Jun 27, 2024, 03:46 PM

Solana has introduced a new feature called Blinks, which is revolutionizing how users interact with the blockchain. Blinks enable a variety of on-chain transactions directly on the X platform, including making transactions through Phantom, swapping tokens via Jupiter, long/shorting tokens with Drift, direct staking using Helius, and buying/selling NFTs on Tensor. Users can also use referral links for memecoins. This innovation, announced in partnership with Saydialect, aims to enhance retail adoption and has seen rapid uptake among developers. Builders from the Solana ecosystem have quickly adopted Blinks, creating numerous applications and utilities, with over 50 ideas already available. A Q&A livestream and workshops are being organized to help users and developers understand and utilize these new features.
