Integration of Solana Blinks into OKX Wallet
OKX recently announced the integration of Solana Blinks into their wallet, establishing connectivity with all Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-based blockchains. This update enables users to execute blockchain transactions like token staking and swapping on social media platforms such as X and Discord without incurring any costs.
Enhancing User Experience with Blinks Sharing
With the new feature, OKX Wallet users can effortlessly share specific links, known as Blinks, on social media. This functionality simplifies blockchain transactions for others while they browse through social feeds. Moreover, the integration allows for direct purchases of Non-fungible tokens (NFT) from social media posts. Jason Lau, OKX Chief Innovation Officer, emphasized,
“This extension to multi-chain Blinks enables seamless utilization of blockchain technology.”
Seamless Communication with DApps via Dialect
The partnership between OKX, Solana Foundation, and Dialect has led to the creation of flashing, which ensures smooth communication with decentralized applications (DApps). This integration eliminates the common hurdles associated with block congestion, offering a hassle-free experience. By collaborating with Dialect, OKX also paves the way for decentralized finance (DeFi) by removing transaction fees. Speaking on this partnership, Liu stated,
“Our goal is to enhance the usability of DApps through social media platforms.”
Expansion of OKX Wallet with 100 New Protocols
Continuing its growth trajectory, OKX Wallet has added 100 new protocols, including East Coin (TON). The company is set to further develop the Blinks feature in collaboration with partners, with detailed plans yet to be unveiled. In addition, OKX recently launched a subdomain tailored for users in the European Economic Area (EEA) to ensure compliance with legal standards.
Furthermore, OKX has established Malta as its exchange base to align with the EU crypto-asset market regulations (Mika). This strategic move targets the vast pool of over 450 million potential customers in the European Union. Liu underscored the platform’s commitment to providing a secure and regulated cryptocurrency trading environment for European users.
