Ronin Blockchain and OpenSea have joined forces, allowing users to trade and launch Ronin NFTs on the largest NFT marketplace. This integration marks a significant milestone for both platforms, with Ronin becoming the 17th supported blockchain on OpenSea. The collaboration reconnects the founders of OpenSea and Axie Infinity, who first met in the CryptoKitties Discord community back in 2018.
Ronin NFTs are now accessible on OpenSea’s OS2 marketplace, offering cross-chain purchases and token swaps. Collectors can easily acquire NFTs from popular Ronin-based games like Axie Infinity and Awaken Hunter. OpenSea collects platform fees to maintain its marketplace, with 8% of the fees from Ronin trades going directly to the Ronin Treasury.
According to Dune Analytics, OpenSea dominated the NFT market last week, accounting for 40.1% of the total trading volume and 78.8% of all trades. This launch brings Ronin NFTs to over 3 million active OpenSea users, opening up new opportunities for creators and collectors alike.
Creators can now launch NFT collections on Ronin via OpenSea Studio without the need for coding skills. They can earn royalties on every secondary sale and reach a global audience. Ronin Market enforces creator royalties, with plans to align royalties across both platforms for ERC-721/1155 collections.
For collectors, this integration provides a one-stop marketplace for gaming-focused NFTs backed by Ronin’s speed and affordability. With projects like Awaken Hunter and Capy Game Agents easily accessible, collectors can explore immersive Web3 gaming without leaving OpenSea. Axie Infinity’s 2.4 million daily users ensure a constant influx of fresh content for collectors of all levels.
Looking ahead, the collaboration between OpenSea and Ronin strengthens multi-chain capabilities and sets the stage for OpenSea’s upcoming $SEA token launch. For Ronin, this partnership expands its audience and enhances the visibility of its gaming ecosystem. The future of the OpenSea-Ronin relationship holds promise for the NFT gaming community, offering new possibilities for creators and collectors in the rapidly evolving world of blockchain technology.
