Solana

Solana Foundation has introduced innovative tools, "Actions" and "blinks," which aim to simplify crypto transactions by allowing any website, app, or social media platform to initiate transactions on the Solana blockchain.

It seems Farcaster should have registered the trademark "Actions" earlier. 👀

Solana's launch of Blinks signals a trend. 

In the long run, Twitter poses a tough challenge for Farcaster. Also as a social layer, Twitter is the largest traffic pool, attracting numerous projects to build around it. 

In the application layer, there are "TwitterFi" projects like Fantasy and FriendTech, which are built on Twitter's social graph and enjoy more traffic and liquidity compared to similar products built on Farcaster's social graph. 

In the middleware layer, tools like Blinks bridge the application layer and the Twitter client, allowing direct interactions with wallets on Twitter, including DeFi, NFT, gaming, and SocialFi Dapps. Farcaster's Frame no longer seems fresh after Blinks' introduction.

How will Farcaster respond?
