Magic Eden, a prominent platform in the NFT space, has encountered significant backlash following the launch of its $ME token airdrop. The rollout, intended to distribute tokens through the Magic Eden mobile app, was marred by technical issues including app freezes, endless loading screens, and error messages, leaving many users unable to claim their tokens. The platform's mandatory use of its mobile wallet further complicated the process, with reports of the wallet being buggy and inconsistent. Despite these challenges, Magic Eden has acknowledged the issues and is actively working to resolve them, promising that unclaimed tokens will be distributed to stakers in the future. The community's reaction has been vocal, with influential figures in the NFT space criticizing the platform's execution and reliability.
