OpenSea has integrated its cross-chain market data with Perplexity Computer, allowing the AI agent to answer questions about token and NFT trading activity using live data covering more than 25 blockchains.
Summary
- OpenSea has integrated its market data with Perplexity Computer, giving the AI agent access to live onchain activity across more than 25 chains.
- Perplexity can use OpenSea data to answer questions about heavily traded tokens, collectibles and other market activity while citing the underlying source.
- The connector covers tokens, NFTs and collectibles, allowing users to query activity based on what is being bought and traded onchain.
- OpenSea said the integration is part of plans to make its market data available to AI products outside its own platform.
In an announcement shared with crypto.news on Aug. 27, OpenSea said Perplexity Computer can use its marketplace data when users ask about heavily traded tokens, collectibles attracting activity and other onchain market signals.
OpenSea gives Perplexity access to live onchain market data
With the connector enabled, Perplexity Computer can pull information directly from OpenSea while carrying out multi-step tasks for users. The integration covers fungible tokens, collectibles and NFTs and allows the AI platform to cite the underlying OpenSea data in its responses.
Users can ask which tokens have recorded the most trading activity during a particular period or which assets are drawing attention from traders and collectors. Perplexity can then use OpenSea data to answer based on current marketplace activity instead of relying solely on token price feeds.
The companies said the setup gives Perplexity access to data showing what users are buying and trading across OpenSea-supported networks. OpenSea currently provides data across more than 25 chains, giving the AI agent a single source for activity spread across several blockchain ecosystems.
“Onchain markets are built for AI agents. Everything is open, live, and verifiable,” OpenSea co-founder and CEO Devin Finzer said.
Finzer said users were already asking what was moving onchain, while the integration would allow Perplexity Computer to answer those questions using marketplace activity.
Perplexity Computer is designed to complete multi-step tasks and provide answers supported by cited sources. Bringing OpenSea into its available data sources extends that model to onchain trading information.
“Onchain markets move too quickly for static answers,” Perplexity Head of Live Events Products Jeff Grimes said. He added that OpenSea’s cross-chain data lets users ask about activity across tokens and collectibles and receive answers based on current market transactions.
The OpenSea connector is available through the Connectors page in Perplexity Computer.
OpenSea has been expanding beyond NFT trading
The Perplexity deal follows a series of changes that have expanded OpenSea beyond the NFT marketplace business it was originally known for.
In June, crypto.news reported that OpenSea was preparing to enter perpetual futures trading using Hyperliquid infrastructure.
OpenSea Product Marketing Lead Zack Brenner had asked users on X who wanted early access to perpetual contracts. When another user asked whether Hyperliquid would power the product, Brenner replied “YES.”
At the time, OpenSea had not released a launch date, complete list of supported assets or user terms for the planned product. The proposed setup would allow the marketplace to use Hyperliquid infrastructure for perpetual contracts as OpenSea extends its trading services outside spot tokens and NFTs.
The plan fits into OpenSea’s longer-running effort to build what it has described as a “trade everything” platform.
OpenSea began taking a larger step in that direction with OS2, an overhaul that combined fungible token and NFT trading across multiple networks. The platform was designed to reduce the need for users to move between separate applications when trading different types of onchain assets.
That expansion followed the introduction of OpenSea’s native SEA token plans in February 2025. The OpenSea Foundation said historical marketplace activity would factor into allocations and that U.S. users would be eligible.
The company later delayed the SEA launch in March 2026, with Finzer citing challenging market conditions.
SEA had been expected to play a role in OpenSea’s long-term trading platform, with earlier plans covering utility, governance and incentives tied to activity across the ecosystem. OpenSea did not provide a revised launch date when it postponed the token.
AI has already featured in OpenSea’s product plans
OpenSea had previously placed AI inside its own product roadmap before opening its market data to an external AI agent.
In September 2025, the company introduced an AI-powered mobile product alongside changes to its rewards program and plans for its SEA token.
The mobile initiative formed part of OpenSea’s attempt to combine several types of crypto activity within one product. Its product expansion had already moved the company from a marketplace centered on NFTs toward tokens, mobile trading and other onchain services.
Two months earlier, OpenSea acquired Rally Wallet to strengthen its mobile and token trading business. Rally was designed as a mobile-first wallet for NFTs and tokens, and OpenSea planned to integrate the application into its product suite.
At the time, OS2 supported trading across 19 blockchains with cross-chain functionality and real-time liquidity aggregation. The latest Perplexity announcement puts the reach of OpenSea’s market data at more than 25 chains.
Under the new partnership, OpenSea’s data will be used outside its own applications when Perplexity Computer responds to questions about market activity. The company said it expects more integrations of this type as AI agents take on a larger role in how users interact with crypto markets.
