Solana Takes Action ($)

1. 😬 ETH nears $3,000. Ethereum holders didn't have much to celebrate for the 4th of July as the asset took a 6% dive Thursday.
2. 💰 EigenLayer competitor hits $1B in deposits. Lido-backed Symbiotic has reached $1B in deposits in less than a month as depositors back the protocol.
3. 🔵 FRIEND is staying on Base. FriendTech may be planning a migration to its own chain, but its token is staying put after community backlash. The token has lost 50% in value just this week.

📸 Daily Market Snapshot: Bear market sentiment went full throttle on Crypto Twitter Thursday as both ETH and BTC posted big one-day losses, with BTC briefly dipping below $57K and ETH fighting $3,100.

	Crypto $2.12T	↘4.7%	↘7.4%
	BTC $58,165	↘3.2%	↘5.4%
	ETH $3,144	↘4.6%	↘8.8%

If bringing crypto to the users where they are was a competition, Solana might just have won it with the introduction of Actions and Blinks – developer frameworks that bring crypto directly to any website on the internet.

Imagine scrolling Twitter, and spotting an NFT you've gotta have. Normally, that could set you off on a web3 odyssey where you have to step through the various unwieldy "standard" transaction steps to buy the NFT. But with Blinks, it's a single click. 

This might all seem like a small, inconsequential thing, but it's a friction-smashing superpower.

Let's take a look at how Blinks are a major step in the right direction towards making crypto more user-friendly and why Solana leading the way in UX is a big deal 👇
