Tensor NFT Marketplace: Full Review.

That's me last week with some degenerate apes or whatever. Wallet's connected, heart's racing, but where do you actually trade without getting rekt on fees or fakes? Tensor. It's the spot right now for Solana NFTs. Fast as hell, low fees, and doesn't treat you like a total noob. I usually start here 'cause Magic Eden feels kinda clunky these days. So, if you're that friend hitting me up like "Bro, walk me through Tensor," this is it. No BS, just what works.

Gas? Like ~0.000005 SOL per pop. Fees hover around 0-2.5% depending on the trade, plus whatever royalty the collection slaps on-say 4-10% typical. You'll see it all upfront. Honest.

First things first: Wallet setup or you're screwed

Okay, don't even load Tensor without Phantom or Backpack ready. I use Phantom 'cause it's dummy proof. Download if you haven't, create a wallet, send some SOL-start with 0.5-1 SOL to test. Why? Bidding or sweeping eats gas quick.

Pro tip: Set a burner wallet for degen plays. Link it via Twitter or whatever, but main thing-backup your seed phrase. Lost mine once. Nightmare.

1. Hit tensor.trade.
2. Click "Connect Wallet" top right. Phantom pops up-approve.
3. Done. You're in. If it glitches, refresh or switch networks to Solana Mainnet.

Now toggle to Lite mode if you're green. Bottom of screen, switch flips. Makes it less overwhelming. Pro mode later for the real fun.

Quick wallet tweaks I swear by

• App settings: Change explorer to Solscan. Easier to track txns than default.
• Enable notifications? Nah, Tensor's real time anyway.
• Fund check: Click your wallet address top right. See balance, inventory, activity. Zero surprises.

Scrolling collections: How to not FOMO into trash

Land on homepage. Trending collections scream at you-floor prices, volume charts, listings dropping like flies. That orange line? Listings count. If it's tanking while price holds, bullish af.

Search bar top. Type "degen" or whatever hyped drop. Boom, collection page. Floor price front and center. Analytics tab shows trades, bids, order book. Click activity for the juice-who's buying, selling, volumes spiking?

Filters? Godsend. Left sidebar: Sort by price low high, rarity rare to common. Why does this matter? Snag undervalued traits cheap. Like, filter "gold hat" on a punk drop-rarity rank pops up per NFT.

In my experience, hunt up and comers under 0.1 SOL floor. Volume over 100 SOL daily, listings under 20% supply. Sound familiar? That's the alpha.

Buying your first NFT: Step by freakin'-step

1. Pick collection. Scroll grid or list view.
2. Spot one? Click it. Rarity score, traits listed. Marketplace origin too-some list on ME, Tensor aggregates.
3. Buy button bottom. Price shows with royalty (e.g. 1.63 SOL + 4% roy + tiny Tensor fee). Total rounds up.
4. Checkout right side. Toggle to Buy. Slider for max price? Nah, fixed usually. Approve wallet txn. Twice sometimes-first compute, second pay.
5. Confirm. Sits in inventory. Set as avatar? Click it, easy.

Instant sell if bid's there. I grabbed a Wolf Capital for 1.63, flipped instant for 1.39 into a collection bid. Net quick SOL minus fees. Boom.

Issue: Insufficient SOL? Top up via Jupiter swap on site or Phantom. Slow network? Wait 2 secs, Solana's fast but peaks lag.

Sweeping like a whale without whale money

What's sweeping? Buy multiple NFTs at once. Pro move for floor grabs.

Collection page, checkout > Buy. Slider or buttons add 'em up. Total tallies live. Hit max you're comfy with-say 5 at 0.2 SOL each. Preview txns, approve all. Gas ~0.00002 SOL total.

But watch slippage on low liq. If floor jumps mid sweep, it fails partial. Cancel, retry lower count. Happened to me on a pump-lost 0.001 SOL gas waste.

Action	Gas Est.	Best For
Single Buy	~0.000005 SOL	Casuals
Sweep 5	~0.00002 SOL	Flippers
Bid Place	~0.000003 SOL	Snipers

Selling: Instant cashout or list smart

Your NFTs? Wallet dropdown > Inventory. Grid view. Click one > Sell.

