Investors and creators continue to debate the criteria for OpenSea's SEA token airdrop, seeking clear guidance from platform leadership.OpenSea recently launched the OS2 open beta, sparking speculation around an imminent official SEA token update.The central dispute focuses on whether historical users should be rewarded based on past trading fees or if new engagement metrics like experience points (XP) should take priority.Some argue that only historical fees paid should determine the SEA airdrop distribution, emphasizing the importance of rewarding real value contributed over time.Others contend that past fees add no current value and advocate for incentivizing present platform usage instead.Despite XP reward mechanisms, OpenSea’s weekly trading volume has dropped by 90% from its peak, suggesting these incentives have not driven meaningful trading activity.In a positive regulatory development, the US Securities and Exchange Commission closed its investigation into OpenSea without enforcement action, potentially removing a significant barrier to the SEA token launch.Nearly three months after announcing the SEA token and OS2 beta launch, anticipation remains high as users push for transparency on the airdrop’s structure and distribution criteria.Community voices emphasize simplicity and fairness, with some calling for rewards based solely on historical contributions, while others highlight the need to encourage current and future platform engagement.As the NFT marketplace navigates these discussions and regulatory clarity, the coming weeks may be pivotal in defining how SEA tokens are allocated and how OpenSea positions itself for renewed growth.
