- OpenSea has acquired Rally, a mobile-focused Web3 platform, to facilitate token and NFT trading on mobile devices.
- The announcement was made on Tuesday, with plans for a new OpenSea mobile experience expected “later this year.”
- Rally co-founders Chris Maddern and Christine Hall will join OpenSea’s leadership team, with Maddern taking the role of chief technology officer.
- OpenSea aims to create an “onchain everything app,” expanding beyond just NFTs into broader Web3 services.
