Welcome to the OpenSea digest. Let’s look back through the biggest NFT and web3 news of the week.

Decentraland expands to Epic Games Store and mobile

Decentraland has launched on the Epic Games Store and released an Android app, with iOS coming soon, the company said. The rollout places it in front of Epic’s reported 74 million monthly users and taps into how people are using tech, with the vast majority participating in social gaming via mobile. 

The same live events, social spaces and user-built environments Decentraland is known for will carry across devices, a setup known as cross-platform play. People can join the same activity on desktop or mobile without interruption. 

Decentraland marked the expansion with an April 2 in-world event featuring Dúo Dø, an Argentine music duo based between Argentina and Japan, and DirkNeuenfels, a high-energy DJ from Dortmund, Germany, alongside a Twitch stream.

Rekt Energy debuts on Amazon with Prime shipping in the U.S.

Rekt Energy, the energy drink line powered by the $REKT token, is now available on Amazon in the United States with Prime shipping, the company announced on X.

The launch gives the brand faster delivery and a wider retail footprint, with flavors like Blue Raspberry and Cherry Cola listed as the first options available.

The move places Rekt Energy, which began as a web3-native brand,  in front of a broad audience already browsing daily essentials and trending products on Amazon’s site.

Fannie Mae to accept crypto for down payments on mortgages

Fannie Mae, the U.S. mortgage-finance company, will now allow home buyers to pledge cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or the stablecoin $USDC as collateral when taking out Fannie-backed mortgages, according to the Wall Street Journal. 

Now, instead of selling crypto to fund a cash down payment, buyers can potentially use their tokens as collateral for a second loan. That means more might be able to keep their digital assets while fulfilling a traditional 15- or 30-year mortgage.

The program, supported by Fannie Mae and overseen by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, taps demand from crypto holders who want to avoid selling for taxes or maintain market exposure. 

So far, crypto-backed mortgages are still a niche sliver of the $13 trillion mortgage sector, but Fannie’s involvement could broaden access for buyers with significant digital items.

Walmart’s OnePay app adds more crypto tokens

OnePay, the Walmart-backed fintech app, has expanded its crypto offerings to include Polygon ($MATIC), Arbitrum ($ARB), Solana ($SOL), and more, the company recently confirmed. The company confirmed two more tokens, Avalanche ($AVAX) and Algorand ($ALGO), on April 2. 

Since launching in January with Bitcoin ($BTC) and Ethereum ($ETH), the platform now supports over a dozen tokens.

Beyond its crypto capabilities, the app combines banking, digital wallets, and retail integration into one platform that lets users pay in Walmart stores or online.

OnePay’s expansion is part of a broader trend in the U.S. to build “super apps” that bundle banking, payments, and crypto services under one regulatory framework.

Art Blocks and OpenSea announce 2026 Marfa residency with digital artist Nygilia

Art Blocks, in collaboration with OpenSea, announced its 2026 Marfa, Texas, residency spotlighting digital artist Nygilia as this year’s featured creator. 

Nygilia works across character art, design, illustration, 3D, and AI-driven projects to create interactive worlds that blur the lines between art and gaming, as described in the announcement on X. 

Nygilia draws on her Jamaican, German, and Italian heritage to weave global cultural influences into her work. She plans to use Marfa’s landscape and history as inspiration, drawing the connection between the desert’s open spaces and gaming-style exploration.
