In this episode of The Unstoppable Podcast, we’re talking to Zhuoxun Yin, Co-Founder and COO of Magic Eden, the leading NFT marketplace on Solana. Zhuoxun is here to talk about NFTs, Solana, and building marketplaces.

Zhuoxun shares what he finds meaningful about building a marketplace, and we talk about the communities that are forming around Magic Eden that go beyond simple transactions. We also talk about how game developers can integrate marketplaces into their games; and how to build communities within Solana.

We discuss the decentralization spectrum and the pros and cons of launching a project as a DAO versus a different approach.
