co-founder @tensor_hq @VECTORDOTFUN. Hiring for Tensor! https://t.co/lyf9msf3T3

Joined March 2016
wtf is @VECTORDOTFUN?. It's the culmination of months of blood, sweat and Celsius. Shortly after Season 3 ended, @_ilmoi and I got the team together for an offsite and broke the news that we had to reinvent ourselves. Our beloved users were fatigued with the NFT market, and.

What is happening:. - Someone nuked SOL on-chain. Probably market sold a bunch of it into pools. - SOL down to $200 on-chain. - A bunch of arb bots started bombarding Jup + DEX, since CEXs were still at $250. - This caused a spike in priority fees for DEXs as everyone tries to.

Tensor was sitting at 0.5% market share in January 2023. In <1 year, we're at 70%. And this is all because we double downed on Solana, and we had the greatest community behind us ❤️. Here's to growing the pie in 2024 🚀. ✅ - 60% Nov 22.✅ - 70% Nov 22
Never thought we'd reach this mark THIS QUICKLY but. ✅ 50% - Apr 27. We've reached escape velocity!!! 📈⚡️

WE DID IT. Solana just flipped ETH, and it's not even 2024. You have no idea what this means to the entire @tensor_hq team ❤️. We were rejected by nearly every VC at the beginning of this year, and now we've shown them that there is something here after all. LETS GO!!! 🚀⚛️⚡️
The 2024 goal of Tensor is simple. To make Solana the #1 chain for all things NFTs. Volume, user count, new use cases. If you align with our goal, then Tensor is the marketplace for you.

Robinhood delists SOL b/c SEC. SEC still issues a Wells notice. There is no compromising: we have to fight back.

The @googlecloud partnership with @solana is actually MASSIVE. Here's why:. ✅ Google becoming THE cloud provider for Solana dapps.✅ Node-as-a-service ➡️ massive cost savings.✅ Archival data as a service 🤯. A mini-🧵 from a Solana dev who's chewing glass atm. 1/7 👇👇.

Exactly 1 year ago (11/23/2022), @_ilmoi and I signed the paperwork for @tensor_hq to become an official company. We had just launched our first contract, TensorSwap, but had 0% market share. It's incredible to see how far we've come, with 69% market share today 🤯. We couldn't

Jito literally dropped $10K USD to people who staked as little as a couple of SOL. The wealth transfer to the people is real. Incredible.

This is crazy. BONK saved Solana on Christmas 2022. BONK is saving the Solana Saga Phone on Christmas 2023. Unlike other dog coins, BONK has been the savior of the most battle-tested high-throughout L1. It’s not just a meme anymore. This is religion.

The vision for Tensor in 2024 is to allow anyone to build a Tensor-sized platform. We want to unlock a truly open and shared liquidity for all things NFT on Solana. Let Tensor users become your users. Bootstrap off of our liquidity. Tensor will go from 6 devs to 1000 in 2024.

Sad to see this happen: a pretty big hit to the Solana NFT community. We were actually approached by teddies for the launch on Tensor, but our DD process didn't come back positive (massive kudos to the Tensor launchpad team on their research here!). Stay safu and always DYOR!.

Points are a double edged sword. They’ve gamified NFT trading, but clearly there are negative externalities surfacing. All feedback from the community have been noted, and we’ll be pushing out some aggressive updates to eliminate the toxic farming. Let’s bring back the fun 🤝.

Tensor just passed 10M SOL in all-time volume. That's >$1bn dollars w/ today's price 🎉. Wow. @tensor_hq by the numbers:.🚀 10M SOL volume.🧑🎨 325K SOL royalties given back to creators.🙂 700K MAUs.💪 ~10 full-time contributors. Here's to our beloved users, Solana and 2024 🥂.

@brian_armstrong Hey Brian, Solana already supports <1 second and <1 cent txs. In fact, @Shopify already supports @solana Pay on nearly all stores today. Totally get that Base is built to be more scalable in the EVM stack, but thoughts on growing the crypto pie and giving Solana some love? ❤️.

Hi @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland: your regressive changes to cap gains inclusion will 100% push out what little remains of entrepreneurship in Canada. I try hard to remain in Canada while running @tensor_hq, but this will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. The tech scene.

