Hyperspace: Defining the Future of Open Web Marketplaces

Today, we’re thrilled to announce the rebranding of Solanalysis — we’re now Hyperspace — the NFT aggregator for Solana.

As part of our transformation into Hyperspace, we are proud to share with you the completion of our seed round of financing to hypercharge our development to provide our community with a superior NFT shopping experience.

The Solana space has evolved independently of Ethereum. We’ve found ourselves in a multi-marketplace world and we believe that the future will be even further fragmented as new marketplaces, or storefronts, emerge to serve specific verticals and different audiences. As a result, liquidity is fragmented.

That’s why we set out to build a truly open NFT marketplace experience built on top of aggregation and composability in order to encourage discovery, maximize liquidity and enable further ecosystem development.

So, what is Hyperspace?

We’re a marketplace aggregator for Solana NFTs, providing user-friendly discovery and shopping across Solana marketplaces. We want to make buying and selling NFTs easy.

Our aggregation allows buyers and sellers to access full liquidity from one unified frontend, at no additional cost. For buyers, seeing full liquidity allows you to access the cheapest prices for any collection or subset of tokens. For sellers, you can continue to list anywhere and now have your listings appear in more than one place.

Users will also be able to bid and list their NFTs directly on Hyperspace at the cheapest fees (1% total seller fee) as we look to enable composability. We want partners to be able to surface liquidity from our platform and even make it possible for anyone to run their own NFT store. Now others can participate in the marketplace economy and incorporate their own fee structure. To this end, we will be creating developer-friendly and creator-friendly tools, including SDKs and APIs, to allow third parties to develop their decentralized front ends.

We will continue to maintain our creator launchpad, with increased emphasis on helping creators and brands set up their own web3 stores and monetize digital goods as a way to better connect with their audiences.

Community

As we continue to build out our roadmap, we don’t want to lose sight of who we’re building for and why. We will look to become increasingly community-governed and community-owned as a platform, and find ways to reward our users for being on this journey with us.
