OpenSea unveils Signals to share reasoning behind trades

OpenSea introduced Signals, a feature that lets users attach notes explaining the thinking behind their token trades and NFT purchases. The announcement frames it as pairing the "what" with the "why": "A trade tells you what someone bought. A Signal tells you why."

• Signals let collectors share strategy or reasoning directly on a purchase, which then travels with the trade to followers.
• Users can also discover what others see in their buys, giving people a reason to follow a trader's activity.
• The feature aligns with the broader social-trading push around OpenSea Mobile, which added a unified trader feed and referrals at launch.
