What are Solana Blinks?
Learn about Solana Blinks and how they revolutionize blockchain interactions
Introduction
Solana Blinks (Blockchain Links) are a revolutionary way to interact with the Solana blockchain. They are shareable, interactive links that enable users to perform blockchain transactions directly from any platform that supports URL previews - without leaving the app or website they're currently using.
Think of Blinks as "smart links" that embed blockchain functionality directly into social media posts, messages, websites, and more. Instead of requiring users to navigate to external websites, connect wallets, and complete complex multi-step processes, Blinks make blockchain interactions as simple as clicking a button.
