What is Magic Eden?
Magic Eden is an NFT marketplace and launchpad that allows users to buy, sell and mint Solana-based NFTs. Launched in September this year, the platform has already garnered a strong community. It has close to 50.000 followers on Twitter and upwards of 10.000 Discord members.
Magic Eden’s launchpad feature is one of the most attractive incentives for users. It allows NFT creators to launch whole collections and customize the minting process. The idea behind this product is to help creators mint their collections even if they lack the technical know-how. Magic Eden has already selected the first set of projects to benefit from the launchpad tool at the time of writing. However, applications are still open for subsequent cohorts.
Notably, the platform sports a zero listing fee principle, which also contributes to the steady user retention Magic Eden has seen. There is, however, a standard platform fee of 2% on all transactions processed by the marketplace.
As a relatively new marketplace, Magic Eden has a promising road ahead. With a steady user base that keeps growing, this dapp clearly competes for the top spots in DappRadar rankings.
