Magic Eden announced a new revenue distribution scheme that will allocate 15% of the marketplace’s income to the ME token ecosystem starting February 1. The plan introduces a sharing model that combines token buybacks with direct payments to users who stake ME. According to the platform, 50% of the allocated amount will be used to repurchase ME tokens on the open market, while the remaining 50% will be distributed in USDC to stakers. Stablecoin rewards will be claimable on a monthly basis starting in March.
