Magic Eden has acquired crypto trading app Slingshot to expand beyond NFTs.
For those unfamiliar with the app, Slingshot has already attracted nearly 1 million users who appreciate its unique ability to let them trade across different blockchains without jumping through the usual hoops. This aligns with Magic Eden’s goal of making crypto trading accessible to everyone.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Magic Eden explained the acquisition: “No bridges. No CEXs. This is another major step toward our vision of providing the best platform to trade all assets on all chains.” By removing the barriers that often come with trading across different networks, Magic Eden hopes to create a more streamlined experience that caters to the needs of modern traders.
Cross-chain swaps are now live on the web, allowing users to instantly swap assets between major blockchains like Solana, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Base, with more EVM chains being added in the coming weeks.

Whether you’re moving between chains for trading or other activities, this seamless solution brings users closer to a truly interconnected crypto ecosystem, making it easier than ever to get things done.
