Summary
In today’s episode, David is joined by Co-Founder and CEO of Tensor, Ilja Moisejevs and CTO of Tensor, Richard Wu.
The three cover: How the different properties and foundation of Solana impact the product decisions that Richard and Ilja have made at Tensor? What are the first things that someone would notice that's different about Tensor, versus the NFT marketplaces on Ethereum? How did the $JITO airdrop impact the Tensor ecosystem? What about the Tensorians, the native PFP NFT of Tensor…who rocks a tensorian, and why?
And of course, we had to ask Richard and Ilja whether or not Tensor will be joining in on the Solana airdrop fun…you won’t believe the answer.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of the NFT ecosystem on Solana. |
| 0:07.0 | That's right, it's a Solana episode today on the show. |
| 0:10.0 | We're having the two co-founder of Tensor, the leading NFT marketplace on Salana. |
| 0:14.8 | Bakedization, I'm sure you're all familiar with NFT marketplaces, but what about being on |
| 0:20.3 | Salana makes it different. |
| 0:22.6 | How do the different properties and foundation |
| 0:24.7 | that Solana offers impacts the product decisions |
| 0:27.8 | that Richard and Ilia have made at Tensor? |
| 0:30.6 | What are the first things that someone would notice is different about Tensor versus the NFT |
| 0:34.2 | marketplaces on Etherium? |
| 0:35.8 | How did the Gido air drop impact the Tensor ecosystem and what about the Tensaurians? |
| 0:40.4 | The native NFT PFP of Tensaur, who rocks a Tensorian and why. |

| 0:51.5 | I enjoy talking to some of the Dev teams on Salana asking about |
| 0:54.5 | them about why Salana. What about Salana nerd sniped them? Many of these |
| 0:58.2 | devvets I talked to all dabbled with Ethereum and then eventually moved |
| 1:01.8 | over to Salana and stuck with it. |
| 1:04.0 | Why? Questions like these I'm always curious about as to why people end up in the ecosystems |
| 1:08.7 | that they end up in in crypto. So let's go ahead and get right into the conversation |
| 1:12.3 | with Ilia and Richard from Tensor, but first a moment to talk about these |
| 1:15.0 | fantastic sponsors that make this show possible, especially Krakkin. |
