OpenSea Announces Redeemable NFT Standard, Will Roll Out Chain Redeemable Support to All Creators

OpenSea announced the release of two Ethereum comment requests (ERC-7496 and ERC-7498) and two Seaport improvement proposals (SIP-14 and SIP-15) to promote the development of a redeemable ecosystem. Redeemable NFTs allow redemption to receive another on-chain or off-chain item. OpenSea has released a public concept validation to illustrate the experience, allowing the casting of Baby Burn eggs on the OpenSea Drop page, and then proceeding to the exchange page to destroy the egg and exchange it for Burnie.

Afterwards, OpenSea will directly launch on-chain redeemable support to all creators on OpenSea, and will also expand the on-chain redemption standard, allowing creators to more easily link items in their series to off-chain exchange experiences outside of OpenSea, while still tracking the redemption status on-chain through features or destruction.

  • The 133rd Ethereum ACDC meeting: The goal is to complete the devnet within 7-10 days

    The Ethereum developers held their 133rd ACDC conference call. First, they outlined the latest research on Ethereum protocol confirmation rules. Then, they discussed Pectra updates related to EIP-7547 and CFI states, and decided to put them on hold temporarily. They also updated the v1.5.0-alpha.1 specification. Regarding the implementation updates for devnet-0, most teams are making progress, but there are also some unexpected complexities. The goal is to complete devnet within 7-10 days.
  • The Future of Ethereum: Use Cases (Part 1)

    In our 4-part series named “The Value of Ether”, we have discussed in detail the framework in which we think it is most appropriate to link value accrual to ETH token holders with the underlying mechanics that operate the Ethereum blockchain. More specifically, we have laid out a case on how increased usage of the network has an impact on supply dynamics and can therefore have a knock-on effect on the value of the Ether token.
  • Introducing eoracle - the Ethereum Oracle

    Ethereum and Bitcoin faced challenges that were overcome with a very cautious approach, resulting in an extraordinary case study for global human coordination. Adding real-world data through oracles as another layer on top of it is a very promising next step. However, so far, we have taken this step forward without the same caution that is fundamental to the journey toward a decentralized ecosystem. Perhaps we were too close to the problem, focusing only on the outcome - making data accessible - and not being mindful enough about the process allowing it.
  • How to purchase Ethereum GAS in advance

    This topic introduces a method for purchasing gas on Ethereum. Technically it is a fully on-chain Ethereum gas futures market. The volatility of gas prices, primarily driven by network demand fluctuations, significantly obstructs user experience on Ethereum due to unpredictable costs. This solution aims to mitigate that issue.
  • How to hard-fork to save most users’ funds in a quantum emergency

    Suppose that it is announced tomorrow that quantum computers are available, and bad actors already have access to them and are able to use them to steal users’ funds. Preventing such a scenario is the goal of quantum-resistant cryptography (eg. Winternitz signatures, STARKs), and once account abstraction is in place, any user can switch to using a quantum-resistant signature scheme on their own schedule. But what if we don’t have that much time, and a sudden quantum transition happens long before that?
  • Ethereum is a Game Environment

    People describe Ethereum in a lot of different ways. It’s a smart contract platform, an asset ledger, an always-on financial system, a massive multiplayer online money game, and so on and so forth.

  • How to Raise the Gas Limit, Part 1: State Growth

    State growth and its relationship to Ethereum’s gas limit are widely misunderstood. It is commonly believed that state growth is Ethereum’s primary scaling bottleneck. However, discussions of state growth are often held back by imprecise terminology and a lack of detailed quantitative evidence.
  • Ethereum: The Infinite Story Machine 💫

    Yesterday, the first issue of the new ETH Investors Club (EIC) magazine went live digitally, with physical copies redeemable via NFTs on the way. The EIC effort is focused on spotlighting Ethereum’s current landscape through high-quality essays, and I’m honored that my piece, The Infinite Story Machine, was featured in the inaugural “Culture Corner” section.
  • Rollup-Centric Roadmap (2024 version) (mike+stokes version) (From The Vault)

    – It has been over three years since Vitalik put pen-to-paper voicing “a rollup-centric ethereum roadmap.” While there have been immense changes in the interim, the vision expressed aged like fine wine as the Ethereum community continued down this path. The launch of the beacon chain, the merge, withdrawals, and the imminent proto-danksharding fork embody the engineering, research, and coordination excellence of the individuals and teams contributing to the protocol. As 2024 sets in, however, there is more noise than ever. We feel it is worth reviving the “rollup-centric roadmap” with an updated worldview; modern problems may necessitate novel solutions.
