Access protocol leverages Solana actions and blinks for a simplified user experience
Solana Laboratoriesthe company behind the Solana blockchain, has teamed up with communications startup Dialect to present a new product called Actions and Blinks.
According to a press release dated June 25, Access protocolalongside other notable blockchain projects like Jupiter, Backpack, Tensor and Sphere Labs, will integrate Solana Actions and Blinks into their operations.
How Access Protocol will use actions and blinks
Solana Actions are application programming interfaces (APIs) facilitating signable transactions for specified programs, while Blinks leverages these APIs to create user-friendly interfaces.
A spokesperson explained:
“Protocols map transaction links to a specific Solana action. Blinks are the technology that deploys links in an easy-to-use interface via browser extensions.
This technology allows a shareable link to present an interface for a Solana transaction, allowing users to perform crypto transactions through any website or application. For example, a link on social media platform X or a publishing site would allow users to complete a crypto transaction without leaving the web page.
Access Protocol will use Actions and Blinks to enable one-click purchase of staked ACS subscriptions for major crypto media platforms such as CryptoSlate and The Block, using Solana’s native token, SOL. SOL is the fifth largest digital asset by market capitalization, trading at $137 at press time.
Next week, Access Protocol plans to add 20 more creators to its platform to eventually reach 160 creators.
Andreas Nicolos, CEO of Access Labs, hailed the APIs as revolutionary for the Access Protocol and the broader crypto industry. He stated:
“Solana Actions simplify the user onboarding experience while Blinks expand the total engagement surface. The impact of these two products combined cannot be overstated.
Access Protocol aims to revolutionize the monetization of digital content with a blockchain-based subscription model. By offering ACS subscriptions in SOL tokens, the platform will further expand the adoption of its subscription model within the crypto community.
