Leading NFT marketplace OpenSea has officially included the Power Protocol ecosystem’s native token (POWER) in its list of supported payment methods. Previously, transactions on the platform were settled primarily in Ethereum, WETH, and USDC.
According to the announcement, the update allows gaming community members to use earned rewards directly to acquire digital collections, bypassing the need for external exchanges.
Monetizing Gameplay
The POWER token is earned through activity within ecosystem projects, including the flagship game Fableborne. Previously, gamers were forced to convert their rewards into more liquid currencies for secondary market operations.
Direct asset support on OpenSea eliminates technical barriers and lowers transaction costs for users.
“An asset earned exclusively through gameplay has now gained utility on one of the largest digital asset markets. This creates a precedent for turning in-game currency into a full-fledged instrument of the external economy,” noted Pixion Games Founder and CEO Kam Punia.
The Marketplace’s Stance
Meanwhile, OpenSea leadership attributes the expansion of payment options to community demand for flexibility.
“The platform supports tokens originating in gaming environments but designed for participation in broader market relations. This approach allows creators and collectors to manage capital more freely,” emphasized Oliver Maroney, Head of Business Development at OpenSea.
Scaling the Protocol
Power Protocol is designed as a unified infrastructure layer to connect disparate games and decentralized applications.
