OpenSea has added support for Avalanche, bringing the total number of supported blockchains on OpenSea to seven.

Users can now display, list and trade their Avalanche-based NFTs on OpenSea, the platform tweeted. New collections to join the marketplace include Chikn, TapTapKaboom, The Stoics, Castle Crush and Open Blox, with more collections expected to be onboarded soon. 

OpenSea will also work with Avalanche-based NFT platforms like NFTrade, Joepegs and Kalao.
