In this episode, Austin chats with Jon Wong (Solana Foundation) and Chris Osborn (Dialect) about the development of and use cases for Blinks and Solana Actions. Blinks, short for "blockchain links," allow users to take direct "Actions" on the Solana blockchain such as swapping tokens, donating, or voting on governance directly from a link on platforms like X. This technology integrates with Chrome extension wallets like Phantom and Backpack, rendering these interactions seamlessly in the browser. The conversation highlights the rapid adoption and excitement within the developer community around these new features, the security model ensuring safe transactions, and the future potential for mobile integration and expanding Blinks’ functionality across other web platforms.
