Project Overview
Guide
Step 1: Set Up and Connect Your Wallet Action: Use a cryptocurrency wallet compatible with OpenSea, such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or Coinbase Wallet. Ensure it supports Ethereum and other blockchains like Polygon and Solana, as OS2 operates across multiple chains.
Why: You’ll need a connected wallet to interact with OpenSea and claim the airdrop. If you’ve used OpenSea historically, stick with that same wallet to leverage past activity.
How: Visit opensea.io, click “Connect Wallet” in the top right, and follow the prompts to link your wallet. Create a profile if you haven’t already.
Step 2: Build Historical Activity (If Possible) Action: If you’re a new user, this step is less applicable, but for existing users, ensure your wallet reflects past OpenSea activity (e.g., buying, selling, or minting NFTs).
Why: The OpenSea Foundation has emphasized rewarding “historical users,” suggesting that past engagement will factor into airdrop allocation.
How: Check your wallet’s transaction history on OpenSea (via your profile) to confirm prior activity. If you’re new, start engaging now to build a record.
Step 3: Engage Actively on OpenSea 2.0 Action: Use OS2 to buy, hold, and trade NFTs and tokens, focusing on consistent, genuine activity rather than gaming the system.
Why: The current XP system rewards “buying and holding” NFTs, and active participation is a stated criterion for the airdrop. Wash trading (rapid flipping for XP) was discouraged after community backlash in February 2025.
How: Navigate to opensea.io (OS2 is live in public beta).
Purchase NFTs from popular collections (e.g., Doodles or Gemesis, which have had XP multipliers in the past).
Hold your NFTs in your wallet rather than listing them immediately.
Explore token trading features on OS2 to diversify your activity.
Step 4: Earn and Accumulate XP Points Action: Focus on earning XP through OS2’s rewards program, which may influence your airdrop allocation.
Why: Although the XP system was revised in February 2025 to pause rewards for listing and bidding, buying and holding still earn XP, and “shipments” (bonus XP drops) are distributed for specific actions.
How: Check your XP balance on the OS2 leaderboard (accessible via your profile on opensea.io).
Participate in any announced “shipment” events—e.g., holding certain NFTs has triggered past XP bonuses.
Trade collections with higher XP multipliers when highlighted by OpenSea (watch their X posts for updates).
