A key feature of the $ME token will be its integration into the Magic Eden mobile wallet, which offers users the ability to manage assets across different blockchain networks.
The wallet, which already enjoys a large user base, will offer $ME as rewards to encourage cross-chain transactions, making it a central part of Magic Eden’s strategy to expand beyond nfts.

Expanding cross-chain capabilities with $ME
Magic Eden, which started as a Solana-based nft platform, has expanded its operations to include multiple blockchains including ethereum, Polygon, and Base. The $ME token will serve to unify these networks, allowing users to trade assets across different chains more efficiently.
“I’m excited about $ME for two reasons. First, this token will resonate with retail crypto users because it represents the potential of consumer decentralized apps built for them. That’s why $ME will come to market through a mobile-first experience,” said Matt Szenics, Director of the ME Foundation. “Second, $ME is for everyone on all major chains. The era of single-chain maximalism is over.”
The $ME token will be managed by the ME Foundation, an independent entity separate from Magic Eden, although it shares the branding. The purpose of the foundation is to oversee several nft protocols originally developed by Magic Eden, which have been made open source.
While details regarding the exact launch date and distribution method, including potential airdrops to Magic Eden users with Diamond rewards, have yet to be confirmed, the ME Foundation has hinted that more details are to come, including specific use cases for the $ME token and its governance model.
