A Follow Along Guide for Shipping Blinks

Are you a developer who is new to Solana? Are you coming to the Bengaluru Hacker House? Do you want to earn while learning about the coolest new tech? Then this is for you.

For the first time, we have an opportunity exclusively for people who are new to Superteam Earn and are attempting their first bounty. Create a follow along guide, with code snippets, for developing Blinks that helps developers go from zero to production in a ...well, blink.

Today, Blinks allow anyone to interact with the Solana blockchain without leaving Twitter. So if you have a browser wallet installed, you can buy/sell/swap/vote or interact with a token-gated experience directly from the Twitter feed on desktop. This unlocks a new high frequency distribution channel for developers. More documentation about Blinks is available at the end of this bounty.

Evaluation Criteria

• Did you provide a brief background about Blinks?

• Did you include code snippets for creating a sample Blink?

• Did you use various examples to illustrate the different use cases possible with Blinks?

• Is your guide the one stop solution for anyone looking to ship their first Blink?

• Did you explain concepts in a way a developer who is new to Solana could understand?

Submission Requirements

• Did you write your essay in English?

• Did you include links to your sources under the title “References”? If you have used external sources and no references are included, your bounty could be rejected on grounds of plagiarism.

 Prizes

• 🥇 First Prize: $500 USDC + Member role in Superteam India

• 🥈 Second Prize: $150 USDC

• 🥉 Third Prize: $100 USDC

Winners will be felicitated live on stage at the Hacker House.
