HOW TO EXPLORE SOLANA NFT COLLECTIONS USING TENSOR
Solana's NFT market has rapidly grown into one of the most active ecosystems in Web3, and Tensor has become its central hub for data, liquidity, and analytics. Unlike traditional marketplaces, Tensor allows users to explore, filter, and track NFT collections in real time, all without needing to connect a wallet.
This guide explains how to use Tensor.trade to browse top Solana collections, view detailed activity, and analyze floor price trends directly from the blockchain.
Step 1: Go to Tensor

Step 3: Explore a Collection
Each collection page displays:
Buy Now / Sell Now prices

On the left-hand side, Tensor provides advanced filters to help narrow your search
You can adjust:
Price range
Rarity level
Trait count
Specific attributes (such as background, clothing, or accessories)
This helps you identify undervalued NFTs or those matching a specific rarity profile without scrolling through the entire collection.
Step 5: View Individual NFT Details

You'll see:
The NFT's unique image preview
Token ID and metadata
Ownership address
Last sale price and listing activity
Tensor aggregates listings from across Solana's marketplaces, giving you the deepest liquidity data available in one interface.
Step 6 (Optional): Connect a Wallet
If you wish to trade directly, you can connect your Phantom, Backpack, or Solflare wallet by selecting Connect Wallet at the top-right corner
*This enables buying, bidding, or sweeping NFTs, but connection is completely optional for browsing and research
Conclusion
Tensor offers one of the fastest and most data-rich ways to explore Solana NFTs. Whether you're analyzing price trends, researching rarity, or tracking collection volume, it provides complete on-chain transparency through a smooth and modern interface.
