OpenSea, a top-tier digital collectibles trading platform, is on its way to becoming "the best product in crypto, full stop." Thus, in OpenSea 2.0 release, it will not be pigeonholed as an "NFT marketplace" only, CTO Nadav Hollander points out in his introduction to the new product on X.

In particular, a novel version of the once-dominant NFT marketplace will support managing fungible and non-fungible assets alike. Also, OpenSea will be focused on setting the standard for experiences with account abstraction across multiple chains.
