How does OpenSea’s rewards program work?

You can earn rewards by leveling up your Treasure Chest as you complete Voyages and buy or sell tokens and NFTs using OpenSea.

All users who level up their Treasure Chest will receive a Treasure at the end of each Rewards wave, and users who achieve significant progress may also receive prizes from our Rewards Pool, which contains NFTs and tokens distributed to the community at the end of the wave. OpenSea has committed 50% of its platform fees from NFT purchases and swaps to building the Rewards Pool.

At the end of each wave, your Treasure Chest progress resets, but you will keep any Treasures or prizes from the Rewards Pool that you successfully claimed. Wave 3 began on November 18, 2025, but progress made after 11/15 at 12pm ET will still count towards Wave 3.

The Rewards program has several components that work together to reward you for your OpenSea activity:

1. Progress through Treasure Chest levels. At the end of each rewards wave, prizes in the Rewards Pool will be distributed based on users’ Treasure Chest level. The higher your level at the end of each wave, the more exciting your reward. There are 12 levels, ranging from Wood to Solar, and each level has three tiers. For more information about how to claim your rewards from Wave 2 on or after November 18, 2025, when users received their Wave 3 starter chest, please visit our Help Center guide.

View your progress towards the next level at any time from your rewards page as a percentage. The star icons indicate your current tier within your existing level.

2. You can complete Voyages to level up your Treasure Chest. Voyages are guided journeys, and they typically involve completing on-chain actions. Voyages have five rarity levels (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary).

3. Take actions using OpenSea to level up your Treasure Chest. Purchasing NFT listings, using swaps, and making NFT offers that the seller accepts through OpenSea will earn progress toward the next level.
​
​Coinbase One users who connect their Coinbase One account to their OpenSea rewards wallet will receive a 5% boost in Treasure Chest progress for activity they complete with that wallet.

4. View the Treasures you’ve accrued on your Rewards profile. Treasures reflect your achievements within the OpenSea rewards program and are also reflective of XP you previously earned. You’ll also receive Treasure at the end of each wave based on the level you attained.
​

5. Shipments. OpenSea may deliver additional Treasure Chest progress in the form of Shipments to certain users throughout the wave based on their activity and wallet holdings. Shipments aren't guaranteed and can’t be predicted.

OpenSea has committed 50% of our platform fees from NFT purchases and token swaps to build the Rewards Pool, which contains NFTs and tokens. The rewards you will receive from the Rewards Pool depend on your Treasure Chest level at the end of each wave.

The Rewards Pool wallet address is publicly viewable, and you can track the total estimated pool value on the Rewards page.

For general information about how wallet linking works, visit our Help Center guide.
​

All OpenSea NFT and token trading activity across your linked wallets will count towards leveling up your Treasure Chest. Your chest progress is the sum of all your activity across your linked wallets. If you unlink a wallet from your primary wallet, the unlinked wallet’s earned progress remains with that wallet and is removed from your total progress across your linked wallets. You can participate in each Voyage only once, even if you’ve linked multiple wallets.

Keep in mind you should only use one Rewards account when completing Voyages on OpenSea. You should not attempt to complete Voyages multiple times by unlinking wallets from your primary wallet and completing the same Voyage on another wallet you own.

To help ensure the integrity and fairness of the Rewards program for all users, we reserve the right to restrict or disable participation by any user at our sole discretion, including but not limited to cases of suspected manipulation (including multi-wallet manipulation), abuse, violations of the Terms of Service, or behavior that we determine to be inconsistent with the spirit or intent of the program.

If this applies to you, you may see a 'Suspicious Activity Detected' message in your rewards portal or experience limited access to program features, such as being unable to claim Voyages.

This does not impact your account status on OpenSea. If you believe this decision was made in error, reach out to the OpenSea Support team.
