Solana Labs Creates New Open-Source ChatGPT Plugin

Validated Individual Expert

Solana Labs chatGPT plugin — Software company, Solana Labs announced a new ChatGPT plugin that grants users access to its blockchain data. This was revealed via a tweet on April 25.

According to the tweet, the “open-source” plugin will allow users to check wallet balances, transfer tokens and purchase NFTs once it is available. Furthermore, Solana Labs invites developers who might be interested to test the code and launch their own version. See the tweet below:

In a screenshot attached to the tweet, the plugin lists the number of NFTs held by a Solana address as requested by a user. In another image, the plugin helps a user send a Solana transaction to another address. Each of the commands returned appropriate instructions in simple language.

However, Solana Labs did not mention when the plugin will be launched and made available. The new plugin responds to commands by collecting data from online sources and also interacting with other websites.

Furthermore, the project’s GitHub page shows that the plugin can be installed via the address https://solana-gpt-plugin.onrender.com as an unverified plugin.

Public Reactions to Solana Labs chatGPT plugin

Nevertheless, not everyone seems to be impressed with the new plugin. One user commented on Twitter asking Solana to first develop a “working block explorer.” Another user questioned its potential benefit to the ecosystem.

Furthermore, Solana Labs expresses its support for AI projects. In another tweet, it also announced $1 million in funding for AI for projects that are built on the Solana blockchain.

Just Another Blockchain AI Tool

Solana Labs’ new open-source plugin is just another blockchain AI tool to be released in recent times. On April 24, Binance launched “ Sensei Chatbot “ — a ChatGPT-powered tool.

Visa also announced on the same day its plan to hire an AI blockchain developer. Furthermore, the Opera browser also announced “Opera One” — an AI-integrated browser. Also, the potential of AI in the entertainment industry has been spoken about extensively.

  • The EU will collect data proving that cryptocurrency PoW mechanisms "seriously" harm the environment and plans to develop sustainability standards

    On September 28th, the European Commission released a tender contract worth 800,000 euros (approximately $842,000) aimed at mitigating the "significant harm" that cryptocurrency poses to the environment. The research, which will end on November 10th, will establish standards that will be incorporated into potential future EU policies to curb the impact of cryptocurrency on climate change and develop new energy efficiency labels for blockchain. The European Commission stated in the tender document that "there is evidence that crypto-assets can cause significant damage to the climate and the environment," which could undermine the EU's greenhouse gas reduction targets, indicating that new sustainable development standards may be adopted in the future. EU legislators are concerned about the energy-intensive PoW consensus mechanism that supports blockchain such as Bitcoin. The EU's research will be completed within a year and will study green issues related to the use of water, waste, natural resources, and energy by cryptocurrencies. (CoinDesk)
