How to list NFTs on Magic Eden? (Solana & Bitcoin)

Setting Up Your Wallet for Magic Eden

1. Install Phantom or Backpack browser extension for Solana-based NFTs. Ensure the wallet is funded with SOL to cover transaction fees.

2. For Bitcoin ordinals, use a compatible wallet like Leather or Xverse that supports Taproot and inscription verification.

3. Connect your wallet directly to Magic Eden’s interface by clicking the wallet icon in the top-right corner of the site.

4. Confirm connection permissions and allow the platform to read your wallet address and associated assets.

5. Verify wallet balance and ensure sufficient native tokens are available for listing fees and potential royalties.

Preparing Your NFT for Listing

1. Confirm ownership of the NFT in your connected wallet—Magic Eden only allows listings from the verified owner address.

2. For Solana NFTs, ensure metadata is fully on-chain and complies with Metaplex standards; missing or malformed attributes may prevent successful listing.

3. For Bitcoin ordinals, verify the inscription ID and ensure it appears correctly in your wallet’s inscriptions tab before initiating the listing flow.

4. Set a fixed price or choose auction mode—Magic Eden supports both options across Solana and Bitcoin marketplaces.

5. Define royalty percentages between 0% and 10%; these are enforced at time of sale and paid automatically to the creator’s wallet.

Navigating the Listing Interface

1. Go to your profile page and select “My Collections” or “My Items”, then locate the NFT you wish to list.

2. Click the “List” button next to the asset—this opens a modal with pricing, duration, and fee summary fields.

3. Enter the desired sale price in SOL for Solana NFTs or in BTC for ordinals; decimals must conform to chain-specific precision rules.

4. Review the network fee estimate displayed—Solana transactions cost ~0.000005 SOL while Bitcoin ordinal listings involve higher UTXO management costs.

5. Confirm the transaction using your wallet; signatures are required for both token transfer authorization and marketplace contract interaction.

Managing Active Listings

1. Visit the “Active Listings” tab under your profile to view all currently listed items across both chains.

2. Cancel any listing before sale by clicking “Cancel” and approving the cancellation transaction through your wallet.

3. Edit price or duration only if the listing remains unsold—Magic Eden permits one-time edits per listing without re-signing.

4. Track offer activity: buyers can place bids on fixed-price listings, triggering notifications and requiring manual acceptance.

5. Monitor settlement status—once sold, funds appear in your wallet within seconds on Solana, or after confirmation depth on Bitcoin.
