The Solana Foundation has launched 'Blinks' and 'Actions', innovative features designed to enhance user engagement and interaction within the Solana ecosystem. These features allow users to perform various blockchain activities directly on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) without needing to leave the site. Blinks enable users to buy NFTs, trade memecoins, and even stake tokens seamlessly. Early adopters include leading Solana DEX JupiterExchange, which now allows users to swap tokens directly on X. The launch has been described as a gamechanger for both users and developers, significantly pushing the user experience of blockchains forward. Solana's Head of Ecosystem Engineering, @jnwng, and other key figures in the ecosystem have emphasized the transformative potential of these features. The Helium community, among others, is expected to benefit from this streamlined user experience. Additionally, the launch incorporates ZK compression and Farcaster frames, further enhancing its capabilities. DriftProtocol will also allow users to long/short tokens directly on X. A $60M fund has been announced to support Solana app builders.

Great intro to Solana Actions and blinks by @adlonymous 💻 https://t.co/RZMCrP31eU
Blinks on Solana is a perfect example of a web3 primitive that web2 could never really power Bullish on the functionality + composability that it enables, while being powered completely on-chain
Solana Blink just saved NFTs

Solana just announced Blinks Solana Summer is so back!
Solana blink looks really interesting. It seems to be the case that the broader Ethereum community is very good at making novel protocols, but not products. Solana is significantly better at products that users want. Probably should take Solana more seriously if there's any…
👀 🎈@Solana Actions – Exciting News for the Helium Community! A new way for the Helium community to interact with Helium Governance. Developed by the builders of @saydialect, the introduction of Actions and Blinks makes it easy for the Helium Network to participate in… https://t.co/JpbHYtvH23

JUST IN: Solana co-founder @rajgokal tweeted, "Devs, if you’re focused on growth, start experimenting with this tech ASAP. Users, get ready to see your feed transformed!" following Solana's launch of "Blinks and Actions" technology. https://t.co/Q1f1oqWhm6
Blinks are probably the most "web3" web3 product so far. https://t.co/ZCWk65SX65
1/ Sanctum is super excited to be a launch partner with @saydialect for this groundbreaking initiative. Want to stake your SOL to one of Sanctum's LSTs? With Blinks, you can do that without even leaving your 𝕏 feed. It's time to Blink! https://t.co/Qrwdtr0ozg https://t.co/KeUg8r9TGP

Solana Foundation Head of Ecosystem Engineering @jnwng on Solana Actions and blinks https://t.co/0dTdPHbf56
Solana keeps pushing the UX of blockchains forward because the Solana ecosystem has a maniacal focus on the user. https://t.co/8I4BylbnRn
Solana Actions and Blinks speak for themselves – go turn them on in @Backpack and @phantom and play around. What I will add to today's launch: In my view these are exactly the type of "zag while others zig" bets that are happening on Solana 🔥 https://t.co/YpP4EupqXF
To turn on Blinks/Actions in: @Backpack: Toggle to your Solana preferences and select 'Allow Solana Actions on X' @phantom: Toggle to Settings -> Experimental Features -> Solana Actions on X
Blinks are here! 🥳👀 When @jnwng introduced me to blinks, I could instantly tell they will be an absolute gamechanger not just for users, but also for how devs interact and compose with other programs in the frontend. Check out this clip from Summit expanding on this: https://t.co/gqPfVapN9n https://t.co/LJdStmupOj
