Wong is well known for sharing leaked images and posting the results of yet to launch technology platform features. The blogger and tech hacker has been featured in Forbes 30 Under 30 2022.
Solana is the third largest blockchain by NFT sales with $1.26 billion sold to 244,107 buyers out of 1,324,284 transactions. In mid-October, FTX launched an NFT marketplace that first supported Solana-based NFTs, and the exchange later added Ethereum-based NFT support.
The Solana NFT Magic Eden marketplace is the most popular NFT marketplace leveraging the SOL channel today with 414,260 traders and $706 million in total sales volume. Since Polygon fees are much cheaper than Ethereum’s Layer 1 (L1) fees, Opensea trading volume on the Polygon network has much increased since the establishment of the chain. The Solana network fee is negligible compared to the average L1 usage fee of Ethereum.
