How Wink Works?

PreviousIntroductionNextWink (Blink Template)

Last updated 5 months ago

Wink operates as an incentive layer on the Solana network, facilitating seamless transactions through blinks. Here’s the flow of how it works:

  1. Creators:

Creators design Winks (blink templates). These templates are the foundation for specific Solana transactions (e.g., staking, token swaps). Winks enables users to create a Blink that works like a mini-dApp.

All winks are available at the Wink marketplace. Check Wink section for more info.

  1. Users:

Users can select a Wink and generate a Blink from it. A Blink is a customized, shareable link that facilitates a specific blockchain action or transaction.

Check Blink section for more info.

  1. Consumers:

Consumers interact with Blink where it is shared. Blink will unfurl into a dApp performing actions such as staking SOL and swapping tokens, or if unfurled stays as a hyperlink that directs you to Winkit.app where consumers can interact with the Blink.

See the View section for more info

When a transaction is executed through a Blink, it triggers an action on the Solana blockchain and ask for the customer's signature at the Solana Wallet to execute the transaction.

Incentive Structure

Wink functions as a transaction facilitator on the Solana network through blinks. Every time a consumer completes a transaction via a Blink:

  • The Wink Creator (who made the template) earns a commission.

  • The User (who created the Blink from the Wink) also earns a commission.

Both the Wink creator and the user benefit from every transaction completed through their creation, creating an incentivized ecosystem for innovation and participation on the Solana blockchain.
