Solana-Based NFT Marketplace Tensor to Launch TNSR Governance Token
An NFT marketplace on the Solana blockchain called Tensor has announced its plans to launch a governance token called TNSR. This comes as Tensor’s protocols have facilitated over $2 billion worth of Solana NFT trading volume in the last 90 days, accounting for more than 70% of Solana’s total NFT trading volume.
Tensor’s Impressive Trading Volume
In a recent tweet, Tensor Foundation revealed that its protocols have traded over $2 billion worth of Solana NFTs, making it a dominant player in the market.

The Launch of TNSR
The announcement from Tensor Foundation included the introduction of its governance token, TNSR. However, the foundation did not provide specific details about the token’s launch.
“TNSR will govern Tensor protocols that have already traded over $2bn worth of NFTs on the fastest, most scalable blockchain – Solana.”
Predicting the Future of NFT Trading
The organization emphasized that while NFTs are currently considered a niche community on the fringes of the web, they predict that this asset class will gain widespread adoption and power various industries in the coming months. They stated that NFT traders will go from thousands to billions, signaling significant growth potential for this market.
Tensor’s Role in the Ecosystem
Tensor Foundation stated that their protocols will be adopted by the foundation itself and governed by the Tensor community using TNSR. They also highlighted that TNSR will play a crucial role in incentivizing creators and NFT builders within the ecosystem.
