Most of the noise surrounding the NFT market lately has been dominated by headlines and data that paint a particularly bleak picture for the industry. But Solana Labs says there are still people interested in joining the fray and is working on a new AI tool to help them take the plunge.

Among efforts to make it easier to select the perfect first collection, Solana Labs is working on an AI recording that will help users identify and purchase the non-fungible tokens best suited to their wants and needs.

Tchwella said Solana may soon unveil AI-powered applications that could help new NFT buyers not only identify which collections are “trending,” but also choose the communities that fit their profile.
“We see an interest in learning more… and especially in learning who you want to be associated with [from] newcomers to this space,” Tchwella added.
While NFTs minted on the Solana blockchain are generally significantly less valuable than digital assets on Ethereum, such as the expensive Bored Ape Yacht Club and Azuki NFTs, Solana has been making strides in growing its ecosystem in recent months.
