Magic Eden co-founder and CEO Jack Lu published on X outlining some principles for ecosystem and community building after the launch of ME, which include: Principle 1: Mission First We want blockchain maximalists (maxis) to believe that DApps are the future. Today, most cryptocurrencies are traded off-chain on centralized exchanges. In the future, Magic Eden will be the gateway for everyone to enter the cryptocurrency space, trading all on-chain assets. Principle 2: Long-term > Short-term Magic Eden is incorporating ME into its rewards program. Long-term users will receive more rewards (for example, long-term stakers will earn more rewards). On-chain adoption is thriving, but the on-chain economy will take years to fully develop. That’s why I’m locking my tokens for at least 18 months. Principle 3: All chains, all assets, all communities We will connect all ecosystems to build a strong cross-cryptocurrency on-chain maxis community. Magic Eden is the only DApp in the cryptocurrency space that simultaneously penetrates tokens and NFTs, covering more than 15 chains by the end of the year. This is why we can execute the strategy of “all chains, all assets.” Principle 4: Growth > Division The ME community should be enthusiastic and friendly. Cryptocurrency often feels nihilistic and PVP. However, if we want to grow the largest community, we must be simple, fun, and safe. In the long run, this will bring more success for everyone. We do not support ongoing infighting, passing the buck, nor do we endorse arguing over how to divide the cake; we will focus on how to increase users. Principle 5: Contribute value to receive value We want to invite everyone to join and grow the ME community. We will share many ideas on what we think should be done and invite users to use and build products, create content, advocate for the community, and share ideas. Everyone hates those toxic farmers who contribute too little but take too much. Real ME community members who believe in and contribute to this community will receive more rewards. Lu finally calls: “If this resonates with you, we hope you will join us. If not, that’s okay—thank you for using Magic Eden, but you’re free to sell your tokens and move on. For those who stay, welcome to the ME community. Joining instructions will be released soon.
