In today’s episode of Empire Santi is joined by Ilya and Richard, the Founders of Solana’s leading NFT Marketplace Tensor. They detail Tensor’s origin story, from meeting online during COVID to building Solana’s leading NFT marketplace amidst the FTX fallout. They discuss critical issues like enhancing Solana’s developer experience, decentralizing their protocol in 2024, evolving user behavior and adoption trends on Solana, and their grand vision for NFTs as the fundamental building blocks underpinning blockchain’s adoption. Thanks for tuning in!
