Talking about Mass Adoption is still premature.

Author: Haotian

How do you view the recent hotly discussed @solanaActions and Blinks? Despite hearing a lot of voices about "innovative progress" and "catalyst for mass application," in my opinion, Blinks does not have much technological innovation, and it is premature to talk about Mass Adoption. Its appearance has actually strengthened the market impression of Solana as a new generation consumer-level application blockchain, which is a beneficial exploration. Next, let me share my thoughts:

1) From a technical perspective, Solana Actions and Blinks are a set of development tools that make it easier for developers to integrate applications.

Actions can be seen as a development adaptation standard, which is a backend framework that defines how users can trigger on-chain transactions through a unified URL interface in the App environment, including operations such as asset transfer, NFT interaction, voting, staking, and tipping.

Blinks can be considered as a frontend integration technology that allows a set of complex execution parameters containing transaction intent to be integrated into a URL and can connect with other web3 wallets, helping developers to quickly present Actions interaction methods in a visual process and experience for users.

Specifically: Actions will integrate the key information needed for users to trigger transactions (such as receiving addresses, transaction instructions, and other basic parameter metadata) into a standardized URL. Users can directly interact with the URL in other App environments, thereby triggering a process to construct, sign, and submit an on-chain transaction.

2) At first glance, this is just a common development tool and service that transforms URL links into signable transactions. This is similar to the previous zkSend on @SuiNetwork, which allows users to receive cryptocurrency like receiving emails, and the mini app on @ton_blockchain, which allows users to directly initiate interactive commands within the chat interface, all of which belong to a category of interaction experience optimization.

The focus is not on the technology itself, but on how many developers have launched applications based on this interaction method, how many users have accepted this interaction method, and so on, which can be classified as "interaction abstraction," aiming to improve the user onboarding threshold and experience in the blockchain environment.

However, ideals are beautiful, but reality poses many challenges. For example: embedding interactive links directly in Twitter for payment interaction can bring about a certain level of experience enhancement, but fundamental obstacles such as adaptation issues for mobile and desktop, user trust issues in clicking links, and potential security risks behind the links hinder the deep application of this interaction method in the short term.

Therefore, personally, I believe that what Blinks can bring to Solana is equivalent to how many platforms and users can accept application scenarios similar to Solana Pay, and there is still a lack of a "rigid" driving factor. Imagine, users use a Bot on Telegram to quickly participate in fundraising, but what would be the motivation for users to use Blinks? Voting, small games, tipping, etc., are obviously not strong driving scenarios.

3) Although it may not be worth overly promoting Blinks alone, combined with the recent claim of Solana's 2.0 upgrade, the exploration of the diversified client Firedancer, and the landing of the Pay application promoted by Solana in collaboration with Paypal, it can be seen that Solana's strategic positioning is somewhat converging with Ton, focusing more on empowering the large-scale landing applications of blockchain and the integration of web2 markets and web3 technology frameworks.

Firedancer, as a new client, aims to solve the unreliability (downtime) issue of the Solana blockchain. Using an innovative multi-process software and hardware allocation method, it aims to make Solana a new generation consumer-level blockchain with higher performance, better parallelism, and lower resource consumption.

In conclusion, whether the vision can be realized remains to be seen, but Solana, apart from being criticized as a "dog chain," always manages to deliver some progressive answers at some point in time. Today's Blinks, tomorrow's xxxx, the Solana ecosystem is always progressing, and this is the real signal that Blinks and others are conveying to the market.
