Magic Eden has acquired Slingshot!

About the acquisition 

Magic Eden’s mission is simple: Make crypto easy and accessible for everyone.

The undisputed leader in cross-chain NFT trading is now setting its sights on token trading — aiming to dominate the space with the same innovation and ease-of-use across all chains.

Magic Eden has acquired Slingshot, doubling down on that mission — establishing itself as an industry leader in token trading.

This move solidifies Magic Eden’s vision to become the CEX killer — offering users the easiest, most powerful way to trade all assets, on all chains, with anything.

Slingshot brings deep liquidity aggregation, and the best chain abstraction technology on the market, allowing users to have one Universal Balance to trade all assets on all chains.  This transforms the future of trading, where people no longer need to worry about bridging or gas fees, positioning Magic Eden to be a future category leader in both NFTs and token trading.
