Choose Life: APIs Over SDKs
In crypto, we live at dog-year speed. Protocols ship fast, integrations need to be faster. But here’s the challenge: every SDK you maintain, every programming language you support, creates a long chain of breaking changes. Strong APIs are a win-winFor protocol teams
Build one great transaction endpoint that works everywhere
For integrators
Any developer, web2 or web3, can integrate with simple HTTP requests
The best teams are switching to strong APIs instead of maintaining SDKs and the Standard Blinks Library brings this approach to Solana’s top protocols.

Why Choose the Standard Blinks Library?
Quality & Reliability
Curated Protocols
Top Solana ecosystem projects you already know and love
OpenAPI Documentation
Interactive docs with examples that you can test directly in your browser
Daily Automated Tests
Tests run across the Standard Blink Library to ensure Blinks remain operational
Production-Ready
Optimized transactions with validation and error handling built-in
Zero Maintenance
No SDKs to update, no breaking changes, no version conflicts
Regular Updates
New protocols and operations added weekly
Transactions as a Service
Think of the SBL as Transactions as a Service. Instead of:- Installing heavy SDKs
- Learning protocol-specific APIs
- Managing dependencies across languages
- Dealing with breaking changes
- Make an HTTP request
- Receive a ready-to-sign transaction
- Sign it with any wallet
How It Works
1
Find the Blink
Browse the protocol-specific sections in the SBL to find the operation you need (swap, deposit, claim, repay, withdraw, etc.)
2
Fetch the Transaction
Make a simple POST request with the user’s wallet address. Get back a ready-to-sign transaction.
3
Sign and Send
Sign the transaction with the user’s wallet and send it to Solana. Done.
