Using OS’s open beta, you can buy your favorite NFTs and swap for many tokens using our site.
OpenSea enables users to access a wide array of ERC-20 token swaps using our platform via integrated liquidity aggregators. While OpenSea itself doesn’t handle these transactions, our interface connects users to these third-party services.
You can think of token swaps as trading one token for another, similar to how you might exchange currency.
These ERC-20 tokens include “memecoins,” utility tokens, in-game currencies, and more. Certain NFT communities may also launch a corresponding token alongside their NFT collection.
It’s important to understand the difference between NFTs and fungible tokens:
NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens): Unique, indivisible digital assets
Fungible Tokens: Divisible and exchangeable for equal value, like bitcoin (BTC)
Not all cryptocurrencies are currently available to swap using OpenSea at this time.
How do I access token swaps using OpenSea?
Search for the ticker (for example, $MFER) in the OpenSea search bar, or navigate to the corresponding NFT collection’s tokens tab.
Alternatively, you can also use the swap functionality in your wallet sidebar on OpenSea to swap.
Enter the amount of ETH or other token you already own that you want to swap for the corresponding token. Click Swap when you're ready.
Follow the prompts in your wallet to complete the swap.
Why aren’t all tokens displayed on OpenSea?
OpenSea generally displays tokens that are listed on CoinGecko.
If the token you created isn’t yet listed on CoinGecko, you can submit a request to CoinGecko directly to be listed.
To make sure users have a good experience, we also may choose to delist a token that has low liquidity or another issue. This means that it will not be available for swapping using OpenSea.
