📢 Thread: How to use OpenSea with Ledger devices and MetaMask.
A recent Chrome update made it cumbersome to use OpenSea with Ledger devices + MetaMask, but it is still doable:
1. From MetaMask's Settings, click "Advanced" and then toggle on the "Use Ledger Live" option.
6. Clicking the confirm button in MetaMask will show you a transaction to approve or a message to sign on your physical device.
7. Approve the tx or sign the message on your physical device.
8. Once you're done, close the Device Bridge in Ledger Live by clicking 'Disconnect'.
Exercise caution and follow recommended security practices when connecting to a hardware wallet, including but not limited to: confirming you're interacting with opensea.io and confirming you have a verified build of MetaMask and Ledger Live installed.
✨New at OpenSea: Counter-Offers
We now enable users to make counter-offers on OpenSea. To make a counter-offer, go to the Offers page on your profile (opensea.io/account) and click 'Counter.' The original offer-maker will receive an e-mail that a counter-offer was made.
✨ New at OpenSea: "SOS" Button
In the interest of protecting users on OpenSea from phishing attacks and other forms of theft, we've rolled out a feature that allows users to disable OpenSea trading for NFTs in their account if they believe their wallet has been compromised.
🔧The floor price stat for collections on OpenSea was previously updating once every hour, but now updates in real-time.
If you notice a delta between the reported floor price and the lowest-priced item in a collection, let us know.
🔧 OpenSea upgrade: We've just rolled out an option to toggle between different grid sizes when viewing NFTs on the search page, collection page and profile page, allowing users to view more items at once. (eng credit: @sunwrobert).
3. The collection name on asset cards throughout the app will now link you directly to the collection page.
🔧 Some smaller OpenSea product updates to highlight:
1. We now show the collection royalties at checkout.
OpenSea now has a status page at status.opensea.io where we'll be documenting system outages, performance degradations, etc.
Performance and stability have suffered during this period of hyper-growth, but we're heavily prioritizing this category of issues.
📢 Private sales on OpenSea (sales set for specific buyers) will now use the same sale structure as public sales.
This means that creators will receive their specified royalties for sales of items in their collection regardless of whether those sales are public or private.
We've spoken with the MetaMask team and they will be temporarily disabling the mobile QR code sync feature to defend against the phishing attacks that have become more prevalent in recent weeks.
Saddened to hear an OpenSea user was the victim of a significant phishing attack last night.
The scammer masquerades as an OpenSea employee and has the user scan a QR code granting wallet access.
