NFT marketplace users

In the OpenSea, Base network takes the largest share of 58% of users, while the rest were shared by Ethereum, Polygon and ApeChain. Base is a Layer 2 (L2) blockchain built on top of Ethereum by Coinbase. It leverages Optimistic Rollups to enhance the scalability of the Ethereum network, offering faster and cheaper transactions while maintaining the security of the main Ethereum chain.

Founded in 2017, OpenSea is a popular decentralized marketplace where users can buy, sell, and trade NFTs. It’s the first and largest peer-to-peer marketplace for blockchain-based digital items, offering a user-friendly interface to interact with the blockchain. OpenSea supports various NFT categories, including art, music, domain names, and virtual real estate. It was founded by Devin Finzer and the team.

Magic Eden Takes 21% Of Daily NFT Users

Magic Eden, another leading multi-chain NFT marketplace, distantly follows OpenSea, with just 4,500 users, taking 21% of the total daily marketplace users. Magic Eden is a cross-chain NFT marketplace, previously known for its presence on the Solana blockchain network, but now also supporting Ethereum, Polygon, Bitcoin and other blockchain networks. Blur, Tensor and OKX NFT marketplaces also appear in the top five NFT marketplace chart with less than 1,000 users.

The increase in activity came hand in hand with growing excitement for OpenSea’s native token, $SEA, an airdrop, which is expected to be distributed to active NFT marketplace users in the soon-to-happen token generation event. $SEA airdrop is OpenSea’s marketing strategy aimed at raising awareness, promoting adoption, and generating excitement for its new upgraded OS2 trading platform.

Launched this past month, the OS2 marketplace contains a newly integrated token swap feature and an improved rewards program designed to stimulate platform usage. These updates show that OpenSea has intentions beyond just being a marketplace. This upgraded platform brought with it a slew of new features, such as the support for a very diverse lineup of 19 blockchains, which most of OpenSea’s competitors, like Magic Eden and Blur, do not offer.
