How can I purchase on a different blockchain using OpenSea?

Updated this week

OpenSea is compatible with cross-chain NFT purchases, with a number of crypto tokens supported at checkout. This means you can use funds on one chain to purchase an item on another chain, without manually bridging your funds. Or, you can purchase an NFT using existing funds in your wallet, even if they're on a different chain from the NFT.

At this time, we support the following tokens as payment methods:

To use this feature, navigate to checkout for the item you want to buy. You’ll see a number of tokens appear in the Token section. Click Change to view all the tokens in your wallet that are eligible for the purchase, then click Save once you’ve selected your preferred currency.

To finalize the purchase, complete the signature request in your wallet.

Why doesn’t the cross-chain purchase feature work for me?

OpenSea currently doesn’t support purchasing cross-chain for the following scenarios. Instead, you may see an insufficient balance error. In this case, you’ll need to manually swap or bridge your funds.

  • Sweeps transactions

  • Blur listings
