Magic Eden Launches Three Major Innovations: Cross-Chain Wallet, Rewards Program, and Open-Source Commitment

Magic Eden has announced the global launch of an enhanced rewards program and a cross-chain wallet, as well as its mission to open-source all major protocols. These new offerings aim to reshape the NFT sector, making digital assets more accessible and rewarding.

The Magic Eden Rewards program is a game-changer in the NFT space. It's now live on Solana and will soon expand to include Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Polygon. The program offers universal perks for every member of its community, from artists to collectors. What's exciting is that it features quests that reward new and existing users, making the platform more engaging. 

To foster industry growth, Magic Eden is committing to the Non-Fungible DAO. This community-owned organization is focused on driving NFT adoption. Magic Eden's contribution will be in the form of open-sourcing its major protocols. These include marketplace protocols across various chains. The company's support will help advance the DAO's mission, along with the upcoming launch of the $NFT token.

Another major development is the rollout of Magic Eden's cross-chain, self-custody wallet. This wallet, first provided to a select few in 2023, allows for quick cryptocurrency swaps between Bitcoin, Solana, Ethereum, and Polygon. It's designed to provide a seamless experience for NFT holders, allowing them to trade and collect across multiple chains with ease. Users will soon be able to earn rewards, making it even more appealing. The wallet, along with its desktop browser extension, is slated for a global launch by the end of January.

Zhuoxun 'Zedd' Yin, Co-Founder and COO of Magic Eden, emphasizes the company's vision: "At Magic Eden, we believe in making digital ownership universal. That means making NFTs, in whatever form, a ubiquitous underlying technology." He also highlights the importance of the Non-Fungible DAO and the role of open-source software in growing the ecosystem.

As such, Magic Eden is presenting itself as a leading provider for cross-chain collectors, offering a rich and diverse platform. Their commitment to open-source protocols demonstrates their desire to create a welcoming user experience.
