🌊 SolWink: The Ultimate Solana Blink Generator

SolWink is a lightning-fast, interactive CLI that scaffolds production-ready Solana Actions & Blinks in seconds.

🌟 The Problem

Building a Solana Action was a manual, error-prone process that often led to hours of debugging Blank Link unfurls. The CORS Trap as Blinks are cross-origin by nature and the Next.js Bloat: Most tutorials force you into a heavy Next.js App Router setup just to serve a simple JSON response. This leads to slow cold starts and unnecessary complexity for a backend-only task.

💡The Solution

SolWink automates the boring stuff so you can focus on the blockchain logic. It provides a pre-validated architecture that has passed the Dialect/Solana validator tests, ensuring your Blink "just works" the moment it hits X (Twitter). Also it is the most pivotal project for Web2 Devs who want to become Web3 developers without going deep into Solana Action and Blinks.

⚡ Quick Start

You don't need to install anything globally. Scaffold your first Blink instantly using npx or traditional npm:

npx create-solwink@latest
# or
npx solwink@latest
#or
npm i solwink-cli

✨ Why SolWink?

Building Solana Blinks should be fun, not frustrating. SolWink focuses on Developer Velocity:

Zero-Config Express Backend: We ditched the heavy frontend frameworks. SolWink generates pure, lightweight Express servers designed exclusively for API route handling.

Bulletproof CORS & Headers: Pre-configured with the exact X-Action-Version and Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers required by the Dialect validator.

Dynamic Network Selection: Choose between Mainnet or Devnet via interactive CLI dropdowns. SolWink automatically maps and injects the correct Chain ID into your project.

Smart Variable Injection: The CLI prompts you for your Treasury Wallet or Candy Machine ID and securely injects them directly into the generated codebase.

💻 Use Cases

SolWink currently ships with the two most highly requested use cases in the Solana ecosystem: Templates

1. SOL Donation (Crowdfund)

A dynamic Blink that allows users to send SOL to a specific treasury wallet.

2. NFT Mint (Metaplex Candy Machine)

A fully integrated NFT minting Blink.

Features: Direct integration with Candy Machine v2/v3, pre-configured Umi instance, and optimized image rendering for Twitter unfurls.

Templates (under development)

We are actively expanding the SolWink template library to become the standard scaffolding tool for Solana Actions:

3. SPL Token Transfer

Support for sending USDC, BONK, and other custom tokens.

4. Jupiter Swaps

Direct token-to-token swaps right inside the Blink.

5. DAO Governance

On-chain voting for Realms/Snapshot.

6. Token Gating

A Blink that checks if you own a specific NFT. If you do, it reveals a "Claim" button for a discount code or secret link.

📁 Generated Architecture

SolWink generates a clean, Headless backend structure that is easy to deploy to Render, Railway, or Heroku:
