NFT platform wars could be ahead, says new DappRadar report

OpenSea, UniSwap, MagicEden, eBay and others are acquiring NFT aggregation tools and taking a stand to gain market share of the evolving NFT ecosystem.

DappRader's "Dapp Industry Report for Q2" 2022raised, among many points, the idea that an upcoming non-fungible token (NFT) platform war could be on the horizon.

The report, which was provided to Cointelegraph, spoke of howUniSwap had recently acquired GenieandOpenSea purchased Gemin an effort to expand their respective services to include NFT aggregation tools, which “accumulate NFT offers from various trading platforms.” Meanwhile, newer platforms such as Magic Eden and X2Y2 continue to take from OpenSea’s current 75% NFT marketplace dominance.

DappRadar stated, “These acquisitions will most likely pit OpenSea and UniSwap in direct competition with each other in the near future.“ Although OpenSea and UniSwap are well-established entities within the crypto space, they both face competition from outside the crypto industry as well. eBay recently acquired the Ethereum-based,digital art market KnownOriginin an effort to further expand its digital product offering and capabilities in the NFT space.

OpenSea has faced increasing competition with NFT platforms emerging across various blockchains. The report stated that the company “has seen its market share diminished with the arrival of contenders like Magic Eden, LooksRare, and X2Y2.”

CNBCreportedin April that OpenSea had “more than 1.5 million active users.” According to current data from DappRadar, the platform added 66.03 thousand users in the last thirty days, compared to MagicEden’s 272.97 thousand. The same DappRadar data showsMagicEden had 14.1milliontransactionsin the last thirty days andOpenSea onlyhad955.69thousand. The report also stated, “This quarter Magic Eden accounts for 10% of all NFTs transactions.”

The Moth Catcher
In this psychologically bed-headed portrait, a creature sets in a trance; his eyes devolved and vestigal, his third eye open but hardened and in a form resembling a Sharingan. The imagery therefore expresses an awareness existing in corporeal introspection. The creature’s mind sprouts, on the left side, an emerging face, grinning. To the right side of the head, red tentacles and fingers intertwine–a collaboration of invertebrate and vertebrate consciousness cooperatively handling paint brushes of the sort used to build an oil painting. The neck and throat bristle with random thorns, as from a rose or the upper portions of a beak sprouting from its flesh. The neck itself disassociates into layers of membranous material, terminating upon an abstracted base of convoluted forms composing its body. The nose is virtually non existent, more a sinus reiterative of the shape of the third eye. Set against the exposed teeth peering out of thick, meaty cheeks, a skeleton-like impression results. That impression sets behind a visceral set of lips and tongue, which is the creature’s prime seat of awareness. Sensual, organic, the tongue organ hangs, meaty, and with consciousness of a sea cucumber. It illuminates at the tip, drawing the attraction of a nearby moth–with mystery of purpose.
