Solana Foundation Launches Tools to Simplify Blockchain Transactions
The Solana Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on Solana The SOL/USD network on Tuesday unveiled two new developer tools aimed at simplifying blockchain transactions and expanding adoption.
Solana’s actions AND blockchain links (blinks) are designed to integrate blockchain functionality into everyday digital experiences.
Solana Actions allows users to perform on-chain transactions across various platforms, including websites, social media, and even via physical QR codes.
This feature allows developers to embed a wide range of Solana ecosystem features directly into their applications.
By complementing actions, Solana flashes turn any action into a shareable link.
This innovation allows any website capable of displaying a URL to initiate a Solana transaction, effectively transforming websites and social media platforms into portals for on-chain interactions without redirecting users.
In a press release shared with Benzinga, Jon Wonghead of ecosystem engineering at the Solana Foundation, highlighted the importance of these tools in broadening the accessibility of blockchain.
“The actions and flashes on Solana allow any website and application on the Internet to be a distribution point for on-chain interactions,” Wong said, highlighting the potential for mainstream adoption.

These tools aim to address a long-standing challenge in the blockchain space: the isolation of blockchain protocols into specialized decentralized applications (dApps) and wallet-aware tools.
By making blockchain interactions possible through familiar digital interfaces, Solana is working to lower the barriers to entry for new users.
Chris OsbornFounder of Dialect, a company involved in the Solana ecosystem, noted the versatility of these new tools.
“From your X feed you can buy an NFT, tip a creator, receive money, vote, bet, trade and much more,” Osborn explained, noting the potential for different applications.
The Solana Foundation’s new tools are immediately available for companies to integrate into their offerings.
Detailed documentation and support is provided to help developers take advantage of these features.
This development comes as the blockchain and digital asset sectors continue to evolve rapidly.
Stakeholders and enthusiasts are expected to delve deeper into such progress at Benzinga The future of digital assets event on November 19, where discussions on blockchain adoption and innovation will take center stage.