I don’t think people yet understand the massive transformation for Tensor in 2024. Tensor will go from a single dapp to a platform for 100s of dapps. @saydialect was the 1st to build on top of Tensor’s protocol. Now we will make it 10x easier for anyone to build on top of.

When we plateaued at 1% market share, @_ilmoi and I had a deep convo about whether we should continue building Tensor or if we should pivot. Getting to #1 seemed impossible. But my gut told me that we had low double digit odds of flipping. Then we hired @KRTrades_, and after 2.
#1 marketplace 🎉. Thank you @solana community for believing in us. Here’s to making Solana the #1 chain for NFTs!

People are paying a 200% premium to get exposure to SOL in the equity markets. A SOL ETF is inevitable.

The only way for Solana to become #1 is if all NFT protocols are permissionless. Challenge to @MagicEden: remove your co-signing. Let's grow the pie together, not fight for the scraps.
Hey @MagicEden, if you guys need an API key for Tensor listings, DM me. Our SDK is also freely available and best of all: our program is fully permissionless :).

I will convert 50% of my equity portfolio into COIN if @brian_armstrong will acknowledge that Solana already has <1 second & <1 cent tx, and work towards integrating SOL deeply into the Coinbase ecosystem. Happy to concede that Base is one of the most promising L2s to scale ETH.

416
I’m sorry but bridging between L1s/L2s is just not there yet, no matter what you say. If I’m….- paying $100+ to bridge USDC.- phoning a friend to get MATIC onto Polygon.- signing up for a CEX just to bridge w/ a new chain. No matter how many chains we build, we’ll never reach.

There's a lot of talk about NFTs being dead/boomer and the new thing is meme coins. People don't understand that these things all follow a cycle. NFTs are coming back. In full force and overwhelmingly on the retail chain of crypto (Solana). I'll bet my money on this any day.

If you're investing in the Solana ecosystem, you're investing in the prototypical garage startup crew that defined the early 2000s of Silicon Valley. We've been FUDed. Hate raided. Ignored by VCs. But we're scrappy, and we keep building even if we have 1/10th the devs + $$.

This just blows my mind. 5 out of the top 10 by volume are Solana collections. 0 are from ETH. The Lindy effect is BS. Culture and community leads liquidity in NFTs.

In the last NFT bull market on Solana, there were a lot of projects trashing on each other just to gain an incremental advantage in attention. This bull market is different. All of us still here have been through hell, and it's no longer about knife fights to maintain a piece.

"Why doesn't Tensor go cross-chain?". Going cross-chain vs doubling down on a single chain is highly contextual. Wallets? Yes 100% go cross-chain. NFT trading? It depends on your vision. The cross-chain world view sees NFTs as meme coins w/ JPEGs, and traders will want to.

Reflecting: 6 months ago I. - knew nothing about Solana or NFTs.- had 0 experience with real-time data pipelines.- didn't know @_ilmoi. Since then we've built 2 product lines for @tensor_hq . (TensorSwap & TensorTrade) and won 2nd & 3rd at 2 .Solana hackathons. How?. 1/2.

Unpopular opinion: the reason why there hasn't been killer consumer apps w/ longevity in crypto is not because of VC money chasing infra, but because incentive alignment is too short-termist. Liquidity events happen way too early, often before PMF. Capital chase narratives &.

0 exaggeration: the only reason we could continue building @tensor_hq was b/c of our angels. Many were Tensor users who decided to write us a check even though their own bags were down 95%. It literally kept the lights on as we were out of hackathon money & had a big AWS bill.
9 out of 10 VCs told @tensor_hq to switch chains. Impressive fortitude to stay the course.

The reason why I'm bullish on Solana as an L1 is not just because it has fast + cheap txs. It's because of culture. The Solana NFT boom planted the seeds for the diehard Solana community that dominates CT attention. Good L1s have tech, Great L1s have tech & culture.

Vector is more than just memecoins. It is a bet on hyperfinancialization and social trading. Everything will be tokenized. Tokenized attention is the next generation’s TikTok, and Vector is the end state of how attention will be traded.
