About

What is Magic Eden?

Magic Eden is an NFT marketplace whose help center lists Solana (SOL) as the supported network for NFT transactions. It charges 0% to list and 2% on transactions, and buyers can choose to honor creator royalties. On 30 June 2026 it published a guide to deprecating its EVM and Bitcoin marketplace surfaces and the Magic Eden Wallet.

How Magic Eden works

Magic Eden's help center now lists Solana (SOL) as the supported network for NFT transactions.

Besides listings and offers, you can run AMM pools: buy-side, sell-side or double-sided pools that move price along a curve after each fill, with an LP fee you set between 0% and 10%. Escrow lets you back up to 100 collection or item offers from one shared balance; an offer goes inactive when that balance cannot cover it.

Royalties are chosen by the buyer on collections that have not adopted the MIP-1 standard: full, half or none, with full as the default. Sellers receive the list price minus the platform fee, and buyers pay the list price plus the royalty share they picked. You set the preference from the settings icon on a collection page, and it stays in place for later trades until you change it.

How to start with Magic Eden

  1. Connect a Solana wallet such as Phantom and click Buy Now on an item page, then approve in your wallet.
  2. Some collections also accept card or ETH payment through Crossmint, which holds the NFT in a Crossmint web wallet until you transfer it out.
  3. The help center's marketplace changes guide links to a wallet migration article titled for completion before April 1st, for users of the Magic Eden Wallet.

Magic Eden fees and limits

  • Magic Eden charges a 2% platform fee on every transaction on its Solana marketplace and 0% to list.
  • If you run an AMM pool, you set your own LP fee between 0% and 10% per trade, and the help center warns that enforced royalties cut into a pool's margin.

The seller receives the list price minus that fee. Creator royalties come on top and are set by the creator: on collections without the MIP-1 standard the buyer chooses full, half or no royalty, full by default, and pays the list price plus the chosen share, while MIP-1 collections enforce royalties. The fees article does not list Solana network fees.

Risks to know before using Magic Eden

  • The help center says MoonPay crypto selling inside the Magic Eden app is not supported in Louisiana, New York, Texas or the US Virgin Islands, and app swaps are unavailable in the US Virgin Islands and American Samoa.
  • Its June 30, 2026 changes guide lists the EVM and Bitcoin marketplace surfaces as deprecated, so help articles that still describe Ethereum, Base, Polygon or Bitcoin Ordinals features may no longer apply.
