- With Circle’s new tools, developing on-chain apps for Solana is made easier.
Circle has formalized the integration of Gas Station and Programmable Wallets, expanding its Web3 Services to include the Solana blockchain. Both solutions seek to enhance the developer experience by streamlining the on-chain application development process.
These services aim to relieve developers of the technical burden of managing transaction fees and private key security, allowing them to concentrate on expanding their apps.
While petrol Station allows developers to cover customers’ petrol costs, Programmable Wallets enable developers to create apps that can potentially be used by millions of people worldwide.
According to Circle’s release, the Solana developer community, which is renowned for its quick development and creative creation of payment applications, will gain a great deal from this extension.
Circle views the expanding payment ecosystem within Solana as trustworthy, since it strives to enable frictionless value exchange on a worldwide scale. PayPal selected Solana as the initial blockchain to diversify beyond Ethereum’s PYUSD stablecoin in May.
Especially noteworthy is Circle’s proactive support of the Solana ecosystem. Previous attempts included native USDC and EURC integration and the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP). The integration of Solana support into Circle’s Web3 Services will happen in stages; the current one is focused on fungible token transfers and transaction fee sponsorship.
Additionally, Circle notes that in the future, support for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and interactions with the Smart Contract Platform are anticipated to be added. This will open up a wider range of use cases, including gaming and loyalty programs based on NFTs.
