OpenSea

OpenSea is the world’s largest decentralized non-fungible marketplace where users can easily buy, sell and trade non-fungible tokens or NFTs. NFTs are unique, non-fungible, collectible digital assets that have a monetary value associated with them. One NFT is unique in itself and cannot be traded with another NFT for the same value. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) can be in-game items, avatars, trading cards, music, art, etc.

OpenSea calls itself the world’s first and largest NFT marketplace. Just as you can buy physical goods in a marketplace, OpenSea is an application where digital assets like NFTs are available for purchase and sale. OpenSea was founded by Alex Atallah and Devin Finzer in 2017 in New York City. Soon, the duo entered the company into the famed Y combinator startup accelerator and received a hefty amount of $2.7 million as funds. Non-fungible tokens started catching fire during the bull run of 2021.
