Leading NFT marketplace OpenSea is primarily focused on EthereumEthereum, but support for the rising Solana NFT ecosystem could be right around the corner as newly-leaked screenshots suggest.

The screenshots come from Jane Manchun Wong, a well-known blogger and hacker who has gained notoriety for discovering tech features from the likes of Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram well before they’re officially announced.

Wong’s screenshots, shared today via Twitter, show OpenSea supporting the popular Solana wallet, Phantom, as well as displaying Solana as one of the supported blockchainsblockchains alongside current options Ethereum, Polygon, and Klaytn.

Wong told Decrypt that she found the shared references to Solana while reverse-engineering OpenSea’s website. She added that there were other references outside of mentions within the user interface and that “they did try to hide it, though.”

When asked for comment, an OpenSea representative called it "old speculation" and pointed to a previous purported leaked screenshot showing Solana support on the site. The representative said that OpenSea would "comment if or when we have something to say."
