Circle Introduces NFT Support on Solana and New Sample App for Programmable Wallets

Circle
has
announced
significant
updates
to
its
Programmable
Wallets,
aimed
at
enhancing
the
developer
experience.
According
to

Circle,
these
updates
include
support
for
non-fungible
tokens
(NFTs)
on
the
Solana
blockchain
and
the
release
of
a
new
sample
application
for
user-controlled
wallets.

NFT
Support
on
Solana

The
latest
updates
introduce
feature
support
for
developers
building
with
Programmable
Wallets
on
Solana.
With
this
enhancement,
wallets
created
by
developers
can
now
support
Solana
NFTs.
This
integration
opens
up
opportunities
to
interact
with
the
broad
ecosystem
of
Solana
NFTs,
including
marketplaces,
lending
platforms,
and
gaming
applications.
Interested
developers
can
refer
to
the

API
updates
for
detailed
instructions
on
how
to
implement
Solana
NFT
support.

Updates
to
Token
Balance
Query
Responses

Circle
has
also
updated
the
behavior
of
two
API
endpoints
that
manage
token
balances
within
a
wallet.
To
eliminate
confusion
around
tokens
with
zero
balance,
these
API
endpoints
will
no
longer
include
such
tokens
in
their
responses.
Developers
using
these
endpoints
are
advised
to
review
how
these
changes
might
impact
their
projects.
However,
if
the
monitored
token
feature
is
enabled,
tokens
with
zero
balance
will
still
be
included
in
the
responses.

New
Sample
App
for
User-Controlled
Wallets

Circle
has
introduced
a
new
sample
app
designed
to
help
developers
create
their
first
user-controlled
wallets
in
under
10
minutes.
The
sample
app
provides
a
walkthrough
video
that
guides
users
through
the
process
of:

• Onboarding
  users
  and
  automatically
  generating
  on-chain
  wallets
• Enabling
  users
  to
  send
  and
  receive
  USDC
  through
  their
  wallets
• Setting
  up
  Gas
  Station
  to
  sponsor
  network
  fees
  on
  behalf
  of
  users

These
updates
underscore
Circle’s
commitment
to
facilitating
the
development
of
decentralized
applications
and
enhancing
the
capabilities
available
to
developers
in
the
Web3
space.
