A Solana payment link service that lets anyone send crypto via URL without requiring the recipient to have an existing wallet. Senders create a link containing tokens, and recipients claim them through a simple web interface that generates a wallet automatically. TipLink dramatically lowers the onboarding barrier for new crypto users by removing the need to install wallet software before receiving funds.

Use the quick analogy first so the term is easier to reason about when you meet it in code, docs, or prompts.
Think of it as a building block that connects one definition to the larger Solana system around it.
Place the term inside its Solana layer so the definition is easier to reason about.
Teams, protocols, tools, and the wider Solana product landscape.
Turn the term from vocabulary into something operational for product and engineering work.
This term unlocks adjacent concepts quickly, so it works best when you treat it as a junction instead of an isolated definition.
Use this compact block when you want to give an agent or assistant grounded context without dumping the entire page.

Use glossary context, relationships, mental models, and builder paths to get structured answers instead of generic chat output.
Optional: paste Anchor, Solana, or Rust code so the Copilot can map primitives back to glossary terms.
The Copilot will answer using the current term, related concepts, mental models, and the surrounding glossary graph.
These branches show which concepts this term touches directly and what sits one layer beyond them.
An open payment standard and SDK that defines URI schemes and protocol flows for requesting SOL or SPL token transfers and for constructing and returning partially-built transactions from merchant backends to user wallets. It comprises two sub-protocols — Transfer Requests (simple static payment URIs) and Transaction Requests (dynamic server-signed transaction fetching) — and enables point-of-sale payments, loyalty programs, and interactive commerce experiences using QR codes or deeplinks.
The native token of the Solana blockchain, used for paying transaction fees, staking, and rent. 1 SOL equals 1 billion lamports. SOL has an inflationary supply schedule starting at 8% annually, decreasing by 15% per year, with a long-term floor of 1.5%. Transaction base fees (5,000 lamports) are partially burned.
Software or hardware that manages cryptographic keys and enables users to sign transactions, view balances, and interact with dApps. Hot wallets (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack) are internet-connected for convenience. Cold wallets (Ledger, Trezor) store keys offline for security. Wallets don't actually 'hold' tokens—they hold the private keys that control on-chain accounts.
These are the next concepts worth opening if you want this term to make more sense inside a real Solana workflow.
These entries are easy to mix up when you are reading quickly, prompting an LLM, or onboarding into a new layer of Solana.
A decentralized rideshare protocol on Solana aiming to create a driver-owned alternative to centralized ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. Teleport uses token incentives to bootstrap a network of drivers and riders, with smart contracts handling payments and reputation. The protocol represents a DePIN approach to transportation, removing platform intermediary fees through decentralized coordination.

The most popular Solana wallet, available as a browser extension and mobile app with multi-chain support (Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, Bitcoin). Phantom provides token swaps, NFT management, staking, and a built-in dApp browser. Known for its clean UX and rapid feature adoption, it has become the default entry point for most Solana users and consistently ranks among the top crypto wallets by active users.
A Solana-native wallet offering browser extension, mobile, and web interfaces with deep staking integration, hardware wallet support (Ledger), and a built-in dApp browser. Solflare was one of the first Solana wallets and provides advanced features like stake account management, token metadata display, and priority fee controls. It supports the Solana Wallet Standard for seamless dApp connectivity.
A multi-chain wallet developed by Coral (the team behind xNFT protocol) that combines MPC and self-custody models. Backpack pioneered executable NFTs (xNFTs) that embed full applications inside NFTs, enabling a decentralized app store experience within the wallet. It supports Solana, Ethereum, and other chains with a focus on developer extensibility and programmable wallet experiences.
A regulated cryptocurrency exchange built by the same team behind Backpack Wallet (Coral). Licensed in multiple jurisdictions, it offers spot and perpetual futures trading with a focus on the Solana ecosystem. Backpack Exchange integrates tightly with the Backpack Wallet for seamless fund transfers and aims to bridge the gap between centralized exchange liquidity and self-custodial wallet experiences.
