Solana's recently released Blinks feature will revolutionize the Internet.
Here are 50+ ideas you can use Blinks to implement right away:
1. Prediction Market
Such as HedgeHog, polls have appeared on Twitter. With cryptocurrency, you can spend your money wisely - betting on sports events, predicting event results, or voting for prediction proposals. Directly through your X information flow.
2. Multi-signature Blink in DM
Do you have multi-signatures with friends or co-founders and need them to approve a transaction? Just send them a Blink and let them sign directly in the chat.
User experience like Squads Protocol (Note: Squads is developing Blink).
3. Airdrop Checker
Like ZheSolworks, airdrop qualification checks are performed on NFTs and tokens through message signatures - you can charge users a small fee (about $0.1) to facilitate you and easily generate income.
4. Mini Games
Such as Chomp, Blessed Burgers, make interactive on-chain mini games and quizzes, and get input directly from the user's information flow.
In addition, check whether the player is eligible to play the game by checking the NFT in the player's wallet.
5. NFT Minting and Bidding
Like Degen poet, build a code-free tool that allows anyone to use Blinks to create, mint, bid, and buy NFTs directly from their X feed. A tool that can be built without any brains.
6. Crypto Superchats
Superchat is a huge source of income for creators, such as Blink, developed by Solana Labs co-founder aeyakovenko.
Build a tool with an interface through which users can generate Blinks and let others send them paid messages. Users send messages from their dynamics, and creators can view/reply from a dashboard.
7. Token-gated activities
Like Helium, community activities usually have some entry requirements - NFT, proof of registration, etc. By having users connect their wallets to activity posts on X, Blinks can be used to register and check qualifications.
8. Token-gated content
Like dReader and Radiants, if closed communities are huge, then closed content is even bigger.
With Blinks, you can let creators use NFTs, payments, etc. to enclose their content (comics, videos, blogs, etc.). Huge market, simple products, come on!
9. Trade in DM
Like Tensor, now every messaging interface can send smart messages through Blinks.
Build a no-code tool that enables users to send, buy and trade memecoin, NFT, etc. directly from the chat. The success of Bonkbot further confirms this!
10. Payment request and settlement in DM
Send, request and settle payments like PayPal and Circle. On-chain Splitwise can just be a group chat with your friends - send or request USDC in the chat, and settle transactions within the chat interface.
11. Get rid of NFT spam and useless token accounts
Such as Sol-incinerator, @EasyEatsBodega, by destroying unwanted NFT spam and tokens directly from the wallet, let users easily clean up their wallets. Imagine making money just by destroying from Twitter/X messages.
12. Create tools around Memecoins
Like BONK!!!, let the wider memecoin community have fun on Twitter, and create small games and tools to interact with your memecoin community directly on Twitter.
13. Validator Staking
Like Over Clock native staking, if you run a validator, it is now easier to attract liquid staking and native staking. Just create a Blink.
14. Time.fun on Twitter
Imagine buying the time of your favorite CT KOL directly from Twitter/X.
15. Platform Action
In order to make the crypto-native platform more interactive with users, you can publish any Action directly on the X feed for them to execute.
For example: collecting fees from Flash.Trade, liking/disliking MetaDAO project proposals on-chain, going long/short with Drift Protocol
16. GitHub Sponsorship and Tipping
Make a Blink button that allows people to tip or sponsor their favorite developers directly in GitHub.
Buy me a Coffee is now embedded in the API - who is developing it?
17. README using Blinks
Imagine developers monetizing their open source work directly.
18. Wallet interaction creativity
Actions in NFT, Phantom shows us how to interact with NFT - shortcuts, it's time for everyone to achieve permissionless. Create a single transaction signature operation in NFT and enhance its practicality.
19. Blink NFT
Similarly, Blinks also allows easy cryptographic operations with NFTs directly within the wallet. Send, buy, bid, and trade NFTs directly from the wallet interface.
20. With Blinks, YouTube will become a super power
The encrypted super chat function allows viewers of YouTube creators to send encrypted super chats during live broadcasts and reward creators.
Bonus: Let creators/viewers create wallets with their YouTube email IDs via Tip Link
21. Blink + DMs are a natural match for Telegram
Anything that can be done in X DM should be done in Telegram DM. Send, receive, trade, mint NFTs, tokens, etc. directly from the TG application interface. The user experience is smoother than ever.
22. Apple meets cryptocurrency through Blinks
App Clips (Apple applet) and NFC
23. In the future, Blinks can make any application a Solana application
Such as: betting directly from live broadcast applications, Bountycaster on Twitter, social commerce-buy directly from TikTok or Insta story.
Blinks' developer experience is 10 times better because there is no need to use SDK, but can directly use API, making it easier to create super applications, embed any website, etc.
