OpenSea, the world’s largest NFT marketplace, has announced the launch of OpenSea Pro (formerly known as Gem v2), a powerful NFT marketplace aggregator designed to meet the needs of power NFT collectors. The acquisition of Gem, the leading NFT aggregator, in April 2022 enabled OpenSea to support the growing NFT community and offer more.
OpenSea Pro introduces a new level of optionality, selection, and control for pro collectors. With advanced features and a vastly improved suite of tools, OpenSea Pro allows collectors to discover the best deals and insights across 170 marketplaces and access sophisticated tools that meet their need for automation.

One of the most notable features of OpenSea Pro is its live cross-marketplace data that updates user and collection activity across NFT marketplaces in real-time. This allows collectors to stay ahead of the game and make informed buying and selling decisions.
OpenSea Pro also offers advanced orders that enable collectors to sweep across the deepest liquidity of any NFT marketplace aggregator. With more control over purchases, trait collection offers, and listings, collectors can upgrade their buying experience by setting orders based on maximum item price, item amount, traits, and more.
Powerful inventory management is another notable feature of OpenSea Pro. Collectors can effortlessly buy, sell, and manage items across marketplaces, all while tracking their analytics at the wallet, collection, and item-level.
OpenSea Pro’s gas-optimized smart contracts make it the most efficient place to purchase items across marketplaces. The platform also has a fully optimized mobile version, making it accessible from anywhere.
To serve a range of users, OpenSea has built different platforms. OpenSea Pro exists primarily to serve the power user community, who represent an important part of today’s ecosystem. Different users have different needs, and OpenSea’s platforms will reflect the needs of these distinct user segments in user interfaces, features, and fee structures.
Is an OpenSea / Gem Token coming?
At the moment, OpenSea has not made any official announcements about releasing a token. However, there have been reports that the platform is following in the footsteps of other marketplaces, such as Blur, and exploring the idea of tracking usage to potentially release a token at a future date. This is an exciting development that could provide more opportunities for NFT collectors and sellers to earn rewards and incentivize usage on the platform. With OpenSea’s focus on innovation and evolution, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the platform continue to explore new ways to enhance the NFT marketplace experience for all users.
OpenSea Pro has no additional fees, and for a limited time, users can list on OpenSea with 0% fees through OpenSea Pro. In the long run, OpenSea will focus on improved discovery, simpler onboarding, more mainstream payment options, and a greater investment in creator tools, including Drops.
To celebrate the launch of OpenSea Pro, the Gem team has announced the ‘Gemesis’ NFT drop, a special ‘thank you’ for Gem’s early adopters. Qualified users who bought an NFT on Gem before March 31, 2023, will be able to claim a free Gemesis NFT through May 4, 2023.
OpenSea’s work to expand the NFT ecosystem and welcome the next 100 million people is just beginning. Focusing on different audiences with different platforms will help create a better user experience for these increasingly distinct categories of collectors. Community rewards will also be available, with NFTs featured as rewards, separate from the commemorative Gemesis NFT.
Overall, OpenSea Pro is a game-changer for power NFT collectors, offering advanced tools, live cross-marketplace data, and optimized gas fees. The platform is set to take the NFT marketplace experience to the next level, and with the support of the NFT community, OpenSea will continue to innovate and evolve
