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.
