After activating Solana on its NFT marketplace, OpenSea announces the debut of Solana Launchpad to enable end-to-end new NFT minting.
On OpenSea, creators can now ‘navigate all pre-mint activity, allow list minting for their community and supporters, post-mint and secondary sales.’
“We’re excited to start this program with two Solana creators as part of our launchpad experience. We are excited to launch and learn with these first drops, and we’re committed to expanding primary drops on OpenSea,” notes OpenSea in their blog.
The Solana Launchpad on OpenSea kicks-off with two drops, viz. 8,888 Zoonies from July 20, 2022, and Monkai NFTs from July 26, 2022.
Receiving a $13 billion valuation, OpenSea will now exhibit Metaplex Certified Collections (MCC) plus the Solana Candy Machine programs.
