OpenSea, a marketplace for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), is now supporting digital collectibles minted on Avalanche, a layer-1 Proof-of-Stake blockchain. In an interview with TechCrunch, Shiva Rajaraman, VP of product at OpenSea, said that with the integration the marketplace wanted to stick to its vision where the future of Web3 is multichain.
However, the integration won't be immediate as Avalanche-based NFT collections will be featured on the marketplace over time, the report notes. John Wu, president of Ava Labs, said that the firm choose OPENSEA due to its "vibrant creator and NFT community, and they wanted OpenSea as a choice."
Besides Avalanche, OpenSea also supports other blockchain networks like Ethereum and sidechains, including Polygon. The move comes just a few weeks after OpenSea added support for Arbitrum, a second-layer scaling solution for Ethereum.
