OpenSea stated in a series of tweets that “select partners” who debuted their collection on its platform had a “immersive” experience with the first version of Drops.
“Over the past few months, we worked closely with 20 amazing teams to build a best-in-class drops experience that includes features like multi-stage minting phases, allowlist support and rich storytelling elements,” OpenSea said.
Drops’ next phase of release will equip creators with features like “deploying smart contracts across all supported EVM chains, configuring drop mechanics, personalizing landing pages” and more, allowing them to take charge of their own minting experience.

OpenSea claims that in the coming weeks, the feature will be made available to a small group of creators before being released to the public. Partners who are interested in getting a head start on the toolkit can do so online.
Our long-term goal is to make it possible for anyone to create a fully immersive and secure storefront on OpenSea to sell their wares without needing extensive specialized knowledge or resources.
OpenSea has been testing out custom landing pages for drops, such as omgkirby, CLOUDMACHINE, Probably a Label, and Anthony Hopkins’ latest releases. Videos, photo galleries, lists of useful apps, and roadmaps of upcoming projects can all be found on your very own customized marketplace page.
The platform has also attracted much interest for its strict approach on enforcing creator royalties, going so far as to ban NFTs minted on the site from being sold on secondary marketplaces that do not enforce royalties.
