A trading terminal for Solana NFTs with pool-based liquidity, sweeping and analytics that make it the venue serious traders actually use. It is Solana-only and makes no attempt to be friendly to newcomers.

Solana only, with keyboard-driven tooling built for high-frequency trading.
Tensor is a trading terminal that happens to sell NFTs: sweeping, pool bids, portfolio tooling and a keyboard-driven interface designed for volume rather than for browsing. That focus is why professional Solana flow concentrates here rather than at the friendlier alternatives.
AMM-style pools provide standing bids, so a holder can sell into liquidity instead of waiting for a buyer to appear. Pool orders sit in on-chain escrow, which the interface states clearly, while ordinary listings remain in your wallet through a program-scoped delegation.
The fee schedule including pool fees is published, and royalty handling is stated per collection rather than left ambiguous. In a market that spent two years arguing about creator payments, saying plainly what you do is the minimum.
Solana only, and intimidating for a first-time collector. Anyone buying one piece of art a year should use Magic Eden and leave this to the people whose screens have eight panels.
A standing pool bid means you can sell immediately at a known price instead of listing and hoping. The price is lower than a patient sale would fetch, and knowing that trade exists is what separates traders from holders.
Solana traders moving several pieces a week who value execution speed over presentation.
For professional Solana trading, yes — pool liquidity, sweeping and speed. For casual collecting, Magic Eden is friendlier and covers the same chain.
Ordinary listings stay in your wallet through a program-scoped delegation. Pool orders are held in on-chain escrow, which the interface discloses.
Solana only. Its depth on that chain is the reason to use it.