Options rock. Instant sell into bids if price good-picks best offer, like 1.39 SOL on my flip. Or list fixed: Set price above floor, duration unlimited usually. Royalty deducted auto.

1. Select NFT(s).
2. List tab. Price input, say 2 SOL. Checkout > Sell side.
3. Sign txn. Listed. Check under Activity or Profile.
4. Delist? Same spot, cancel free ish (tiny gas).
5. Sold? SOL hits wallet instant. Check Phantom activity or Solscan link.

Bids work reverse. Collection bids: Bid on whole floor, auto fills cheapest. Place via Pro mode, bids tab. Advanced, but eats SOL upfront-refund if unfilled.

Potential pitfall: Royalty eats 5-10%. Check collection page. And if listed elsewhere? Tensor shows origin, might route there.

Pro mode unlocked: This is where it gets fun

Toggle Pro bottom screen. Lite's gone-full charts, order book live, TradingView vibes.

Now traits search levels up. Filter backgrounds, eyes, whatever. Rarity chart ranks 1-10k. I usually hunt top 1% under floor.

Analytics deep: Volume 24h, holders %, unique buyers. Listings vs supply graph predicts dumps.

Collection bids deep dive

Why bid collection wide? Snipe dips without babysitting. Set 1 SOL bid on 100 pcs-fills cheapest first. Max size limits it. Cancel anytime, partial fills cool.

Track: Profile > Open Orders. See fills live.

TensorSwap AMM: Passive flipping without staring at screens

Okay, this blew my mind first time. Not your basic order book. TensorSwap's AMM for market making. Buy low, sell high automated. No 9001 alerts.

Pro mode > Market Make tab. Select collection like CryptoDuckPunkz.

1. Max NFTs to buy initially-say 10. Deposits SOL for it.
2. NFTs to sell from wallet-pick 10 you're good dumping.
3. Starting price: Floor or whatever, e.g. 1 SOL.
4. Change by (delta): 5% per trade. Widens range.
5. Desired fee (spread): 5%. Your profit per round trip. Only 0% Tensor fee here, no roy.
6. Review SOL in/out. Sign. Live.

Here's the magic. Starts selling at 1 SOL. Someone sells to you at 0.95 (after fee). Price drops 5%, next buy cheaper. Flip side, sells higher as price rises.

Flat market? Fees stack. Drops? You buy cheap. Pumps? Sell high. Always wins + TNSR points. I ran one on a side collection-net 0.25 SOL fees in a day off 5 trades.

Close order? Same tab, cancel. Withdraws leftovers.

Table for noobs:

Scenario	Your Win	Example Profit
Flat	Fees	0.25 SOL (5 trips 5% 1)
Price Down	Cheap Buys + Fees	0.125 SOL + NFTs
Price Up	High Sells + Fees	0.125 SOL + SOL

Delta doesn't profit you-just range. Fee does. Start small, 2-3 NFTs.

Issue: Low volume collection? Sits forever. Pick 100+ daily vol. And SOL tied up-plan liquidity.

TNSR token: Why care if you're NFTing?

Tensor's token. Earn points trading, swap for TNSR later? Rumors of airdrop vibes. But buy it separate if bullish-exchanges like Bitrue, Kraken. USDT pair easy. Market or limit order.

Honestly, trade volume racks points faster than buying token. I ignore it mostly, focus flips.

Troubleshooting the crap that trips everyone

Txn stuck? Solscan it via wallet activity. 99% resolves in 10 secs.

Buy fails mid sweep? Lower count or max price.

Pro mode overwhelming? Back to Lite. Build up.

Scams? Stick Tensor-aggregates safe. Verify collection Twitter via Linktree.

High fees? Nah, Solana. But royalties sting-check before minting elsewhere.

Daily routine I run: My degen playbook

Morning: Scan trending. Bid collection wide on 2-3 dips.

Afternoon: Sweep floors if volume spikes.

Evening: Market make passive on alts.

Track all in Solscan bookmarks. Flip 20% gains quick. Hold rares.

One more: Profile page shows listings, bids, rewards. Customize royalties if creator? Advanced tab.

That's Tensor. Go crush it.
