After years of building and trading together, Slingshot will be sunsetting as a standalone app on January 6, 2025.
This is not the end — it’s the beginning of the next chapter.
From day one, our mission was clear: make universal USDC the simplest way to trade across chains. That vision is now coming to life inside Magic Eden — starting with the new Magic Eden Wallet (ME Wallet) and App 2.0.
The core innovations you love from Slingshot will live on inside the ME Wallet, alongside multi-chain support, a mobile-first experience, and built-in rewards.
Your journey continues — just in a bigger ecosystem.

Are my funds safe?
