The premier cross-chain NFT platform, Magic Eden (“The Company”), has announced the extension of its Launchpad and marketplace to accommodate Polygon NFT minting and trade. By partnering with renowned game developers like Shatterpoint and Infinite Drive with Aston Martin in December and Taunt Battleworld, Planet Mojo, and Kakao Games in early 2023, Magic Eden will move faster toward becoming the most fully featured multi-chain NFT platform.
Since Magic Eden launched its Launchpad at the beginning of 2022, it has established itself as the top location for NFT drops and has helped over 400 SOL and ETH projects reach market maturity. Launchpad provides the most comprehensive customization, marketing assistance, and operational execution for NFT collections entering the primary market. Launchpad is complemented by Magic Eden’s active secondary NFT market, which provides access to additional liquidity and grants access to more than 10,000 listed collections for both producers and collectors. Emerging artists, strategic IPs, and game developers will now be able to effortlessly begin and build their communities by utilizing Magic Eden’s cross-chain audience and goods thanks to its connection with Polygon.
Magic Eden’s Polygon Launchpad roll-out will begin with the blockchain gaming project Shatterpoint today. Shatterpoint is a free-to-play, action role-playing multiplayer mobile game for iOS and Android that was created by BlockGames and Estoty, a top European gaming company with more than 50 million active monthly players and over 1.5 billion total downloads. On December 18, Infinite Drive will follow this mint and become the second Polygon mint to reach Magic Eden. Aston Martin, Renault, Alpine, and more well-known and famous vehicle brands are available for players to collect in Infinite Drive, a mobile-first NFT racing platform and car enthusiast’s metaverse. Players may acquire their NFT automobiles from the Magic Eden market to assemble an unmatched collection.
Zhuoxun Yin, COO, and co-founder of Magic Eden, remarked on the news today: “We’re thrilled to formally introduce Polygon to our quick, frictionless NFT minting and trading platform experience. By enabling us to reach a broader audience, projects with strong development teams and IPs, such as Shatterpoint and Infinite Drive with Aston Martin, make this integration even more relevant. We anticipate that the market for Web3 games will be worth $1 billion, and we’re thrilled that Magic Eden will be the preferred platform for discovering and selling NFT games across chains.”
By releasing mints from the skill-based fighting game Taunt Battleworld, the auto-chess game Planet Mojo, and projects from the top Korean blockchain game developer, BORA by Kakao Games, Magic Eden will keep expanding on its gaming momentum with Polygon in Q1 2023. Chris Akhavan, a seasoned professional in the conventional and web3 gaming industries, was recently hired by Magic Eden to lead the expansion of the company’s gaming partnerships and promote the creation of cutting-edge game developer and collector experiences.
