The Solana Foundation is making headlines with its latest announcement: the introduction of innovative features aimed at rejuvenating the cryptocurrency community’s presence on social media platforms like Twitter.
These features, Actions, and Blinks, will change the way users engage with crypto, allowing for direct on-chain transactions from their preferred websites and social networks.
Crypto Twitter, a term synonymous with the vibrant and dynamic discussions that once dominated the platform, has seen a decline in organic reach and engagement which has been attributed to the centralization of social media control and a series of algorithm changes, particularly since Elon Musk’s takeover.
The platform, now referred to as X, has undergone significant transformations due to policy updates, moderation practices, and algorithmic shifts. Despite these hurdles, the cryptocurrency community on X remains resilient, with influencers and enthusiasts continuing to disseminate valuable insights.
The Solana Foundation’s initiative introduces Actions, which facilitate seamless transactions across various platforms, and Blinks, a clever usage of the words ‘blockchain’ and ‘link’, which facilitate the sharing of these transactions.
This integration promises to infuse blockchain functionality into the everyday digital interactions of users on X, enhancing the application of Solana’s capabilities.
Jon Wong, the head of ecosystem engineering at the Solana Foundation, shared his excitement about the project: “With Actions and Blinks, Solana is turning every website and application into a potential hub for on-chain interactions, pushing us closer to our goal of widespread adoption.”
The excitement is reflected in the social media updates by different collaborators, such as Cubik, Sanctum, Tensor, Realms, Access, Jupiter, and Helius. Helium, Truffle, Phantom, Backpack, and the Solana-based alert app developer Dialect.
On a larger scale, the introduction of these features could signify a pivotal moment for Crypto Twitter. It has the potential to restore the platform’s original vibrancy and its former community engagement, attracting new users and developers, and possibly sparking cryptocurrency’s prominence on Twitter.
