OpenSea Announces SEA Token Launch for Q1 2026: 50% Community Distribution & Buyback Plan

On October 18, OpenSea Co‑Founder and CEO dfinzer.eth disclosed the forthcoming launch of the SEA token by the OpenSea Foundation. The announcement underscored that SEA is slated for a Q1 2026 debut, positioning it as a strategic instrument rather than a disposable asset.

The Foundation revealed that fifty percent of the total supply will be earmarked for the community, distributed primarily through an initial claim mechanism. Early adopters and reward‑program participants are expected to secure substantial allocations.

Tokenomics stipulate that fifty percent of initial revenue will be deployed in a buy‑back engine at launch, reinforcing scarcity. Additionally, SEA will be integrated into the OpenSea ecosystem, enabling staking of SEA to claim specific tokens and collections.
