Magic Eden, a prominent player in the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) ecosystem, is boldly moving beyond its core focus on NFTs. The project has launched its first mobile wallet app, allowing users to trade NFTs and swap tokens across various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL).
This strategic expansion signals Magic Eden’s commitment to becoming a broader digital asset ecosystem, catering to the growing demand for multi-chain interoperability and diverse financial activities within the crypto space.
Magic Eden Introduces its Native Token, ME
Magic Eden is introducing a native token called ME in addition to the wallet app. The newly formed ME Foundation will issue the token. Meanwhile, the planned ME token is designed to play a key role in the platform’s governance, incentivizing participation and fostering a more decentralized ecosystem.

Magic Eden Unveils TypeScript Update
Some months ago, Magic Eden announced a game-changing release: the launch of an open-source TypeScript library called “runestone-lib.” As reported, this library interacts with the Runes protocol, which lets one create unique fungible assets on the Bitcoin blockchain.

This newly introduced development is a major leap forward from when Bitcoin Ordinals was first launched in 2023. Runestone-lib is a game-changer for developers using the Runes protocol, especially those working with JavaScript/TypeScript. It makes things so much easier by providing built-in support for encoding, decoding, and indexing of Runes.
Decentralization is essential in the Runestone ecosystem, so Magic Eden’s open-sourced runestone-lib significantly contributes to it. Having multiple client implementations ensures resilience and prevents any single points of failure.
GameStop Shuts Down NFT Marketplace
Earlier in the year, GameStop, the gaming retailer that entered the crypto space with the launch of its NFT marketplace back in 2022, decided to shut down its NFT marketplace. The move follows the abandonment of its crypto wallet in August last year. Both decisions were driven by what GameStop labeled “the continuing regulatory uncertainty of the crypto space.”
GameStop’s initial foray into the space seemed promising, with a strategic focus on gaming assets in collaboration with ImmutableX, an Ethereum layer 2 blockchain. However, the mounting concerns over regulatory uncertainties have forced the retailer to reassess its position.
