The Making of a Super App: Backpack Wallet integrates Dialect Blinks in App, Chrome Extension

Today, we’re excited to announce that Backpack has integrated Dialect blinks into their mobile wallet and Chrome extension, bringing many of the top onchain apps right to their users — no redirects, no extra steps, just native, one-click simplicity.

Blinks, or blockchain links, deliver product experiences everywhere. Today, that now includes natively in Backpack Mobile. Stake with Jito and Marinade, lend with Kamino and Lulo, collect on Magic Eden and Tensor, claim your onchain identity with AllDomains and SNS, and so much more. All right from within Backpack’s wallet.

The era of the crypto super app has arrived, and with the help of Dialect and blinks, Backpack is leading the way. This means faster, simpler, and more intuitive access to users favorite onchain actions, all without breaking the flow of their onchain journey. It’s not just a wallet — it’s a launchpad for seamless exploration and engagement.

Blinks Accelerate Onchain Experiences

The mobile wallet has become the epicenter of our onchain life. It’s a bank, a payments app, a portfolio tracker, a collectibles gallery, and increasingly, given restrictive app store policies and limited mobile web capabilities, it is our launchpad for discovering new experiences.

Today, new experiences are discovered through the wallets from “Explorer” tabs that showcase trending apps. While helpful, these tabs link you out to the app’s site in an embedded wallet browser, where friction, indecision and ultimately user drop-off are experienced.

Blinks transform this experience: instead of sending users out to sites, blinks teleport those sites’ experiences natively into the wallet, eliminating redirects.

For products and developers, this means fewer clicks and site hops, resulting in higher retention, less attrition and better conversion. And for users, it feels like magic.

From the new Blinks section in Backpack, users can discover, and use, a curated list of Solana’s top products — to earn, buy, collect, vote, and more — all with one-click simplicity, without ever leaving Backpack.

This is the holy grail of consumer UX. Blinks merge the call to action with the action itself: they are a call with action, without any app or site hops.

Over 500 blinks have been created since blinks were launched in June. Backpack and Dialect have curated 10 of the highest quality for today’s launch and will be growing this every week.

Blinks Accelerate Development

Blinks also dramatically reduce the time it takes for developers to integrate experiences from third party apps. Blinks bundle product functionality into a standard format, and make them accessible from URLs.

Any developer who wishes to integrate a blink into their product can do so by simply fetching it from its URL, and then unfurling it into a native experience in their product using Dialect’s Blinks SDK. All in just a few lines of code.

This transforms integration times from hours or days to just minutes.

In other words, Blinks prescribe a standard for protocol integration, and as a result, developers are no longer required to perform integrations one at a time, but instead can plug and play integrations using a modular, repeatable approach, a huge speedup in development time.

This speedup is great not just for getting to market. Blinks let you adapt to changing markets and user preferences with a fraction of the effort, as new products launch and gain traction.

As markets and interests shift, the Backpack team will be using blinks to bring new experiences directly into their mobile wallet in real time.

Unbundle Apps, Accelerate the Super App

Blinks unbundle product experiences from the apps and sites they are siloed in and make them usable everywhere. This is a profound change to the way products are built and used on the internet.

Since their inception, the Backpack team has had the ambition and creativity to redefine what a crypto wallet super app can be. With today’s launch, Backpack is using Dialect and blinks to push that standard forward.
