OKX Wallet Introduces Multi-Chain Blinks

Crypto exchange OKX’s wallet is incorporating a technology developed on Solana — blockchain links, or “Blinks” — to all Ethereum-compatible chains. The company claims it is the first multi-chain wallet to achieve this.

Blinks, a recent innovation by the Solana Foundation in partnership with Dialect, create shareable URLs that can execute on-chain transactions. For instance, users can interact with a smart contract directly on social platform X to purchase an NFT without leaving the site.

OKX’s new product will feature specific OKX Wallet URLs that can be shared and interacted with online. The company collaborated with Dialect to integrate Blinks into its wallet technology stack, boasting that these transactions come with “zero fees.”

“With the addition of multi-chain Blinks, users can now perform even more on-chain actions directly embedded in their usual sites and platforms,” said OKX Chief Innovation Officer Jason Lau in a press release. “We are also collaborating with partners across both the Solana and EVM ecosystems to ensure their applications are supported.”

Farcaster, an Ethereum-based decentralized social media platform, developed a similar technology to Blinks called “Frames” back in January, allowing users to embed self-executing blockchain code into social media posts.

Founded in 2017, OKX is among the largest and most active crypto exchanges globally, and its wallet is integrated with around 100 blockchains, including the recently added TON blockchain.
