Magic Eden x Spark — Fast, Cheap, Native Settlement on Bitcoin
Trading on Bitcoin today can be slow, expensive, and painful. Confirmations are sluggish, fees are high, and the UX is fundamentally broken. This shouldn’t be the case.

Bitcoin deserves a first-class execution environment for native assets that respects its trust model without compromising performance or composability.
We’re excited that Magic Eden is integrating with Spark to bring fast, low-cost settlement to Bitcoin-native markets.
What we're building
Together, we’re working to unlock fast, cheap settlements for native assets on Bitcoin. We’re building new products and experiences allowing users to buy, sell, and earn assets on Bitcoin under the best conditions. Powered by Spark and LRC-20.
Initial support will include multiple market types (e.g. stablecoin<>BTC swaps), with broader use cases to follow.
Why Spark
Spark is built from first principles. Unlike other scaling solutions that layer on bridges or wrap assets into synthetic formats, Spark is entirely native to Bitcoin. Every transaction, every asset, every piece of infrastructure is rooted directly in Bitcoin’s base layer.
We designed Spark to be maximally efficient (sub-second finality, sub-cent fees) while preserving the design constraints and ethos of Bitcoin.
“We're proud to be betting on BTC DeFi,” said Jack Lu, CEO of Magic Eden. “We're going to lead the forefront of all Bitcoin DeFi to make BTC fast, fun, and for everyone with Magic Eden as the #1 BTC native app on-chain.”
“Spark is a completely agnostic protocol—purpose-built for developers to create the next generation of financial applications,” said David Marcus, CEO and co-founder of Lightspark. “We’re incredibly excited to see Magic Eden building the future of on-chain Bitcoin DeFi directly on Spark.
What’s next
The integration will go live over the next few months. We’ll share details on timelines, market support, and developer tools as they’re ready.
We’re kicking things off at BitGala on May 26th. Come by.
