Solana Introduces 'Blinks' for On-Chain Transactions via Social Media with Phantom and Backpack Integration

Jun 25, 2024, 01:23 PM

Solana has introduced a new feature called 'Blinks,' which are blockchain links that allow users to initiate on-chain transactions directly from social media platforms like X. This innovation, developed in collaboration with Dialect and integrated into wallets like Phantom and Backpack, aims to make blockchain interactions more seamless and accessible. Blinks enable users to vote, donate, mint, swap, and pay using Solana without leaving their social media feeds. Additionally, Solana has rolled out new developer tools to embed web3 transactions into websites, social media, and QR codes, further enhancing the user experience and broadening the reach of blockchain technology. Blinks are now live on platforms such as JupiterExchange, sanctumso, tensor_hq, and helium.
