Gem, the Gem team is offering a special "thank you" in the form of a Gemesis NFT release to coincide with the release of OpenSea Pro. Eligible users who purchased an NFT on Gem before the 31st of March 2023 can claim a free Gemesis NFT until May 4, 2023.

In 2022, OpenSea acquired Gem for an undisclosed amount to improve the experience of its most experienced โ€œproโ€ users. Gem allowed traders to buy NFTs across multiple collections and multiple marketplaces in a single transaction, lowering gas fees.

In February, OpenSea implemented a strategy to recover your NFT user base, which had lost out to rival NFT marketplace Blur. Blur had outperformed OpenSea on the Ether daily (ETH) the trading volume, as users were looking for a trading platform that favored their NFT investments. To counter this, OpenSea implemented a 0% fee policy to attract users to its platform.
