Solana Actions and Blinks

on YouTube ↗17m

" summary

Solana blinks turn normal https links into interactive, transaction-capable previews by mapping site URLs to REST endpoints via an actions.json mapping, an action URI scheme, or an interstitial site dial.to. Developers build a simple actions API with the actions SDK that returns metadata and a serialized base64 transaction (or messages), wallets like Phantom/ Solflare/Backpack perform domain checks and simulation, and the system works on mainnet, devnet and localnet with existing examples (Jupiter swap) already live.
