What is Opensea?
Opensea is an online marketplace for buying and selling digital collectibles, such as virtual in-game items, collectible cards, digital artworks and more. It allows anyone to create listings for digital goods that can be bought or sold using cryptocurrency payments. Through its decentralized network of buyers and sellers, it enables users to easily buy and sell their unique assets safely, securely, quickly and with low transaction fees.
How does Opensea work?
Opensea works by connecting buyers and sellers from around the world through a decentralized platform powered by Ethereum blockchain technology. Buyers can browse through thousands of different assets listed on the platform which are created by other users who have registered accounts on OpenSea. When a buyer finds an asset they want to purchase they simply pay for it using Ether (ETH) or another supported cryptocurrency like DAI or USDC. The payment is sent directly from the buyer’s wallet to the seller’s wallet without going through any third party service provider such as banks or other financial institutions thereby eliminating costly processing fees associated with traditional fiat currency transactions. Once payment has been received then ownership of the asset passes over automatically to the new owner via smart contracts deployed on Ethereum blockchain guaranteeing secure delivery of assets between parties involved in a transaction.
