NFT marketplace Magic Eden has launched packs of digital collectibles featuring NFT collections from notable projects across Ethereum and Solana blockchains. The marketplace also unveiled Pokémon packs and $ME rewards to participants.
For over a week, the NFT marketplace has teased the new product line, promising rewards worth five times the initial deposit participants invest. The Pokémon pack, dubbed POKÉMASTER, features popular characters like Charizard and Pikachu. Magic Eden joined forces with its two-year partner, Collector Crypt, to unveil the Pokémon packs. Collector Crypt specializes as a platform that sells real-world assets (RWA) Pokémon cards on the Solana blockchain.
Magic Eden labelled the Solana-themed NFT cards as “DIAMOND” and the Ethereum-based cards as “GOLD.” Among the packs are “PROMO Packs” that hold “GRAIL” collectibles like Pudgy Penguins and Mad Lads. This means that pack collectors can open their packs and see NFTs instead of the traditional trading cards.
The NFT marketplace believes that the latest move will drive a high level of liquidity to NFT collections and provide instant payouts that are significantly higher than the best offers on individual NFT collectibles. Participants are also eligible for 5X rewards on the platform’s native token, $ME.
Less than 24 hours after debuting the non-fungible cards, the NFT marketplace highlighted some individuals who won significant rewards. Possibly due to the massive usage, Magic Eden had to pause the packs ripping process for maintenance purposes. Once the developers patch the bugs, the NFT marketplace will resume its operations. As of the time of writing, the packs’ maintenance was still ongoing.
Interestingly, Magic Eden’s latest reward campaign comes shortly after OpenSea, its rival NFT marketplace, deployed a similar marketing scheme. It recently began distributing $12 million worth of NFTs and tokens to users from its Wave 1 treasure chest. It has already commenced plans for its second wave.
Magic Eden’s latest effort shows its commitment to staying at the forefront of the non-fungible market. Once it resumes its pack-ripping process, it could bring more benefits to those building within its ecosystem.
