OpenSea, one of the world's largest NFT marketplaces, has announced a significant integration with Power Protocol, enabling its $POWER token to be used as a direct payment method for NFT purchases. This move allows players of the flagship game Fableborne to use their gameplay-earned $POWER tokens on OpenSea without needing to first convert them into other assets like ETH, WETH, or USDC.
The integration, announced on December 16, 2025, represents a major expansion of the $POWER token's utility beyond its native gaming ecosystem and into broader NFT commerce. Power Protocol is designed as a shared infrastructure layer that connects games, applications, and digital products through common token mechanics. While Fableborne, developed by Pixion Games, is currently the primary driver of activity, the protocol is built to support additional game integrations in the future.
Kam Punia, Founder and CEO of Pixion Games, stated: "Our objective with Power Protocol has been to create a framework in which game-earned value can participate in the wider digital economy. OpenSea's integration of POWER allows a token earned through gameplay to be used natively across one of the world's largest NFT and token marketplaces."
Oliver Maroney, Head of Business Development and Partnerships at OpenSea, commented on the strategic move: "This integration reflects growing demand for more flexible payment options and our vision of everything onchain, all in one place. POWER represents a great use case for our space, originating from a game ecosystem yet designed to participate in wider digital markets." He added that enabling POWER as a platform-wide payment method gives creators and collectors on OpenSea a new way to transact.
The development positions $POWER as a token with utility extending far beyond a single game, reflecting a broader industry shift toward making in-game rewards portable across open, decentralized marketplaces. This bridges the gap between gaming activity and real economic value in the digital asset space.
