Magic Eden, the leading platform for Solana NFTs, has announced that it is going multi-chain through the addition of Ethereum NFTs into its ecosystem. To celebrate the landmark occasion, the platform has changed its Twitter name to Magic Ethen.
The platform has stated that it will offer Ethereum NFT enthusiasts with the same go-to-market services as it does for Solana NFTs. This means that irrespective of the blockchain in question, all users will be able to access the platform’s minting toolkit, whitelisting tools and marketing support when managing their NFTs.
In the past, the company had hinted that it was exploring multi-chain expansion. Now we know that Ethereum — the network that hosts the vast majority of NFT collections and has the largest market cap for NFT trading by volume — will be the first blockchain added.
Unlike Solana, Magic Eden plans to aggregate Ethereum NFT listings from other marketplaces with no “proprietary listings.”
The rollout of Ethereum NFT support is expected to occur on the platform throughout the month of August. Ethereum NFTs will be integrated onto the platform in three initial spaces— the launchpad where users can mint new projects, its new “allowlist” tool, and its NFT drop calendar.
