OpenSea was down for some users earlier

UPDATE 1/20/2021 11:50 AM ET: OpenSea’s status page posted an update stating that a fix has been pushed out and that they’re currently monitoring the situation. “A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the issue. Programmatic access remains disabled.”

If you are an NFT aficionado and use OpenSea for browsing and buying them, the website was recently down, as noticed by app researcher and Twitter user Jane Manchun Wong.

According to the OpenSea website, an outage was causing issues with both the website and the company’s API, which would affect Twitter’s new NFT feature.

After some clicking around, the website was definitely laggy for me, with the page occasionally returning a 504 error. Other users couldn’t even access the page.
