The ME Foundation revealed plans to launch the $ME token, which aims to facilitate cross-chain transactions of digital assets across multiple blockchain networks. Magic Eden is the first company to adopt the $ME token as part of its ecosystem.
A key feature of the $ME token is its integration into Magic Eden’s mobile wallet, which enables users to manage assets across different blockchain networks.
The wallet, which already has a large user base, will offer $ME as a reward to encourage cross-chain transactions, making it a core part of Magic Eden’s strategy beyond NFTs.

Magic Eden began as an NFT platform based on Solana and has now expanded its operations to multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, and Base. The $ME token will be used to unify these networks, allowing users to trade assets across different chains more efficiently.
“I’m excited about $ME for two reasons. First, the token will resonate with crypto retail users because it represents the potential of consumer dApps built for them. This is what $ME will push through mobile-first experiences. To-the-market reasons. “Secondly, $ME is for everyone across all major chains. The days of single-chain maximalism are over.
$ME tokens will be managed by the ME Foundation, a separate entity from Magic Eden but with the same brand. The purpose of the foundation is to oversee various NFT protocols originally developed and open sourced by Magic Eden.
While details on the exact launch date and distribution method, including a potential airdrop offering diamond rewards to Magic Eden users, have yet to be confirmed, the ME Foundation has hinted that more details will be provided, including specific use cases for the $ME token and its Governance model.
