About Tensor
Tensor (TNSR) is the governance token for the Tensor protocol ecosystem, a decentralised set of trading protocols for NFTs on Solana. These protocols, created by Ilja Moisejevs and Richard Wu, initially focused on NFT data aggregation before expanding to include a full suite of NFT trading tools, including a marketplace and automated market maker. Tensor leverages Solana’s high transaction speeds and low fees to support large-scale NFT trading, and TNSR tokenholders participate in community governance, deciding on protocol changes and trading fee adjustments. TNSR also provides holders with trading discounts and supports proposals to maintain and grow the Tensor ecosystem through the Tensor DAO.
Tensor (TNSR) is the governance token for the Tensor protocol ecosystem, a suite of decentralised trading protocols for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) built on the Solana blockchain. These protocols, managed by the Tensor Foundation, are designed to facilitate efficient and permissionless trading of NFTs with low fees, leveraging Solana's high throughput and speed. Tensor’s ecosystem includes several protocols for NFT trading, including Tensor Marketplace, a decentralised marketplace for buying and selling NFTs; Tensor AMM (Automated Market Maker), which allows for automated, permissionless NFT trading; Tensor Price Lock, an advanced protocol within the marketplace and AMM for specific price lock trades; Tensor Escrow, which handles fund escrowing across the ecosystem; and Tensor Whitelist, managing whitelisting of specific NFT collections.
The TNSR token is also involved in governance, giving holders the ability to influence protocol decisions and modify trading fees. Additionally, TNSR can be used to receive discounts on trading fees within the Tensor ecosystem.
Tensor (TNSR) serves several functions within the Tensor ecosystem:
TNSR is the primary governance token, enabling holders to propose and vote on Tensor Improvement Proposals (TIPs). These proposals fall under three categories:
- Protocol: Changes to trading fee structures or fee splits between protocols and front-end platforms.
- Process: Adjustments to governance rules or decision-making procedures within Tensor DAO.
- Operations: Initiatives for branding, marketing, and community growth.
Governance proposals are discussed on a dedicated forum before voting on Realms (a Solana-based DAO platform), followed by review by a security council for final execution. Proposals need 10 million TNSR votes to pass and are subject to a cool-off period to allow changes to votes before finalisation.
TNSR provides users with a 25% reduction in protocol fees when listings are created with TNSR, incentivising its use for trading.
TNSR holders control the token supply and can vote on inflation rates if necessary to replenish the community treasury.
Tensor was founded by Ilja Moisejevs and Richard Wu. Ilja Moisejevs serves as CEO, and Richard Wu as CTO. The project began as a tool for NFT price discovery and data aggregation on Solana, later expanding into a full NFT trading platform. Tensor’s founders built the platform with a focus on leveraging Solana's low transaction fees and high-speed blockchain infrastructure, which they saw as ideal for enabling high-volume, cost-effective NFT trading. Both Moisejevs and Wu bring strong technical backgrounds to Tensor; they have prior experience with trading infrastructure and large-scale data systems, which has been central to Tensor’s development and rapid growth.
