How does OpenSea’s rewards program work?

Updated yesterday

The latest version of OpenSea's Rewards program launched on September 15th, 2025. 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 the Rewards season, and users who achieve significant progress may also have the opportunity to receive prizes from our Rewards Pool, which contains NFTs and tokens for awarding back to our user community at the end of the season. OpenSea has committed 50% of its platform fees from NFT purchases and swaps to building the Rewards Pool.

Previously, OpenSea’s Rewards program enabled you to earn XP, a term OpenSea used to refer to points. XP you previously earned will convert into Treasure in this phase of the rewards program. The Treasure tier you receive will be reflective of the amount of XP you earned.

Rewards program components

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

1. Progress through Treasure Chest level. At the end of the rewards season, prizes in the Rewards Pool will be distributed based on users’ Treasure Chest level. The higher your level at the end of each season, the more exciting your reward. There are 12 levels, ranging from Wood to Solar, with three tiers each.

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

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

3. You can level up your Treasure Chest with your OpenSea activity. Purchases of OpenSea NFT listings, initiating token swaps using OpenSea, and accepted OpenSea offers you make will level up your chest.

4. View the Treasures you’ve accrued on your Rewards profile. Treasures are reflective of 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 the season based on the progress you’ve made leveling up your Treasure Chests.

5. Shipments. OpenSea may deliver additional Treasure progress to certain users throughout the season based on their activity and wallet holdings. Shipments are not guaranteed and can’t be predicted.

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.

How does the Rewards Pool work?

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 season.

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

How do linked wallets work?

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

All 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.

Within your Rewards account, you can participate in each Voyage only one time with one wallet, even if you’ve linked others to the same account.

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.

Program integrity

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.

Rewards FAQ

Are all NFT purchases and token swaps eligible to earn rewards?

Private listings and wrapping/unwrapping ETH/WETH are not eligible to earn rewards.

Purchasing any other OpenSea listing, swap using OpenSea, or having one of your OpenSea offers you made accepted contributes to leveling up your Treasure Chest.

Can I lose my rewards progress?

OpenSea reserves the right at its sole discretion to remove Treasures or Treasure Chest progress from any account that undermines the integrity of our platform, tries to manipulate or abuse the rewards program, or otherwise violates our Terms of Service.

Can I appeal if I think my rewards progress is wrong?

OpenSea is unable to manually allocate rewards to user accounts by request. However, if you think you’ve uncovered a significant bug, please speak with a member of our support team here in our Help Center.

I previously earned XP during the listings/offers rewards program, private beta, or previously completed Voyages. Is my progress accounted for?

For those who have been participating in our rewards program prior to 9/15/25, your progress has been stored into your first four Treasures, reflecting your feedback contributions, beta and wave 1 XP, and the number of shipments you successfully earned.

Treasures issued prior to 9/15/25 have six tiers, and Treasure issued on 9/15/25 for the Voyages stage of rewards has twelve tiered versions available based on your previous activity. These Treasures will be meaningfully considered by the OpenSea Foundation.
