Solana's Social Media Battle Begins: Will Blinks Drive Mass Adoption?

On June 25th, Solana released a new protocol called Blinks (Blockchain Links), which quickly gained support from over ten top protocols in the Solana ecosystem, including Tensor, Phantom, and Jupiter.　　Solana introduced Blinks as a way to connect Solana with the Web2 internet. Essentially, Blinks can generate links for any on-chain operation, allowing project teams or users to create their own Blinks and share them on social media. These links create interactive card-style interfaces that users can directly interact with using their wallets.　　Solanas founder, Toly, stated that Blinks can turn Web2 into Solanas L2 while ensuring economic security. This indicates Solanas strategy to leverage the massive traffic of social media platforms to shorten the path for Web2 users to enter Web3, promoting the transition of Web2 users to Web3. Implementation Path　　As mentioned, Blinks convert on-chain operations into links using a core technology stack called Actions. Actions is a protocol that creates and delivers Solana transactions via URLs, allowing Solana to be shared anywhere. Blinks is a client that detects Actions URLs and expands them into a full experience.　　The technology behind Actions and Blinks was developed in collaboration with Dialect. The team has already integrated Actions and Blinks directly into Twitter and

These Two Events Draw Attention in the Airdrop Industry

ZKsync Opens Airdrop Claims and Lists on Binance　　Last week, ZKsync opened airdrop claims and was listed on Binance. ZKsync is seen as a competitor to Arbitrum and Optimism, thus its valuation and airdrop conditions are often compared to these projects. Previously, ZKsyncs airdrop rules caused considerable FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) due to several contentious factors:　　Airdrop conditions were unusual, resulting in far fewer eligible addresses than anticipated.　　Several suspicious addresses were identified, with no direct response from the official team.　　Some addresses flagged by LayerZero as “sybil” addresses still received the airdrop.　　The presence of numerous “rat holes” (addresses suspected of gaming the system) and perceived unfair airdrop rules led to ZKsyncs governance token $ZK having a relatively average price performance on Binance compared to competitor projects.LayerZero Requires a $0.1 Donation per Token Claim　　In early May, LayerZero announced an airdrop snapshot and subsequent sybil address cleansing. For nearly two months, LayerZero remained in the spotlight, facing scrutiny, controversy, and disputes. Just as the community thought they could finally claim their airdrop, LayerZero introduced a new claim mechanism requiring users to donate $0.1 per ZRO token. This move was mocked by the community as a disguised IDO (Initial DEX Offering) rather than a genuine
