Two weeks ago, Solana’s Blink went viral.
We once wrote in "Interpretation of Solana Blink: One-click operation on the chain is embedded into social media. Is socialization the end of the circle?" 》Introduced in detail:
Blink allows you to embed on-chain functions directly on
But at that time, Blink only demonstrated the ability of "what can I do", and "how to do it specifically" was left open to the community and developers to explore.
Therefore, it is even more necessary for us to pay attention to new projects that do things around Blink.
It’s so fast. Just a few days after Blink was released, an account named SEND (@thesendcoin) seemed to be fully prepared. With detailed, vivid and true descriptions, it directly demonstrated 50 things that can be done with Blink. + Application.

I haven't started researching yet. Have you made a decent application?
What’s more coincidental is that the official release date of Blink is the 25th; SEND’s official account began to hint on the 24th: “Solana has a big move this week, don’t blink, send it (don’t blink, launch)”
It’s almost written on my face that I knew about Blink for a long time.
Another point that people have to pay attention to is that the top post of Solana founder Toly is another 100 Blinks application posts proposed by the SEND team to promote the project; combined with SEND’s unpredictable posts, it is very It’s hard not to think of official support.

Do you think this is all about technology? There must be something noteworthy about Degen.
What you may not know is that SEND directly launched the function of Mint NFT through the X button a week ago, and NFT holders have the right to subsequent airdrops of $SEND tokens.
The introduction to the SEND project clearly states: $SEND will be a community token to support Solana’s Blink ecosystem.
Remember how Warpcast itself had no tokens, but it hatched social meme coins such as DEGEN?
Farcaster --- CAST function --- $DEGEN, does the same path happen with Blink function --- $SEND?
100,000 NFTs, FOMO wiped out
If SEND wants to support the Blink ecosystem, it has to make a prototype on its own, and it also creates a speculative FOMO.
On July 3, SEND posted directly on X and launched 100,000 Send It series NFTs. Combined with the function of Blink, you can click the Collect button directly on the X page for Mint.

With the "Allow ACTION on X" function of Phantom Wallet (supporting Blink's technical architecture), you can easily mint this NFT directly.
At the same time, SEND officially stipulates that every player holding NFT will have the opportunity to win a lottery of 6.9 $SOL bonus, and will also receive more airdrop rewards that have not yet been disclosed.
Considering that the SEND project also has its own “social currency $SEND”, this undisclosed airdrop is likely to point to the $SEND token itself.

The superimposition of several golden shovel elements naturally made FOMO emotions high, and send it NFT was quickly sold out; as of press time, the floor price of this series on Tensor is about 0.42 SOL.
Obviously SEND officials are also very good at doing things. After the NFT was mint, they posted a link with the Blink function, indicating that you can no longer mint it, but you can still trade it and buy the NFT directly with one click. Can.

At this time, Send it is more speculative, and the translated connotation may not be to send the NFT floor price to the sky.
With technology, applications, and the ability to play, the SEND around Blink is indeed reminiscent of the time when Warpcaster was popular, and meme coins such as $DEGEN appeared in the application.
Come from the community, go to the community
The SEND official website is currently very simple and does not reveal more details about the token or the organization information behind it.
But judging from the purpose of the project's creation and the applications displayed, it is more about serving the ecosystem that Blink can build in the future and the developers in it.
In the long post mentioning the 100+ Blinks applications at the beginning of the article, SEND has clearly written that it welcomes other developers to implement more similar applications and actively contacts them.

This is equivalent to saying that I have the ability to prototype, and I welcome more developers to build the Blink ecosystem.
Anyone who has been in the crypto community for a long time knows that it is difficult to stand out in the limited and disloyal attention with just your courage and excellent technology; no matter what you do, you should leave the imagination related to the token. space.
SEND clearly embodies this feature, that is, I am not only doing technology development and ecological support like Lei Feng, I also have my own token $SEND, so the token itself is actually rooted in the community.
Although the official has not announced the specific cooperation model, we can actually boldly imagine whether projects that cooperate with SEND to develop Blink applications will be rewarded with $SEND tokens?
And will users who use these applications be rewarded with $SEND tokens?
This is actually similar to the $DEGEN, $CAST, $MEME and other tokens born in Farcaster or Warpcaster, namely:
All tokens are the best reward for early construction and participation in the ecosystem.
It's just that meme coins such as $DEGEN have developed and grown in a user-driven form, and users can get it if they are active; and the SEND strategy seems to be working from both ends---building the development of Blink applications Anyone who uses Blink has the possibility to obtain $SEND tokens.
Come from the community, go to the community.
We don't hate the creation of a token out of thin air. What we hate is that we don't get any benefits from this generation.
Taking advantage of this mentality, the SEND model can certainly continue, and will generate network effects as more people use Blink and share their airdrop experiences.
However, there was Farcaster’s daily active user ATH before, and then there was TON ecological black and white dog that instantly attracted 1 million fans. It is difficult to predict who will be short-lived and who will have the last laugh.
But one thing we know.
Whoever pleases the community has mobility and attention.
