Test, test: Magic Eden's Android App

It’s here – we’re beta testing on Android! Our public app is browsing only but invite-only beta gets a taste of full trading functionality.

Feb 2

Last Wednesday, we invited community members and partners to beta test our Android app with full trading functionality. Magic Wallet is in beta and we have over 400 people testing it. We invite you to be early. Beta test with us here and share your feedback to build the best mobile user experience.

The Magic Eden Android Experience: Our live Android app (with browsing functionality for now) has over 30,000 downloads. It’s magiceden.io for your Android device. It’s compact but doesn’t compromise — familiar desktop features have been optimized for the mobile version like upcoming launches, new collections listed and popular collections based on volume. You can also set notifications to be reminded when upcoming launches come up! With full trading functionality coming soon, you’ll be able to buy and sell NFTs within the Magic Eden app. Our latest feature, Magic Wallet, allows for a more seamless buying and selling NFT experience. Now, you can mint anywhere in the world.

Quick Stats (as of 2021):

There are over 4 billion active internet users worldwide, representing almost 60% of the global population. Of this total, 92.6% access the internet via mobile devices. (source: Statista)
Mobile phones generate 54.25% of the traffic while desktops generate 42.9%. (source: TechJury)
First-time app installs grew to 143.6 billion during the year. (source: Sensor Tower)

You can only imagine that number has grown since then.

Why Mobile? Sure, magiceden.io is mobile-responsive. But, given how rapidly moving the Solana ecosystem is, we want to provide value to users by placing convenience at their fingertips. A large number of users access Magic Eden through their mobile devices. With the app, we’re simplifying and improving the mobile user experience.

As you know, Solana with its high usability, low transaction fees and fast transaction speed, can greatly appeal to the masses. Mobile accessibility is the next step to onboarding more people onto Solana’s ecosystem, NFTs and Web3. With more people having access to smartphones than to computers, the mobile user experience reduces the barrier to entry.

🪄 Congrats, this week's top performing collections on ME! (1/26-2/1)
