Solana just released Blinks, which means you can now buy an NFT directly from Tensor Labs on X 🤯 With just a Backpack or Phantom wallet, Tensor collection URLs posted on X automatically display a button to a buy a floor NFT. Blinks meet users where they are, and are the trojan horse for web3 mass adoption. Relentless focus on product and user experience is the lifeblood of Solana.

Blinks! This new innovation from Solana Foundation is truly incredible and can make a huge impact on how people can engage with Web3 and crypto in a simple, seamless way. Really excited to see how this develops over the next few months.

Crypto has now changed the internet, forever. Solana has now created Blinks, and this means that anyone, can make crypto interactions on any web interface. Including on LinkedIn! Hello seamless onboarding, hello mass adoption. Want to know more about the future of crypto? Don't want to miss historic turning points? Follow me, Solana and Zeta. What do you think? Comment below.

Blinks (Blockchain Links) allow any web2 app to interact with the Solana blockchain. We can build consumer-focused experiences where users feel the power of web3 where they are. Excited to build for the masses, you'll see mini-games, mint to earn, and more from us! Check out this explainer on Blinks:

Heard about Blinks yet? If not, let me catch you up! 👀 I've been saying a for a while now (on my Substack and here on LinkedIn) that crypto will NOT achieve mainstream adoption unless the user experience (UI/UX) becomes seamless and frictionless. That means fast and cheap transactions, of course - which is now a reality on many of the newer chains, both Layer-1s and Layer-2s - but it also means a serious dose of 'account abstraction'. Account abstraction simplifies blockchain transactions, making them more intuitive for users. It removes the complexities associated with wallets and blockchains, paving the way for the seamless integration of web3 into our everyday lives. In a nutshell: we don't need to bring people to crypto, which is what we've all been trying to do for the last few years — we need to bring crypto to the people. To meet users where they are, on their own terms — in a language they already understand, and to abstract away all the messy stuff involving complex transactions, long error-prone alphanumeric strings, and basically all that batshit crazy machine code stuff. Despite what some of the purists may tell you, this is the only way! I wasn't sure if this inevitable progression towards meaningful account abstraction would happen this cycle or next... but now I needn't wonder any longer — because Solana has just stolen a march on the entire industry by launching (seemingly out of nowhere) Blockchain Links, or Blinks. With Solana Actions (which I assume is equivalent to the underlying SDK) and Blinks, Solana has effectively delivered a working system to turn any crypto transaction on Solana into a blockchain link that can be shared anywhere on the internet — no third party application (or dApp) required. "Request a payment in a text message. Vote on governance in a chatroom. Buy an NFT on social media. It’s all possible..." This represents a significant turning point in crypto's journey towards mainstream adoption — definitely one of the biggest stories this year. 🚀🚀🚀 #solana #crypto #web3 Solana Foundation Solana Labs
