OpenSea unveils chests and rewards ahead of $SEA airdrop

The countdown for OpenSea’s native token has begun. The NFT marketplace confirmed its final rewards phase before the **$SEA TGE**, and thousands of users are already farming XP.

TL;DR

• 💡 Chests with 12 tiers → level up through XP and real activity.
• ⚠️ Rewards don’t guarantee $SEA, but include ARB, OP, rare NFTs.
• ✅ $SEA TGE scheduled for October 2025.

Context

OpenSea has been laying the groundwork for months. Backed by a16z, Paradigm, and Coinbase Ventures, with $425M+ raised, the platform is preparing to reward its real, active users.

Fun detail

76% of users are stuck at **Iron Chest** (150 XP). This suggests many farmers are alts or bots, leaving higher-tier rewards for consistent real users.

Impact

• Over **261,000 wallets** already farming XP.
• More than **$1.2M** in initial prizes (ARB, OP, NFTs).
• Multiple seasons within this final phase will keep momentum until the TGE.

Mini analysis

Farming $SEA isn’t a guaranteed ticket, but it’s an opportunity. The chest mechanics are designed to filter opportunists and reward genuine commitment.

Editorial opinion

OpenSea is turning its airdrop into a game: chests, quests, and seasons turn speculation into a Web3 adventure.
