This domain isn't registered. It's not legitimate and there's no reason to prematurely allowlist it as it is visually similar to opensea.io.

It is registered, live and it's not in anyway affiliated with opensea.io. Please review again and I hope it complies with your policy. Thanks

No, this website is probably a scam. There's no disambiguation from OpenSea except that it "[eliminates] OPENSEA's shortcomings" and there's an address to which people should send money with no discernible return. The link to a whitepaper ("/whitepaper.pdf") is broken and the copyright notice has a hyperlink to the "OpenSeaX DevTeam" that goes to the site itself again. Here's some raw WHOIS data:

This site was bought and registered after you submitted it to the allowlist. I almost bought it as an example phishing domain.

it's not in anyway affiliated with opensea.io

That's the problem. It appears to be, and even if it is completely legitimate I smell a trademark case as this is a competitor to a site with pretty much the same name.

Also, please stop filing duplicate issues.
