Cross-Chain Wallet: Streamlining NFT Collecting and Trading

Magic Eden is also expanding the availability of its cross-chain, self-custody wallet. Initially released in late 2023 to select users, this wallet allows instant cryptocurrency swaps among Bitcoin, Solana, Ethereum, and Polygon.

To encourage users to use their cross-chain wallet, Magic Eden will soon offer rewards for users who collect and trade NFTs. This feature aims to enhance the user experience and provide additional benefits for Magic Eden community members.

The desktop browser extension and wallet will be globally available by the end of January, making it easier for users worldwide to access the cross-chain wallet and enjoy its features.
