Solana Foundation is introducing a new feature that promises to link its blockchain network to any website via a shareable link. According to the announcement on June 25, the foundation has launched Solana Actions and blockchain links, allowing any website that can display a URL to perform a Solana transaction. This development will enable a shareable link to display an interface for a Solana transaction.
Noteworthy Step by the Solana Team
In other words, imagine sharing a link on X that allows users to perform a crypto transaction without leaving X’s webpage. The new feature can be used for crowdfunding, online purchases, and on-chain voting. Dialect’s founder Chris Osborn shared the following statements on the matter:
“From your X feed, you can buy an NFT, tip a creator, receive money, vote, stake, swap, and much more.”
A spokesperson from Solana Foundation stated that Dialect is behind the developer tools powering Actions, such as fork processes, self-hosted transition signing sites, and software development kits.
Websites, social media platforms, and physical QR codes can be used to share in the blink of an eye. Jon Wong, head of ecosystem engineering at Solana Foundation, explained that actions on Solana allow any website or application to be a distribution point for on-chain interactions.
Details on the Matter
Solana Foundation‘s security roadmap for the new feature will offer users the option to enable wallet support for actions. A spokesperson made the following statements on the matter:
“Actions are similar to connecting your wallet to DApps; trust the sites you know and use, just as you trust the DApps you know and use.”
Essentially, when a wallet tries to receive a transaction from an unfamiliar application programming interface or API for the first time, users should see a prompt to connect to a standard site. The launch is being conducted by major platforms in Solana’s ecosystem, such as Jupiter, Helium, Truffle, Phantom, and Backpack, to enhance security.
