OpenSea
OpenSea is usually seen as the “go to place” for discovering, collecting and buying NFTs, since it’s the first and biggest marketplace in the NFT world. In the beginning of 2022, mainly Ethereum based NFTs was available at OpenSea and some based on Polygon blockchain. However, in April 2022, Solana was released and some days, it became the most used NFT related blockchain. OpenSea allow you to find interesting NFT drops, which is the same as new NFT collections released. They also have interesting trending categories worth keeping track on, and OpenSea is also the best marketplace to sell NFTs you don’t want anymore.
