the product implications of token extensions on

transfer hooks are powerful enough to create permissioned tokens on the permissionless

common product issues i've seen with blinks:
- make sure it works in the empty case! there's a `disabled` field if there's no action to take
- transaction failing hard if ATA doesn't exist
- blink URL not falling back to a websiteโyou need this on mobile

Solana blinks turn any Action into a shareable link, allowing any website that can display a URL to be the start of a Solana transaction. as a result, blinks transform websites or social media platforms into a surface for onchain transactions, without taking users elsewhere โ

little known fact- i kicked off my
@Solana
career working with
@rawfalafel
and the
@orca_so
team. you'll learn a lot from these Solana OGs
if you like helping other developers build cool things, this one is a whale of an opportunity!
Do you love helping out other developers? Do you want to contribute to Orca's SDK's? Do you dream about well-written technical documentation?
Turn those dreams into reality by joining us as a Developer Advocate! ๐ณ๐ป
