Magic Eden Announces Expansion to the Ethereum Blockchain
Magic Eden (“the Company”), the leading community-centric NFT marketplace, announced that it will be adding and integrating Ethereum (ETH) NFTs into their platform. Since its launch in September 2021, Magic Eden has seen over 90% of secondary trading volume and US$2B USD in total trade volume for transactions on Solana (SOL) NFTs, their first supported blockchain. This news accelerates Magic Eden’s efforts to extend its presence across Web3 communities by integrating the two largest blockchains for NFTs and delivering the most feature-rich multi-chain experience for creators and collectors.
In the past 18 months, the SOL and ETH NFT markets have witnessed tremendous growth within their respective, wholly distinct, communities. Magic Eden aims to bring these two universes closer on the belief that NFTs’ social, cultural, and connective utilities should be shared across chains. By going multi-chain, Magic Eden will enable NFT creators to launch seamlessly, reach new audiences, and access added liquidity, while collectors will be able to discover new communities and connect across the passionate culture of the emerging space.
As a culture-driven and community-obsessed marketplace, Magic Eden’s ETH entry is designed to deliver multi-chain solutions that can serve both NFTs creators and collectors with the best experience possible. Collectively, the features include: Magic Eden List (a whitelist and audience targeting tool), Magic Eden Launchpad (now with ETH/SOL compatibility), and Magic Eden Drop Calendar in August. Magic Eden is also running private beta tests to support the launch of a cross-currency trading product where users can browse the most extensive selection of SOL and ETH NFTs and make purchases via SOL, ETH, or credit card. Magic Eden will also see the roll-out of cross-chain trading analytic tools in the coming months.
To extend Magic Eden’s relationship with ETH NFT creators, the platform will build on its track record of delivering best-in-class NFT launch support. Magic Eden’s ETH-compatible Launchpad features the same seamless minting set-up, white-glove marketing support, and bespoke launch build-outs that have helped bring over 300 NFT projects to market.
In the coming weeks, Magic Eden will debut its cross-chain Launchpad with EZU, a sister collection of the popular ETH project Psychedelics Anonymous, founded by Voltura (Lewis Gale). EZU will be the first native ETH project to launch on Magic Eden with the ability for users to mint in both ETH and SOL.
Creators across chains will also be able to build pre-mint traction and journey into Magic Eden’s extensive community presence via a free whitelist and holder management tool called Magic Eden List. ETH creators interested in launching their own community marketplace will also be able to leverage Magic Eden’s whitelabel marketplace solution spanning their launch and beyond.
Zhuoxun Yin, COO and Co-Founder of Magic Eden, commented, “We want to honor the creators in this space by developing tools that would address their vast needs – which is why we made Magic Eden List available as a free resource and developed a whitelabel marketplace solution. Through our cross-chain Launchpad, creators will unlock a new set of audience through which they can amplify and grow their projects, as well as tap into additional sources of liquidity. Creators launching with Magic Eden will no longer have to face the difficult decision of choosing one chain over another at the cost of limiting their potential audience reach. Web3 is a place for us to share knowledge and evolve together.”
Collectors can also look forward to a number of trading tools that will unlock access to deeper multi-chain experiences. Beginning in August, users will be able to track highly-anticipated NFT mints on SOL and ETH through Magic Eden’s Drop Calendar. The Drop Calendar was created to give the community a resource that would capture the most holistic view of upcoming mints in the NFT ecosystem. It will also integrate with Magic Eden List so that users can sign up for whitelist access for projects utilizing the tool. Magic Eden will also be running private beta tests to develop a cross-currency trading product that will empower users to purchase SOL and ETH NFTs with SOL, ETH, or credit card. Future releases will also include multi-chain compatible analytics tools to inform collectors’ decisions and NFT trades.
Jack Lu, CEO and Co-Founder of Magic Eden, added, “We believe in a collective NFT community that exists across multiple chains. Launching collector tools like the cross-chain Magic Eden Drop Calendar will be the first step towards realizing that vision. The roll-out of cross-currency purchase support for SOL and ETH NFTs will build on our efforts. The more creators and collectors can reach across chains, the more we can collectively experience powerful cultural moments on the blockchain. We are honored to be the destination that will bring the next wave of users into the Web3 movement.”

Reynold Lemkins Group Attends The Asset ESG Annual Summit to Explore New Paths for Corporate Sustainable Development
ESG (environment, social, and governance) is not only an important driving force for promoting the long-term sustainable development of enterprises, but has also become a key factor in enhancing their comprehensive competitiveness. However, as the discussion around ESG has progressed to the present day, there have been an increasing number of related doubts. Especially for enterprises in Asia, the world’s fastest-growing region, finding a balance between achieving ESG goals and maintaining profitability has become an important issue that urgently needs to be addressed.
