The world’s largest NFT marketplace, OpenSea, has all but confirmed that it will begin supporting non-fungible tokens from the Solana chain in April via tweet made on Tuesday.
Solana Is Coming to OpenSea
Since its launch, OpenSea has mainly supported Ethereum-based NFTs, but expanded to include Klaytn and Klaytn NFTs in May and October of 2021.
In a “wen Solana?” video released on March 29th, OpenSea teased an April listing but withheld the exact date for when Solana NFTs will become available on the leading NFT marketplace.
This has been one of the most anticipated events in the NFT space and will be a dream come true for many investors. In late January, tech blogger Jane Manchun Wong spotted telltale signs that OpenSea was readying support for Solana digital wallets.
Solana is the fourth largest NFT chain in the industry, with collectibles worth $115.9 million. According to data tracker CryptoSlam, Solana has the second-highest number of all-time NFT sales, trailing only to market-leader Ethereum.
Once the support is complete, Solana will become the fourth chain whose NFTs can be traded on OpenSea.
