Solana has introduced Solana Actions and Blinks, two groundbreaking features designed for mass adoption. These innovations enhance the blockchain’s utility across finance, NFTs, payments, and gaming.
Simplifying Onchain Transactions with Solana Actions
Solana Actions allows users to perform onchain transactions across multiple platforms, including websites, social media, and physical QR codes. Consequently, this tool makes it easier for developers to incorporate blockchain functionalities directly into their applications.
Users can now accomplish tasks like purchasing NFTs, tipping creators, and staking assets without leaving their current platform. Moreover, this integration significantly enhances the user experience.
Enhancing Accessibility with Solana Blinks
Solana Blinks transforms any Action into a shareable link, enabling websites to initiate Solana transactions directly. Therefore, this innovation allows social media and other platforms to facilitate onchain interactions without redirecting users to external sites. Ultimately, the goal is to make decentralized applications more user-friendly and accessible.
Immediate Integration for Businesses
Both Solana Actions and Blinks are available for businesses to integrate into their existing offerings immediately. Thus, companies can quickly leverage these tools to enhance their services.
Mainstream Adoption of Solana Actions and Blinks
“Access to blockchain protocols has traditionally been limited to dApps and other wallet-aware tools,” said Jon Wong, head of ecosystem engineering at the Solana Foundation. “Now, Solana Actions and Blinks allow any website and application on the internet to be a distribution point for onchain interactions – furthering the goal of mainstream adoption.”
“These simple yet powerful tools bring blockchain to everyone, everywhere by lowering the barriers to entry and paving the way for broader adoption of blockchain-based transactions.”
Chris Osborn, founder of Dialect, added: “Solana Actions and Blinks deliver on one of the internet’s original promises: they make experiences portable, shareable, and actionable on any surface. From your X feed, you can buy an NFT, tip a creator, receive money, vote, stake, swap, and so much more.”
