Circle Adds Support for Solana Blockchain
Circle is rolling out support for the Solana blockchain across its Web3 services, enabling features such as programmable wallets and gas stations. The integration will take place in two phases.
According to an announcement on June 12, the first phase will focus on programmable wallets — allowing developers to automatically manage assets based on predefined rules — and sponsored transaction fees via its gas station feature.
The second stage will include support for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and program interactions through Smart Contract Platform, said Circle.
The move will align Solana with other blockchains already supported by Circle’s Web3 services, such as Ethereum, Polygon and Avalanche. Programmable Wallets can be configured to interact with smart contracts automatically.
This means that tasks typically requiring manual execution, such as executing transactions when certain conditions are met, can be automated.
