Leading NFT marketplace OpenSea has introduced an innovative open standard for redeemable NFTs.
These redeemable NFTs, which can be “burned” to unlock either on-chain or off-chain items, have faced challenges due to the lack of universally adopted standards.
OpenSea’s initiative aims to tackle this issue by establishing a cohesive framework that streamlines the creation, exchange, and redemption of these NFTs.
OpenSea’s newly introduced open standard encompasses both on-chain (NFT to NFT) and off-chain (NFT to goods, services, or experiences) redeemables. This standardization seeks to simplify the process of creating, discovering, and redeeming NFTs directly on the OpenSea platform.
As a result, rather than employing the traditional “burn-to-redeem” approach, users will have the option to redeem by modifying a specific trait of the NFT.
This innovative method will enable users to retain their NFTs even after redemption, simultaneously enhancing the practicality of a single NFT for multiple redemption purposes.
The initiative involves the publication of two Ethereum Requests for Comment (ERC-7496 and ERC-7498) and two Seaport Improvement Proposals (SIP-14 and SIP-15).
OpenSea’s roadmap includes multiple milestones.
The first milestone involves open-sourcing the redeemables standards, followed by the introduction of on-chain redeemables and trait redemptions.
To highlight a preview of our redeemables experience, we’re sharing a proof-of-concept NFT: Burnie the Flame. Mint your Baby Burn egg below, then visit its item page to see the available redeemable.

The final milestone focuses on off-chain redeemables, facilitating links between NFT collections and real-world redemption experiences.
Beyond its advancements in NFT standards, OpenSea has made bold strategic moves recently.
Last week, the marketplace revamped creator fees, empowering creators and reshaping the buying and selling dynamics.
In addition, OpenSea’s introduction of “Deals” in July facilitated hassle-free peer-to-peer NFT swaps, further demonstrating the platform’s commitment to democratizing NFT functionality and enhancing user experiences.
