Solana has recently announced its latest achievement, the creation of an open-source reference implementation for a ChatGPT plugin that allows users to interact with the Solana network directly from OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
This marks Solana’s entry into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) and aims to enhance user experience on the network.
The plugin allows users to check wallet balances, transfer Solana-native tokens, and buy non-fungible tokens (NFTs), as well as enabling developers to build AI-powered applications on the Solana network.
The announcement comes two weeks after Solana unveiled its crypto-first ‘Saga’ Android phone, which will be available for purchase from May 8.
Solana’s network has seen increased activity recently, causing the price of its native token SOL to rise by more than 11% in the last 30 days. At the time of writing, the SOL price was up 7.33% 34 hours after the announcement of the ChatGPT plugin.
In addition to the plugin, the Solana Foundation has also announced that it will be allocating grants to its ecosystem teams building AI tools on the Solana blockchain. Teams or individuals will be able to seek from $5,000 to $25,000 grants from a $1 million fund.
