The NFT world’s been buzzing about a possible token airdrop from OpenSea, the OG NFT marketplace.
But rumors started swirling that OpenSea would require Know Your Customer verification for users.
OpenSea airdrop, possibility, or certainty?
So, what’s the deal here, there will be an airdrop, but not for everyone? It all started when a website link supposedly connected to the OpenSea Foundation popped up on X.
People noticed terms of service that seemed to require full KYC, including age verification and restrictions on VPNs. The crypto community wasn’t thrilled, to say the least.
OpenSea quickly jumped in to set the record straight, and told that rumors aren’t true.
“None of the rumors on X today are true.”
Official announcement?
OpenSea’s CEO, Devin Finzer, went even further, calling the claims false and explaining that the website was just a test site with some boilerplate text that wasn’t meant to be taken seriously at all.
According to Finzer, the website was linked to the OpenSea Foundation, but the terms people were freaking out about weren’t the real deal.
“There was some boilerplate language — not actual terms and conditions — on a test website for a short period of time.”
Point system, token system?
Of course, the big question remains, is OpenSea even planning an airdrop?
They haven’t officially confirmed anything, but the speculation started thanks to OpenSea’s new points system, which a lot of people see as a way to reward loyal users with tokens.
Last month, OpenSea launched its OpenSea 2.0 platform, complete with a fresh user interface and a new experience points system designed to get people more active.
The idea is that racking up these points might lead to a token reward, but OpenSea hasn’t said anything definite. For now, OpenSea is token-free.
