## About OpenSea
At OpenSea, we&#39;re excited about a brand new type of digital good called a non-fungible token, or NFT. NFTs have exciting new properties: they’re unique, provably scarce, tradeable, and usable across multiple applications. Just like physical goods, you can do whatever you want with them! You could throw them in the trash, gift them to a friend across the world, or go sell them on an open marketplace. But unlike physical goods, they&#39;re armed with all the programmability of digital goods.




## OpenSea Reviews
  ### 1. OpenSea is good for onboarding for first time NFT collectors or artists

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Prakash G. | NFT artist, Defi Trader, Financial Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2023

**What do you like best about OpenSea?**

OpenSea UI is fairly simple and minimalist.

Setting up a profile and paying gas fee to setup a creator account is also fairly easy. 

If one is an NFT collector than the homepage has many categories like art/ domain names etc

OpenSea also shows data like Top 10 NFT collections based on daily volume on the homepage so collectors can figure out the trending NFT at a quick glance

The Collections show a summary of NFT collection's performance showing a card on top.. that includes

- number of holders
- floor price
- total volume
- best offer
- % listed 

etc

**What do you dislike about OpenSea?**

I guess opensea is always behind the curve. It should have launched NFT long/short trading like NFTperp long time ago and they should support creator royalties...

Also one canno lt list more than 50 NFTs at once right now.. that number should be higher

**What problems is OpenSea solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As an NFT artist I need to only pay one time fee to register a creator account. After that I do not need to pay gas fee for every new mint as OpenSea uses the lazy minting option, as in the NFT gets listed and sold when there is a purchase made by a buyer and OpenSea takes a cut of the sale.

  ### 2. Pretty good marketplace

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bernard L. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2023

**What do you like best about OpenSea?**

Love it when you can just drop in and buy a NFT from anyone. It's delightful, and I think that it is something that you can use anytime. The fact is the interface is well designed.

**What do you dislike about OpenSea?**

You f'ing have to use ETH!!! WTH! This is an outrage. I feel like in many cases, you need ETH a lot of times. I now think that Opensea needs to liberalise and open up the crypto markeplace.

**What problems is OpenSea solving and how is that benefiting you?**

NFT PURCHASE. I use it to buy the NFTs. They are like stocks and securities except that they do not give out dividends. I use it for scouting of good products too.

  ### 3. Best NFT Platform

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Khushal S. | User Interface Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2022

**What do you like best about OpenSea?**

1- Trending and extremely attractive NFTs are available.
2- Multiple wallet support and this website also available in multiple languages.
3- We can create and mint NFTs very easily a beginner can easily use every function this platform.
4-we can add video DP (display picture ) on our profile (I love this feature most )
5- wallet support like META MASK , COINBASE , TORUS etc.
My experience - I used to create nfts on adobe illustrator I minted them on open sea and just the next day I sold one of my nft for 2$, I know it is very less but for a beginner it is okay. Highly recommended their mobile application. I made Mutant vampire ghost collection on opensea

**What do you dislike about OpenSea?**

There is nothing to dislike I love the platform and its every feature. Their gas fees are high but thanks to their developers we can mint nfts into polygon chain it is free for everyone.

**What problems is OpenSea solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I sold one of my NFTs just the next day when I published it.
I also use rarible and nft. com but I still love opensea because it has many features that rarible don't have. 
we can add video DP on our profile which give an extremely perfect look.

  ### 4. OpenSea buy sell mint NFT

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** amit g. | Systems Engineer II, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2022

**What do you like best about OpenSea?**

Provides a user friendly interface. It has massive collection of NFTs from art, music, sport, digital space. For a newbee it provides great ways to learn about minting NFTs. Minting NFT is also easy.

**What do you dislike about OpenSea?**

Though i have not personally seen it bit i heard of scams on this platform which makes it dubious to use. Plagiarism is also one of the key issue over the platform.

**What problems is OpenSea solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It provides a right world for NFTs. Having a correct and transparent mean of not only conducting business but learning as well. For someone very new to the NFTs, this iisthe best place to start diving in.

