Abstract
This proposal introduces native, per-collection community hubs integrated directly into Magic Eden. These hubs function as decentralized, wallet-based chat rooms or forums for holders, traders, and creators of NFT collections. Only verified NFT holders have full access, while non-holders can view in read-only mode. Optional $ME staking/holding features allow community owners to enable Trust Score Badges or premium roles (moderator/curator).
The hubs aim to:
Boost engagement and session times.
Encourage responsible participation via Trust Score Badges.
Provide flexible $ME adoption for communities that want premium features.
Preserve decentralization and privacy no KYC required.
Motivation
Current Gap: Users rely on external platforms (Discord, Telegram), fragmenting community engagement and reducing retention.
Opportunity: Native hubs retain users on-platform, strengthen communities, and increase trading activity.
Optional Incentives: Trust Score Badges and $ME staking/holding encourage responsible behavior and premium feature adoption without forcing token use.
Community Appeal: Holder-only participation ensures exclusivity, making collections more desirable to own and engage with.
Key Terms
Collection Hub: Native chat/forum dedicated to a specific NFT collection.
Wallet-Gated Access: Verified NFT holders can post; non-holders can only read.
$ME Staking/holding Roles: Optional premium roles unlocked through $ME staking/holding.
Trust Score Badge: Credibility badge for $ME stakers/holders who hold the collection, displayed in chat and profile.
Decentralized Moderation: Fully wallet-based, privacy-preserving governance of hub actions.
