✨ New at OpenSea: "SOS" Button
In the interest of protecting users on OpenSea from phishing attacks and other forms of theft, we've rolled out a feature that allows users to disable OpenSea trading for NFTs in their account if they believe their wallet has been compromised.

If you notice a delta between the reported floor price and the lowest-priced item in a collection, let us know.

OpenSea now has a status page at status.opensea.io where we'll be documenting system outages, performance degradations, etc.
Performance and stability have suffered during this period of hyper-growth, but we're heavily prioritizing this category of issues.

📢 Private sales on OpenSea (sales set for specific buyers) will now use the same sale structure as public sales.
This means that creators will receive their specified royalties for sales of items in their collection regardless of whether those sales are public or private.

We've spoken with the MetaMask team and they will be temporarily disabling the mobile QR code sync feature to defend against the phishing attacks that have become more prevalent in recent weeks.

Saddened to hear an OpenSea user was the victim of a significant phishing attack last night.
The scammer masquerades as an OpenSea employee and has the user scan a QR code granting wallet access.
Please be vigilant and direct support requests through our Help Center/ZenDesk.

📊Yesterday OpenSea set a new record for volume in a 24h period: $125 million. That was yesterday.
Today we smashed that.
The new record for daily volume on OpenSea is $195 million USD. 🚀

📢 PSA: Phishing scams have become increasingly prevalent in the crypto space.

Small update on OpenSea offer management: We've made it easier to make offers by bringing that action above-the-fold on item pages.
We're currently building a more robust offer management system (min offers, ability to hide offers for certain items/collections).

There are a few features that I think could greatly curb fraud on OpenSea during launches. Wanted to poll for thoughts on one proposal:
"Endorsements" - showing the # of users, including any verified OpenSea users, who endorse a project. Social proof as a trust indicator.

🔧 OpenSea Update: Collection Page
We've made some updates to collection pages:
1. They're now sorted Price: Low to High by default.
2. Filters/traits are now accessible in a sidebar.
3. Searching for a collection brings you to that collection page rather than the search view.

We're interested in identifying ways to better communicate that a new project is trustworthy/authentic. Currently we over-index on volume to the detriment of smaller creators.
Which properties instill trust (which sanity checks do you employ) when considering an NFT purchase?

Note to the OpenSea community on referral payouts: We’ve temporarily suspended referrals until we can roll out some changes including a streamlined payout process and referral support on Polygon. We'll still be paying out referrals (above the threshold) up to today.

You can now create NFTs without first creating a collection.
Access the new creation flow from the navbar. Items without a collection will be added to a default collection we generate for each account.

Additionally, as a buyer safety measure we now restrict bundling to items with the same verification status. This will prevent bad actors from bundling a fake item with a real item and conning someone into buying the mixed set.

CoinTelegraph just "quoted" me in an article by republishing a tweet unrelated to the article's subject, framing it as my response. The tweet's not embedded, so its actual context is not clear.
They never asked me for a response.
