Blinks

Traditional onchain transactions have been locked away in apps or complex interfaces, making it significantly harder for people to use crypto products. With Blinks or blockchain links, transactions can open up to anywhere on the internet — using Iframes.

Problem Statement

Bridging the Web3 Experience GapThe Challenge: Current Web3 applications suffer from a fundamental UX problem. Users face complicated interfaces, confusing workflows, and the constant need to switch between multiple platforms. This creates a significant barrier between mainstream users and the innovative potential of blockchain technology. Both creators and their audiences are missing out, simply because the tools are too complex to use.Our Solution: We're transforming how people interact with Web3 by bringing it directly to where they already are. Instead of forcing users to learn new platforms, we integrate crypto capabilities seamlessly into their existing digital spaces.Why It Matters: Social media represents the next frontier for Web3 adoption. By embedding blockchain functionality directly into these familiar platforms, we're eliminating the traditional barriers to entry. Users don't need to understand the complex blockchain processes happening behind the scenes - they can simply interact with Web3 features as naturally as they would like, share, or retweet.Beyond Single-Chain Limitations: While previous attempts at blockchain integration (like Solana's Blinks) showed promise, they were restricted to single-chain ecosystems. We've built a solution that transcends these limitations, supporting all major blockchains. This multi-chain approach creates a truly decentralized experience, allowing users to interact with any blockchain they choose, directly from their favorite platforms.Our Vision: We're not just making Web3 more accessible - we're making it invisible. By integrating blockchain functionality into everyday digital experiences, we're paving the way for mainstream adoption without the traditional friction points. This isn't just about improving user experience - it's about unleashing the full potential of decentralized technology for everyone.

Solution

Blinks is a system that connects blockchain networks with users through a specialized iFrames infrastructure. The architecture consists of key components:Core Layer:Blockchain Network: The foundation layer handling all blockchain transactionsiFrames System: A complex middleware featuring Twitter Cards integration, rendering, caching, and state managementPlugin: Connects and extends the system's functionalityUser Interaction:Wallet: Manages user authentication and blockchain interactionsTwo main activities:Create Activity: Initiates new blockchain interactionsDo Activity: Executes existing activitiesSecurity & Verification:Github Public Registry: Maintains system integrityAuthentication and validation layersVerification process for all activitiesThe system is designed to provide a secure, efficient interface between users and blockchain operations, with emphasis on activity creation and execution through the BLINKS interface.
