Solana Actions enables users to conduct on-chain transactions directly from various platforms such as websites, social media, and physical QR codes. This integration enables developers to seamlessly integrate Solana’s blockchain capabilities into their applications.
Complementing this functionality is Solana Blinks, which transforms any Action into a shareable link. This enables any website capable of displaying a URL to facilitate Solana transactions, turning ordinary websites and social media platforms into accessible points for on-chain interactions.
“Actions and Blinks fulfill 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 much more,” explained Chris Osborn, Founder of Dialect.
Meanwhile, Phantom Wallet, among other applications, enthusiastically shared the new features on X, highlighting the ability for users to conduct transactions directly on the platform.
Solana has incorporated a roster of trusted domains from partners like Jupiter, Helium, Truffle, Phantom, and Backpack to safeguard secure transactions. When users engage with a new API for the first time, they will encounter a standard “connect to site” prompt, ensuring interactions are secure and verified.
As Solana gains popularity and aims for mainstream adoption, speculation about a potential Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF) grows. The introduction of features such as Solana Actions and Blinks could enhance the network’s visibility, potentially attracting increased investor interest.
