They decided to collaborate with game studios to help them start NFT projects, attract and keep players, and support playing infrastructure through the in-game marketplace. The whole range of goods and services offered by Magic Eden may help games be more engaging and profitable throughout the Web3 ecosystem.

Magic Eden has an extensive network to back these projects

Magic Eden provides unmatched reach to gaming businesses with 1.5M daily user sessions and 15-minute user sessions on average. Because of strong on-platform involvement, Magic Eden has started collaborating with post-mint game creators to test rewards tokens on its Rewards Hub, enabling them to interact with both new as well as current users. Magic Eden not only aids with game interaction and monetization but also supports game infrastructure. When games are playable, game producers can use Magic Eden’s APIs to create their own in-game marketplaces, allowing players to trade digital goods without leaving the game’s ecosystem.

The platform is expected to attract the next billion Web3 users. Magic Eden is developing a user-friendly platform supported by industry-leading minting and trading solutions under the direction of former experts in cryptocurrency, technology, and gaming.
