OpenSea, a leading NFT marketplace, is asking users to connect their Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible wallets by October 15 to get the SEA token airdrop and get the most out of its Treasure Chests program. This deadline is a key part of OpenSea’s plan to get its community involved again and build excitement for the SEA token launch.
In a post on X, OpenSea announced that to receive the largest rewards, OpenSea users must connect an EVM-compatible wallet by October 15. Failure to do so will result in missing nearly all major new incentives. Only limited rewards remain for users logged in via Solana or Web2 accounts. Most token and NFT drops, including the SEA token, are tied to EVM chains.

So here’s your reminder: connect an EVM wallet to your OpenSea rewards profile.

The Treasure Chests program ends on October 15, which makes it even more important for users to act quickly. Every chest, especially those in the Solar tier, changes how many SEA tokens are given out at the token generation event (TGE). The cutoff chest level determines the airdrop rewards. Solar chests may offer the biggest rewards, but they are still risky if their contents are not what you expected.
SEA token airdrop
OpenSea officially hinted towards the SEA token airdrop in September. After the deadline of October 15, OpenSea’s success with the SEA token will depend on user participation, how rewards are distributed, and whether the platform can reclaim its place as a market leader.
The SEA airdrop and rush to link EVM wallets are OpenSea’s biggest push since it was the top NFT marketplace. The goal of the campaign is to get more people to play and help OpenSea keep up with competitors like Magic Eden by adding their rewards and tokens.
