Blinks now available for building 50+ creative use cases:
1/ Prediction Markets
Voting functionality is already available on X. Combined with cryptocurrency, you can now put your money where your mouth is — bet on sports, predict event outcomes, or vote on future proposals right in your X feed.
2/ Operate Multisig Wallets in Private Messages with Blinks
Co-manage a multisig wallet with friends or co-founders? Just send them a Blink link, and they can sign in a private message chat.
@SquadsProtocol’s user experience is smooth.
3/ Airdrop Checker ft. @ZheSolworks
We could check airdrop eligibility for NFTs and tokens through message signatures — charging users a small fee (around $0.1) to easily generate revenue.
4/ Mini Games @chompdotgames @blessed_burgers
Create interactive mini on-chain games and quizzes with Blinks, capturing user inputs directly from their feed. Additionally, check player eligibility by viewing NFTs in their wallet.
5/ NFT Minting and Bidding ft. @solanapoet
Build a no-code tool that allows anyone to create, mint, bid, and purchase NFTs directly from their X feed using Blinks. Create freely without hassle.
6/ Crypto Paid Messages ft. @aeyakovenko
Paid messages are a huge revenue source for creators. We could build an interface tool that generates Blinks to allow others to send paid messages to users. Users can send messages from their feed, and creators can view/reply on a dashboard.
7/ Host Gated Events ft. @helium
Community events often require certain qualifications — holding a specific NFT, submitting proof of registration, etc. By connecting their wallet to an Action post on X, users can register and check eligibility using Blinks.
8/ Token-Gated Content Market ft. @dReaderApp @RadiantsDAO
The market for exclusive content is huge if the exclusive community is large. With Blinks, creators can control their content (comics, videos, blogs, etc.) via NFTs or payments, accessible only to a few. Huge market, simple product, great potential!
9/ Trade Directly in Private Messages @tensor_hq
Every messaging interface can now carry Blink smart messages. We can build a no-code tool enabling users to send, buy, and trade meme tokens, NFTs, etc., directly via chat. Bonkbot’s success further validates this!
10/ Request Payments and Settle in Private Messages ft. @PayPal @circle
Using Blinks, payments can be sent, requested, and settled. A group chat with friends can now act as an on-chain Splitwise — send or request USDC, and settle transactions right in the chat interface.
11/ Get Rid of Useless NFT and Token Accounts ft. @solincinerator @EasyEatsBodega
Blinks enable us to burn unwanted NFTs and spam tokens directly from wallets, letting users easily clean up their wallets. Imagine earning money by destroying useless tokens just through the Twitter/X feed.
12/ Create Meme-Centric Tools @bonk_inu
Blinks allow the broader memecoin community to have fun on Twitter, creating mini-games and tools to interact with the meme community directly on Twitter.
13/ Validator ft. @OverclockSol Native Staking
If you run a validator, attracting liquidity and native staking is now easier — just create a Blink.
14/ Buy Time on Twitter @timedotfun
Imagine buying time from your favorite crypto Twitter KOL directly from Twitter/X itself.
15/ Platform Actions
To foster more interaction between crypto-native platforms and users, any action they want can be posted directly on users’ X feed. For example:
→ Charge fees on @FlashTrade_
→ Support or oppose proposals on-chain @MetaDAOProject
→ Go long or short using @DriftProtocol
16/ GitHub Sponsorships and Tips
Blinks allow people to tip or sponsor their favorite developers directly within GitHub. @buymeacoffee will be embedded into the application interface — who’s building it?
17/ README Files with Blink
Imagine developers monetizing their open-source work directly.
18/ New Ideas for Wallet Interactions
“Actions” in NFTs
@phantom previewed interactive NFTs — Quick Actions. We can create Actions in NFTs with a single txn signature to enhance usability.
19/ Blink NFT
Similarly, Blinks enable simple crypto operations directly within wallets using NFTs. Send, buy, bid, and trade NFTs directly from the wallet interface.
20/ YouTube with Blinks Will Unleash Super Potential!
Two possible use cases ⬇️
Crypto Super Chats: Enable audiences of YouTube creators to send crypto Super Chats during live streams, providing economic incentives to creators.
Rewards: Allow creators/audience to use @TipLinkOfficial to create wallets with their YouTube email ID for tipping.
21/ Use Blinks in Telegram Private Messages
Anything that can be done in X private messages can be done in Telegram private messages. Send, receive, trade, mint NFTs, tokens, etc., directly from TG’s app interface. User experience smoother than ever.
22/ Apple Meets Crypto Through Blinks
App Clip and NFC can both integrate Blinks.

23/
In the future, Blinks can turn any application into a Solana application:
→ Bet directly from a live-streaming app
→ @bountycaster on Twitter
→ Social commerce: Buy items directly from TikTok or Instagram Story
24/
Blinks enhance the developer experience tenfold, as people can use APIs directly instead of SDKs, enabling:
→ Easier creation of super apps
→ Embedding in any website
Blinks have more use cases; readers are welcome to explore on their own