Against this backdrop, the 7th ESG Annual Summit of The Asset, with the theme of “Staying the course, scaling up,” was recently held in Singapore. This summit brought together outstanding entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers around Asia to jointly explore how to integrate ESG into corporate strategies and look forward to new opportunities for future business development. As a partner of the Summit, President and CIO of Reynold Lemkins Liu Haoran shared his view on how corporate financing and risk management strategies should effectively combine with the ESG concept.
How should investors choose enterprises with long-term value?
Reynold Lemkins Group has been committed to playing the role of “patient capital,” providing long-term and stable support and companionship to enterprises, and actively involving more long-term investors in the market. At the same time, Reynold Lemkins is also committed to supporting companies that can not only bring financial returns but also have long-term value. Liu Haoran said at the event, “As an investment institution, Reynold Lemkins Group has been working to promote the formulation of sustainable investment standards. Currently, we have multiple methods to evaluate whether potential investment targets have long-term value of sustainable development.”
Liu Haoran first emphasized that Reynold Lemkins closely follows the latest reports of third-party ESG rating agencies. As shown in MSCI’s 2023 report, companies with higher ESG scores usually outperform their peers in the long term. At the same time, Reynold Lemkins conducts an in-depth analysis of the relationship between a company’s financial performance and its ESG commitments through financial statements, ESG reports released by the company, and third-party audit data. The company’s innovation ability is also an important factor to consider about, companies that integrate sustainable innovation into their products and services are more likely to succeed in the future.
How can institutions lead the implementation of the ESG concept?
In the subsequent sharing, Liu Haoran mentioned, “With the rise of ESG investment, investors have begun to use more data sources to enhance their understanding and analysis capabilities of enterprise operations. Regulatory policies play an important role in this process, especially by formulating standardized disclosure requirements, which have promoted the standardized development of global sustainable investment.”
Liu Haoran pointed out that in April this year, the State Council of China issued the new “Nine Provisions,” which clearly proposed to improve the sustainable information disclosure system of listed companies. Subsequently, the Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing Stock Exchanges issued relevant self-regulatory regulatory guidelines, putting forward specific requirements for the sustainable information disclosure work of listed companies in terms of constructing a sustainable development information disclosure framework, clarifying disclosure topics, and encouraging companies to make voluntary disclosures. Since the policy was proposed, 41 listed companies in the A-share market have successively disclosed the implementation rules of the board of directors’ strategy and ESG committee or the company’s ESG management system. At the same time, 114 companies have disclosed their 2023 ESG reports, an increase of 58.33% compared with the same period last year.
Meanwhile, regulatory agencies in Hong Kong are also actively promoting ESG development. In January this year, the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (SFC) stated that it would prioritize the transformation of the financial market through technology and ESG in the next three years. At the same time, Hong Kong has also strengthened the requirements for information disclosure of listed companies, promoting the improvement of market transparency and helping investors make more informed decisions.
Liu Haoran said, “By adapting to these changes in new regulations and using the newly added data and analysis tools, investors can better integrate ESG factors into investment decisions, enabling them to identify companies that are truly committed to long-term value and sustainable development.”
How can technology enhance ESG investment insights?
Liu Haoran believes that artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms have been widely used to analyze ESG-related big data. AI can help us identify patterns and trends in the data, thereby optimizing investment strategies. According to Gartner’s forecast, by 2025, more than 50% of large enterprises will use AI to support their ESG strategies, indicating that the role of AI in ESG investment will become increasingly important.
He also added, “Blockchain technology also plays an important role in promoting supply chain transparency and ethical procurement, which is crucial for ESG compliance. According to the forecast of the World Economic Forum, by 2030, blockchain will save nearly $300 billion in costs in the global supply chain while improving transparency and traceability.”
Liu Haoran said that with the popularization of sustainability reporting software, the collection and reporting of ESG data have become more efficient, ensuring the accuracy and compliance of reports. Integrated solutions and tracking tools provided by companies such as Enablon and Sphera help enterprises manage and report their ESG performance more transparently.
“Technology not only enhances our data analysis capabilities but also helps us keep up with the trend of global sustainable investment. Reynold Lemkins will continue to be committed to standing at the forefront of this change, using technology to promote smarter and more efficient investment decisions, so that every investment can not only bring financial returns but also promote the sustainable development of society and the environment.”
