The ME token will be integrated into Magic Eden’s existing platform, incentivizing users to trade digital assets across different chains.
Magic Eden, a leading platform in the NFT space, has officially announced the launch of its new ecosystem token, ME.
Magic Eden, which began as a Solana-based NFT platform, has evolved into a multi-chain environment. The ME token is reportedly designed to facilitate seamless transactions across various blockchain networks. This includes trading on the Solana-based Magic Eden platform, as well as on other major blockchain networks like Ethereum, Base, and Polygon.

ME Foundation, the organization behind this initiative, is committed to integrating ME into its ecosystem to enable decentralized governance, according to a recent Magic Eden press release.
The ME token will be exclusively available through the Magic Eden Wallet, which is built on the ME DAO's open-source code. This wallet, enjoyed by over 250,000 monthly active users, offers features such as native cross-chain swaps, on-ramp services, and digital asset management.
Users who adopt the Magic Eden Wallet will benefit from ME rewards, further incentivizing participation in the ecosystem.
ME Foundation Director Matt Szenics discussed the importance of this token in an evolving blockchain landscape in an interview with The Block. "The era of single chain maximalism is over," Szenics stated, pointing to Magic Eden's strong track record.
With over $6 billion in trading volume and a commanding presence across multiple networks, Magic Eden represents a substantial share of the NFT market, according to Szenics. The platform reportedly accounts for 60% of all NFT revenue and over 80% of trading volume for Bitcoin Ordinals and Runes.
Szenics emphasized that ME will be a powerful tool as Magic Eden expands beyond NFTs and into broader digital ownership.
Unlike many recent token launches focused on Layer 1 (L1) blockchains and infrastructure projects, the ME token is reportedly designed with consumer decentralized applications (DApps) in mind.
The ME Foundation expects the token to drive significant shifts in on-chain behavior, particularly in the area of mobile-native experiences and end-to-end DApps. These applications are expected to help users transact more efficiently and securely across various blockchains.
Although the exact launch date for the ME token has not been disclosed, the Foundation has confirmed that it will provide additional details on tokenomics and utility in the near future.
The token will be available through both desktop and mobile versions of the Magic Eden Wallet, though it will not be claimable in certain jurisdictions, including the United States.
