Confused about why OpenSea features are disabled? You're not alone. OpenSea's website is absolutely not decentralized, despite their smart contracts on Ethereum. The current situation stems from a significant smart contract migration. Holders strive to beat the deadline set by popular market platform OpenSea, as the seven-day window stipulated to move their NFT listings ends on today, February 25.

OpenSea bids and purchases are disabled until the migration is complete, ensuring that listings are safe. Why temporarily disable bids and purchases? Bids and purchases are made unavailable to ensure that listings are protected until the migration completes. This temporary downtime is a direct result of OpenSea pushing a vital upgrade.

The week-long period that OpenSea gave users to migrate their listings was critical. The new smart contract comes with new features like bulk listing, more descriptive signatures, and expiration for all inactive listings.

Following the deadline, the platform announced that some features on the site may be unavailable temporarily due to the migration. Don't worry, your NFTs are safe. The disabled features are temporary and designed to protect your assets during this important transition. While you can't use OpenSea's smart contracts if you're not able to use their site, this maintenance is necessary for a better experience in the long run.
