Basics

  • Based in:
  • Founded in: 2017
  • Mainnet release:

"Founded by former Pinterest engineer Devin Finzer, OpenSea has developed into the Etsy of crypto. The idea of scarcity of digital items was once unthought of, but now the largest general marketplace for crypto collectibles features more than 300 categories and over 10 million such items. Anything from CryptoKitties to artworks and game pieces can be trustlessly bought and sold by users from around the world. Having dominated the non-fungible token market, OpenSea is seeing traction outside of the crypto ecosystem by expanding into asset classes like domain names, software licenses and even physical assets."

History

"OpenSea was founded in 2017, as a product of Y Combinator’s startup accelerator program."

Audits

Bugs/Exploits

"OpenSea has now reimbursed 750 Ethereum, about $1.8 million, to users who accidentally sold valuable NFTs at well below their going market rate through an exploit involving “inactive listings.” Recently, several users of the leading NFT› marketplace had complained that their blue chip NFTs, such as those belonging to the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) collection, had been purchased at old, cheap listing prices. These listings were never canceled on the blockchain, even though the user interface on OpenSea suggested that they had been."

"OpenSea patched an actively exploited XSS vulnerability in its marketplace after it was disclosed by Check Point. The vulnerability allowed attackers to execute JavaScript code and interact with users’ wallets by airdropping specially crafted NFTs."

  • Their Head of Product Nate Chastain got caught with his hand in the cookie jar (17-9-2021):

"OpenSea has parted ways with Nate Chastain, its former head of product, after the executive was discovered profiting from the trade of NFTs based on inside information."

Governance

Admin Keys

"After a collector said he lost his NFTs in a phishing attack, the top NFT marketplace reportedly stepped in to help him recover the assets. Kramer later said tweeted that “All Apes are frozen” and that OpenSea, the biggest NFT marketplace, was helping him recover his stolen assets." The collector also mentioned that he had not been using a hardware wallet.
