Solana’s New Features Enable On-Chain Transactions Across the Web

The Solana Foundation introduced Actions and Blinks.

These new features are designed to make on-chain transactions more accessible and straightforward for Internet users.

Solana New Features: Actions and Blinks

Solana Actions allows users to execute on-chain transactions directly from various platforms, including websites, social media, and physical QR codes. This integration means developers can seamlessly embed Solana’s blockchain capabilities into their applications.

Complementing this feature is Solana Blinks, which converts any Action into a shareable link. This allows any website capable of displaying a URL to facilitate Solana transactions. Ultimately transforming ordinary websites and social media platforms into accessible points for on-chain interactions.

“Actions and Blinks deliver on 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 so much more,” explains Chris Osborn, Founder of Dialect.

Meanwhile, Phantom Wallet , along with other applications, took to X to enthusiastically share the new features, which allow users to make transactions directly on the platform.

Solana has implemented a list of trusted domains from partners such as Jupiter, Helium, Truffle , Phantom, and Backpack to ensure secure transactions. When users interact with an unfamiliar API for the first time, they will encounter a standard “connect to site” prompt, ensuring that interactions are safe and verified.

Given Solana’s growing popularity and vision for mainstream adoption, speculation mounts on a potential Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF) . The introduction of new features like Solana Actions and Blinks may further help the network’s visibility, potentially attracting more investor interest.
