As more users flood into the NFT space in the coming years. The number of marketplaces seems to be growing exponentially alongside them with no signs of stopping. In the last year alone we saw the rise of LooksRare, Magic Eden, and Paras.
Having just been rug pulled by an Ethereum NFT collection, Jose Chavez-Navarro quickly dove headfirst into the Solana NFT space rumored to be an NFT trader’s paradise. Solana boasts close to gasless minting, close-knit communities, and underrated NFT collections giving back to the Solana ecosystem. However, he noticed a few major issues when migrating from Ethereum to Solana.
- Lack of core NFT infrastructure.
- Fake NFT listings on every marketplace.
- Easy to get lost with 40+ NFT marketplaces.
- Navigating between different marketplaces is a hassle.
