Some users on X claimed the platform would require participants to meet specific requirements to qualify for rewards. These included Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks, along with restrictions on virtual private networks (VPNs) in certain countries.
The speculation sparked frustration, with many users criticizing the possible KYC requirement. However, Devin Finzer, the CEO of OpenSea, responded on X, calling the claims "completely false".
The OpenSea Foundation also posted a statement confirming that the rumors were untrue, emphasizing that users should only trust official sources.
Finzer reassured the community that there was "a lot to be excited about" and that any real announcements would come directly from OpenSea.
When asked to clarify which details were incorrect, Finzer pointed to the terms and conditions that had caused concern. He later explained that the page in question was a “test website” and that the information was just placeholder text, not actual terms for any airdrop.
