OpenSea Adds Solana NFTs as Market Competition Shifts

TLDR

• OpenSea has added full Solana NFT trading support, allowing users to buy, sell, and trade Solana-based collectibles.
• The rollout builds on OS2, which already supported Solana fungible tokens before adding NFT functionality.
• Solana becomes OpenSea’s first non-EVM network for NFT trading since its earlier 2022 beta ended.
• Users can now access collections such as Mad Lads, Claynosaurz, BoDoggos, Collector Crypt, and Phygitals.
• OpenSea is expanding its multi-chain strategy as the broader NFT market continues to operate well below its 2021 and 2022 trading peaks.

OpenSea has expanded its marketplace by adding support for Solana NFT trading, giving users access to buy, sell, and trade digital collectibles issued on the Solana blockchain. The move brings Solana NFTs back to OpenSea after an earlier beta launch failed to gain strong market share. The latest integration runs on OS2, OpenSea’s rebuilt multi-chain platform. The company had already added Solana fungible token trading in April 2025 and said NFT support would follow.

OpenSea Adds Solana NFT Trading to OS2

OpenSea first tested Solana NFTs in April 2022. That beta covered about 165 collections, but Solana-focused marketplaces such as Magic Eden and Tensor handled most trading activity across the network.

The new rollout gives OpenSea users access to Solana collections including Claynosaurz, Mad Lads, BoDoggos, Collector Crypt, and Phygitals. Solana also becomes OpenSea’s first non-EVM network for NFT trading since the earlier beta ended.

OpenSea completed the public rollout of OS2 in May 2025. The platform supports NFTs and fungible tokens across more than 19 blockchain networks, shifting the marketplace toward a wider on-chain trading model.

Its supported networks include Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Base, Monad, Sei, and Berachain. Solana adds a different blockchain design to that list and broadens the range of assets available to users.

Solana Returns as NFT Competition Changes

The Solana NFT market has also changed since OpenSea’s first attempt. Magic Eden recently closed its Bitcoin and EVM marketplaces as it shifted more attention back to Solana, while Tensor remains active in the ecosystem.

OpenSea enters that market as wider NFT trading remains far below its 2021 and 2022 peaks. Monthly marketplace volumes now stand at a few hundred million dollars, compared with billions during the earlier boom.

Several NFT platforms have reduced or ended operations as trading activity weakened. Binance closed its centralized NFT service in June, while Nifty Gateway, Kraken NFT, and X2Y2 have also shut their marketplaces.

OpenSea’s Solana rollout follows changes to its wider business. The company also moved beyond NFTs by supporting fungible tokens and has discussed a future SEA governance token, although that launch has faced delays.

The company said OS2 aims to bring several types of on-chain assets into one interface, giving traders access to collectibles and tokens without switching across multiple separate marketplace products.
