The big portion of pork trotter rice for money-grabbing party is about to start. This morning, Magic Eden Foundation announced the economics of ME tokens, of which 12.5% of the total supply will be used for token airdrops, and all will be unlocked at TGE. At the same time, Jack Lu, co-founder and CEO of Magic Eden, posted on X that the ME token will be launched in a few weeks, and community priority features will be launched in the future to reward loyal users. Users can earn ME tokens through daily use of Magic Eden products.

Affected by Magic Edens announcement of ME token economics, pre-market data from Whales Marché shows that ME (Magic Eden) is currently commerce at 2.5 USDT, up 150% in 24 hours , with a 24 heures trading volume of over 200,000 USD. Some of the big score-boosting players in the Magic Eden community are quite satisfied with the current pre-market price performance, and even think that ME has a chance to hit 3 to 4 USD when it opens.

Magic Eden is a multi-asset on-chain trading platform that unifies the market and user experience, as well as a more powerful business model, through ME tokens and Magic Eden wallets.

Zedd, co-founder of Magic Eden, said in a blog post: “Magic Eden’s core focus is on actual user usage rather than pure transaction volume, because transaction volume is an indicator that is easily affected by incentives. We are more focused on analyzing user activity and actual income. Blur has done a good job in incentivizing liquidity, which we think is a clever strategy. However, we always believe that the platform we pursue should not rely solely on liquidity incentives. We prefer to focus on user activity and income because these indicators can better reflect the health of the platform. In addition, we also realize that over-reliance on transaction volume as a metric can be risky.”

According to official data, Magic Edens current cross-chain NFT and token transaction volume has reached $600 million, and the latest mobile product Magic Eden Wallet has 300,000 monthly active addresses. In addition, Magic Eden is the No. 1 DEX in the Bitcoin ecosystem, accounting for more than 80% of rune and inscription transaction volume ; on the other hand, it is also the largest NFT platform with the highest revenue and user share in the NFT ecosystem (revenue share accounts for 60%, user share accounts for 29% ).

Magic Eden stats

Jeton Modèle économique

According to official information, Magic Edens native token ME has a total supply of 1 billion tokens. The token distribution will be released within 4 years, of which more than half will be allocated to the community. The specific distribution is as follows:

• Initial token airdrop: 12.5 million tokens, accounting for 12.5% of the total supply, which will be rewarded to users of the Bitcoin, Solana, and EVM ecosystems. All will be unlocked at TGE and distributed to users through Magic Eden’s mobile dApp, and the unclaimed amount will be returned to ME participants as part of the community allocation as future rewards;

• Community and Ecosystem: 37.7 million, accounting for 37.7% of the total supply, of which 22.5% of the total supply will be used to reward active users of the ME protocol, mainly through the reward program; the remaining 15.2% of the total supply will be used for ecosystem development, including enthusiastic advocates and creators who want to develop and support the protocol;

• Contributors: 26.2 million, accounting for 26.2% of the total supply. This portion will be allocated to project contractors, consultants, and company employees. More than 60% of this portion of tokens will be locked for at least 18 months after TGE and unlocked linearly thereafter.

• Strategic Participants: 23.6 million, accounting for 23.6% of the total supply. This portion is allocated to all strategic participants who provided important guidance in the development of the ME Foundation protocol, and this portion will be locked for at least 12 months after TGE and unlocked linearly thereafter.

ME Token Economics

According to the token release chart, ME will be distributed within 4 years, at which time all ME tokens will be fully circulated and most of them will be distributed to the community.

At the same time, in order to ensure that the community and the protocol are protected from security issues, Magic Eden will appoint a 5-member security committee to oversee the multi-signature wallet, which can perform both emergency actions and delayed non-emergency actions.

Speculations on the exchange of diamonds and tokens

Although 12.5% of the total supply of ME tokens is used for this airdrop, the money-grabbing party is more concerned about the exchange ratio between the diamonds they brushed and the tokens. The total supply of diamonds is 17 billion. If calculated based on the full circulation of diamonds, the exchange ratio is 136:1.

According to the feedback from administrators in the official Discord channel, the total amount of diamonds swiped by users across the network is still a certain distance away from the target of 17 billion diamonds. Therefore, many users speculate that the exchange ratio of diamonds to tokens may be close to 100:1. This means that an account with 10,000 diamond points can be exchanged for about 100 ME tokens. Based on the over-the-counter trading price of $2.5, the value of this airdrop is about $250.

Preparations before claiming tokens

With the announcement of the Magic Eden token economic model, the token airdrop date is approaching. In order to ensure that the money-grabbing party can successfully claim the tokens as soon as possible, Odaily Planet Daily has compiled the following points of attention based on official information:

• Before TGE, users can check which wallets are eligible through the eligibility checker, and users can also connect their wallets at this time, similar to the TestME application process (the TestME application process can refer to this article: Magic Eden is about to open testME airdrop applications, and will familiarize you with the process in advance );

• On and after the TGE day, there will be a claiming period during which eligible users can claim and stake ME tokens.

Therefore, similar to the test token claiming process, you will need to download and install the Magic Eden official wallet on your mobile phone when claiming official tokens.

It is worth mentioning that Magic Eden’s previous test coin TestME claimed and stated that it had no monetary value. By participating, users can ensure that their wallets are correctly linked and prepared to accept official ME token claims, but more than 250,000 wallets claimed it in the first place.

In addition, 37.7% of the shares in the ME token economic model are allocated to the community, and these tokens are likely to be used for subsequent Magic Eden points swiping activities or airdrop rewards. Therefore, even if you miss this airdrop, you still have the opportunity to prepare for the Magic Eden Season 2 token airdrop event in advance. Let us also look forward to the opening performance of Magic Eden, the most active trading platform in the NFT market, and its token ME.

résumé

Currently, Magic Eden is the largest NFT platform with the highest revenue and user share, surpassing Blur and OpenSea ( v2 will be launched in December ). Although the release of the token economic model at this time and the plan to issue tokens in the next few weeks, as well as the potential second season of the token-swiping activity will attract a lot of users attention in a short period of time, it is difficult to inject sustained attention and liquidity into the NFT sector in the current environment of rushing for Meme coins.

If Magic Eden wants to ignite the NFT market again through the issuance of coins and continuous token reward activities, it is undoubtedly a challenging goal. At present, the markets attention to NFT has declined significantly. Even in the community, the term NFT has become more of a joke, and user interest has almost cooled. As the pioneer of NFT market coin issuance, Blur once brought about a wave of discussions on whether excessive financialization is the elegy of NFT, and whether not embracing financialization is also a chronic death. Perhaps, whether the NFT industry can rise again is not just a question for NFT trading platforms to think about.
