Blink suddenly appeared. Why do I think the next stage of encryption is in web2?
The hamster 🐹 game on Telegram has 200 million players in just 3 months, making history. This proves one thing to us: the model of earning while playing is not only in crypto, but is actually popular everywhere and can generate huge customer traffic.
🧑🔬----------------
But why is it that Telegram has 800 million daily active users and 200 million users who like to earn money while playing, while Binance has developed for 7 years to reach this scale? I think in the final analysis, there is still a natural barrier between web2 and web3. If you want to participate in the world of web3, you have to understand a series of blockchain knowledge. Everyone is already very tired after a day's work, and they just want to relax on the Internet. Complex on-chain operations are against human nature.
- I am very happy to see that in addition to the $TON ecosystem linking to telegeram,#Blinklaunched by Solana is also actively linking to Twitter. Although it is just a spark, who knows if it will set the whole field on fire…
1. What is Blink
To put it simply, blink is a small tool that can convert any on-chain operation into shareable links, which can be embedded in social media platforms such as Twitter.
In just five days since its launch on June 25, more than 50 applications have integrated the blink function, and even @solana official Twitter and sol founder @aeyakovenko are promoting it.
2. What are the good application scenarios of Blink?
> Currently, the best use case for this feature is for Googling. In the past, when you saw someone share a meme coin on Twitter, you had to go to a robot or wallet to complete the purchase. This takes time and is very troublesome for newcomers.
> If the post shared by the KOL contains a Blink link, you can complete the purchase in two steps on Twitter, which may take less than 10 seconds. The tool is very convenient and lazy.
-Some people in Web2 can sell goods through live broadcasts and short videos. When Blink can be deployed to more platforms and has more powerful functions, will it be possible to derive an industry that sells dogs through live broadcasts and tweets? If you explain the fundamentals of a dog well and give reasons for recommending it in the video comment area or tweets, someone may follow you and place an order from your link, and you can get a commission. If it is expanded a little, in addition to memes, mainstream coins may also be able to sell goods in this way, and a new industry may be born.
Here are some of the ways to play that some projects that support Blink offer:
- Buy meme tokens with one click using @JupiterExchange and @MeteoraAG
- Use @phantom to buy tokens with one click
-Use @tensor_hq to sweep the floor and buy NFT
-Ported into hSOL using @heliuslabs.
- Use @sanctumso to buy LST
-Subscribe to premium content using @AccessProtocol
-Donate to creators via @sphere_labs and @_cubik
-Vote for @Realms_DAOs and @helium
- Minting NFTs on @Truffle_HQ
- Use @TipLinkOfficial to tip on Twitter
3. How to post a blink link on Twitter
This is super simple, which is why it is excellent
1) Open your own phantom wallet
2) Click on experimental features in settings
3) Check Solana Actions on X.com
4) Go to jup.ag/swap and select the type of token you want to exchange (taking JUP as an example)
5) Copy the browser URL of this page
6) Then paste it into Twitter and post a tweet, and you will see a box where you can directly purchase tokens
7) Select or enter the quantity you want to buy and click the blue button to buy.
Note ⚠️: Only Blinks from registered partners will be expanded directly in X
4. Why I think the next stage of encryption is in web2
-Because any new thing needs a constant stream of audiences to develop. If no one is interested in Bitcoin#btc, then it will be no different from any other local dog. If everyone stops buying things on e-commerce platforms, then TB, JD and other platforms will not be able to operate.
-It is because of the existence of people that demand can be born, and then development can be stimulated. At present, encryption is like a small sapling. Only when more people water and fertilize it can it thrive.
So I think the most important thing for crypto at this stage is not better public chains or better DAPPs. It is how to connect to web2 and let web2 users participate in web3. Whoever connects to web2 will connect to the future. If the funds are always idle within the existing group, how can crypto develop?
- I think the most urgent issue to be solved at the moment is how to increase the crypto population. At present, many ideas, such as creating a new social media, are actually difficult to quickly increase the crypto population, because the fundamental reason why social media can attract people to join is that there are enough people using it, many of your friends, many of your customers, and the migration of interpersonal relationships is a very troublesome thing.
-So the best solution is to connect directly to Telegram like $TON. In a way that web2 users can accept, we should guide and cultivate the crypto population little by little on the web2 platform. Only the increase of the crypto population can fundamentally solve the liquidity problem. If 2 billion or 3 billion people in the world can participate in crypto, even without a large amount of money and ETF, I believe the total market value of crypto will be at the 10 trillion level.
From Shanghai to Guangzhou, you can drive, take a plane, or build your own car. There are many ways to get there. We will choose the method that is simpler and faster, and the same is true for how to increase the encrypted population.
So#Solanacan think of $blink, an innovative plug-in that is more user-friendly to web2, which is a great progress. Although it has many problems and defects that have not been solved, it is in the right direction. $ton and Solana ecosystem see where there is the most potential population for encryption, and are trying to play the role of guide.
These leaders, the times belong to them...
