ChainCatcher message: In the Solana ecosystem, the NFT marketplace MagicEden will gradually stop supporting the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and the Bitcoin Runes and Ordinals markets. Jack Lu, CEO and co-founder, said the related markets will stop operating starting March 9, the Bitcoin API will be shut down on March 27, and the crypto wallet service will end on April 1.

Jack Lu said the company will terminate its NFT buyback program and will put resources into its in-house prediction market Dicey. He said the platform’s major costs are concentrated in products that generate less revenue through contributor efforts. Going forward, it will keep the NFTPack product, which has stronger profitability, and focus on developing its crypto entertainment business.