  ### 5. Opensea Is the largest marketplace for Buy and sell NFT

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Himangshu D. | Digital Marketing | Lead Generation &amp; Data Entry Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2022

**What do you like best about OpenSea?**

Opensea is the world's biggest NFT Marketplace it allows us to buy and sell a variety of NFT custom art, such as domain names, digital art, and collectibles using your Ethereum wallet. It allows me to create my own original NFT collections to sell on the primary marketplace. It is easy to use platform, and it’s one of the easiest and cheapest platforms to create NFT collections. I can easily start my own NFT collection without any knowledge of blockchain or coding skills.

**What do you dislike about OpenSea?**

OpenSea needs an Ethereum blockchain wallet to buy and sell on this platform it charges a high Gas fee for a transaction, it would be great if reduce the Gas fee or add more low gas fee cryptocurrencies.

**Recommendations to others considering OpenSea:**

OpenSea is the easiest and cheapest platform to create NFT collections I recommend those who are interested in crypto.

**What problems is OpenSea solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a small NFT art creator OpenSea open a door of opportunity to sell my creation and earn some extra money. I can make my own NFT collections on OpenSea for free and without blockchain or coding knowledge.

  ### 6. Platform for creating, buying and selling of NFTs

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Naman G. | Teaching Assistant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2022

**What do you like best about OpenSea?**

No gas fee for NFT creators until the user buys any NFT and there is a vast range of NFTs available for buying also it provides a royalty of 10% which is good. There are about 200 varieties of NFTs available on OpenSea and the user interface is quite awesome. It contains the largest market for selling and buying NFTs. The option of multi wallets is also available on this platform so one can use any crypto wallet like Ethereum wallet, Coinbase wallet, Bitski wallet, and many more.

**What do you dislike about OpenSea?**

Some other platforms provide more royalty in comparison to OpenSea which is disappointing also payment can not happen through USD or any other global currency, one needs to do the payment in form of cryptocurrency especially Ethereum which requires an Ethereum wallet. There are many cases of fraud that have been listed for the OpenSea platform.

**What problems is OpenSea solving and how is that benefiting you?**

OpenSea platform provides a user interactive platform for selling and buying NFTs using cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Dapper, and many more. It provides a wide and vivid variety of NFTs to choose from.

  ### 7. Extremely user friendly

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ben H. | CTO, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2022

**What do you like best about OpenSea?**

OpenSea definitely has the easiest user experience for any NFT marketplace.  The UX designers of OpenSea have worked to create a powerful website that also is very clean and not overwhelming.  It is easy to create NFTs on their website or to browse existing NFTs created elsewhere.  OpenSea has excellent support for both the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains.  Seeing past sales history and transfers for any NFT is very useful.  The ability to create NFTs on the polygon blockchain and only pay fees when they are first sold also lowers the barrier to entry for new creators.

The documentation offered on OpenSea for creating NFTs using OpenZepplin contracts was also incredibly well done.  This alone has likely helped onboard hundreds if not thousands of NFT creators.

**What do you dislike about OpenSea?**

OpenSea's main limitation is that it only supports a few blockchains.  Currently Ethereum, Polygon, Klatyn and Solana.  It would be nice to see a lot of other blockchains supported, especially those with low gas and environmental impacts.  Tezos and Immutable come to mind as nice possible additions.

**Recommendations to others considering OpenSea:**

It is a great marketplace and NFT creation platform as long as it supports the cryptocurrencies you want to use.

**What problems is OpenSea solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Creating and trading NFTs.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Arts and Crafts | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2022

**What do you like best about OpenSea?**

When I first learned about NFTs online I was skeptical of finding a trusted platform to trade them. But Opensea is a safe, secure and transparent marketplace where you can easily list your own art work and also buy and trade other artist's art work as well.

**What do you dislike about OpenSea?**

The gas fees can often be pretty high on OpenSea. This discourages users from trading NFTs quickly.

OpenSea has democratised NFT trading for retail consumers and thereby brought in a considerable mass of crypto-firsts to the NFT world.

Require ETH wallet. Support for other blockchains like Solana is not there. Fiat Currency is also not supported. Not a great platform for Royability-based NFTs.
