Our Plan on ETH

The opportunity to enter ETH and support the most established and largest blockchain NFT ecosystem has been on our minds since we launched Magic Eden in 2021. Last August, we debuted our aggregator and Launchpad. Since then, we have helped launch 33 Ethereum collections who have raised over 12,000 ETH. We knew entering this market wouldn’t be easy, and our goal was to first learn more about the ETH ecosystem in order to plan a thoughtful marketplace entry. We’re finally ready to launch a marketplace and expect to eventually bring back the aggregator on top of our marketplace.

We Will Be A Home For Creators On ETH

We thought long and hard about how to enter the market with a proactive and pragmatic stance on royalties. Our approach is to enter ETH respecting royalties on our native listings for all creators (new & existing collections). Additionally, for a limited time, we will offer our 2% transaction fee to ETH Launchpad creator partners for 6 months.

In-line with our entry to Polygon and Bitcoin, our approach has been to adopt the ethos of the blockchain’s stance on royalties while applying learnings from our royalties journey on Solana. On ETH, new collections that have launched with operator filter have royalties respected across major platforms. We will follow suit in respecting royalties on operator filter collections. For listings within our control (i.e. native on ME), we want to give all creators, the same treatment of respecting their royalties. Thus, we’ve decided that all creators launched pre and post-operation filter will have royalties respected on Magic Eden native listings.

For all listings that are not native to Magic Eden (aggregated listings), we are not able to control royalties on these listings and will also not be taking fees, so royalties for aggregated listings will be subject to approach from the listing’s native platform. The 2% marketplace fee offer for ETH Launchpad creators would also not apply to non-native listings.

We Look Forward To Helping Creators Go Cross Chain

Last week, we added Bitcoin by welcoming ordinals to Magic Eden. We believe there is great synergy between the Bitcoin and ETH ecosystems. Since our Ordinals launch, we’ve received an overwhelming positive response, especially from folks in the ETH ecosystem. We believe the opportunity to provide a frictionless user experience from Bitcoin to ETH and cross-pollinate across our four supported blockchains is stronger than ever.

As of early April, Magic Eden will have a dedicated Launchpad and core secondary market on all four chains (Solana, Polygon, Bitcoin, and Ethereum). We know many Ethereum collections are also interested in other chain expansion including Polygon and Solana, and look forward to helping creators engage more audiences.

What’s next?

We are builders at heart, and ETH Genesis is the start of more launches, features, and surprises to come from us. Stay tuned by following us on twitter, and come back to magiceden.io on next Thursday, April 6, to check out our ETH marketplace and Launchpad
