Meanwhile, OpenSea said that it would be able to "learn from Gem’s expertise and intuition about the advanced NFT community."</p> <p>Gem has since been <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/224875/opensea-blur-nfts-pro">integrated</a> into OpenSea Pro.</p> <p>“Building on previous Gem designs, we’re excited to roll out a vastly improved suite of features that will allow collectors to discover the best deals and insights across 170 marketplaces and access sophisticated tools that meet their need for automation,” OpenSea said.</p><br /><span class="copyright"><p>© 2023 The Block Crypto, Inc.
