代币的发布被宣传为 NFT 平台的一个重要里程碑,但由于用户的不满而黯然失色。许多参与者在社交媒体上抱怨领取分配的空投的困难。
要从空投中接收代币,系统会提示用户下载 Magic Eden 的移动应用程序,扫描桌面设备上的二维码,链接钱包,然后领取代币。
根据 X 上的几位加密货币爱好者的说法,该过程被认为过于复杂,而且移动应用程序出现故障且难以导航。 “我的应用程序卡住了,无法领取,人们像热cake一样抛弃我。太棒了,”一位用户抱怨道。
$ME 代币的初始交易活动使其完全摊薄估值 (FDV) 在交易初期达到 150 亿美元。然而,随着越来越多的用户成功处理空投,并且一些用户选择出售,FDV 急剧下降,最终稳定在 50 亿美元左右。
Magic Eden $ME代币在大约 90 分钟内市值蒸发了超过 90 亿美元,跌幅接近 69%。

Some users reported losing funds during the claiming process, alleging that their wallets were drained as they navigated the platform’s convoluted steps. Meanwhile, others who managed to claim and sell their tokens celebrated their gains, dismissing criticism as complaints from those who missed out on the opportunity.
Industry insiders criticized the airdrop process, suggesting that it deviated from security best practices. Moreover, wallet security experts at Coindesk found that Magic Eden wallets retain users’ recovery phrases and private keys within the app without providing a clear option to delete this sensitive information.
“It’s a very bad idea to store this stuff” anywhere digitally, be it locally on one’s own device or – even worse – remotely on a company’s servers,” one crypto-security sleuth going by the pseudonym Ogle remarked.
The ME Foundation, which backs the Magic Eden platform, announced that the $ME token went live at 9 a.m. ET on December 10. As the official token for the Magic Eden ecosystem, $ME aims to enhance user engagement across Solana, Bitcoin, and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains. The token is designed to reward users and drive participation in the expanding Magic Eden ecosystem.
“We’re incredibly excited for today’s launch and the opportunity to foster a passionate, cross-chain community of users,” said Matt Szenics, Director of the ME Foundation.

“The $ME token represents the power of on-chain trading applications, and there will be innovative incentives rewarding users for trading all assets on all chains. $ME is becoming a token for on-chain maxis everywhere,” he continued.
The token’s total supply is capped at 1 billion, with 12.5% allocated to the airdrop. This initial distribution of 125 million tokens will remain available to users until February 1, 2024. Additionally, 50% of the total supply has been reserved for community incentives, while the remaining 37.5% is allocated to contributors and strategic participants.
Magic Eden has positioned $ME as a key component of its strategy to power the on-chain economy, offering tools for cross-chain trading, minting, and wallet protocols. The platform claims that $ME will represent the largest community of users, who can earn rewards for trading assets across all supported chains.
