The Polygon-OpenSea NFT Efficiency
Famous peer-to-peer NFT marketplace OpenSea will now host its rare digital items and crypto collectibles on Polygon. OpenSea users can now expect swift and affordable transactions—a classic Polygon Network feature. OpenSea-Polygon integration would give enhanced NFT access to the entire world. It also makes seamless the buying and minting of NFTs, simply owing low gas fees on Polygon. OpenSea can pay for the gas expenses even via offering free transactions for users. Users require gas fees only for transferring ETH funds to Polygon.
Users can also perform the following actions:
- Perform lazy minting (allowing creators to make NFTs without instantly paying gas fees).
- Do NFT payments in ETH, DAI, or USDC
- Purchase Polygon NFTs in fixed-price sales
