Expansion of Magic Eden's Season 2 Airdrop, featuring an increased distribution of ME Tokens.
Magic Eden Boosts NFT Marketplace with Expanded Airdrop
Magic Eden, a leading NFT marketplace, has significantly bolstered its position in the competitive market landscape with the expansion of its Season 2 airdrop. The move, according to the Coincu research team, enhances Magic Eden's competitive positioning.
The airdrop, which initially distributed 10 million ME tokens in Magic Eden's Season 1, was recently increased by an additional 2 million tokens. This injection of substantial token incentives has had a profound impact on market liquidity and trader engagement across multiple blockchains.
The increased liquidity is evident in the surge of NFT listings and transactions, enhancing liquidity across supported blockchains such as Solana, Ethereum, and others integrated into Magic Eden's platform.
The airdrop rewards program, which leverages a leaderboard and rewards structure, has encouraged continued participation and trading, driving up daily active users and overall marketplace volume.
By operating on multiple blockchains, Magic Eden’s expanded airdrop has created broader participation, attracting traders from diverse ecosystems and enabling increased NFT movement between chains, thus improving market depth and cross-chain liquidity.
The ME token, with a current price of $0.72 and a market cap of roughly 116,995,916, experienced some volatility with an 18.82% decline against ETH in the 30 days around the airdrop. However, the short-term rallies and increased trading volume suggest the airdrop bolstered market activity despite price pressures.
The success and engagement from the expanded Season 2 set the stage for Season 3, which launched with even larger token rewards and governance features, further amplifying user incentives and ecosystem growth.

The total airdrop pool is worth approximately $8 million to $10 million at current prices. The expanded airdrop targets platform stakers and active traders based on on-chain activity. The 24-hour trading volume of ME reached $18,575,705, reflecting a 3.10% change.
Magic Eden's Season 1 airdrop earlier this year distributed 10 million ME tokens.
