Agent Nyla: The First Solana App on Instagram
The Nyla Team successfully submitted to the Colosseum Hackathon, one of Solana's largest global hackathons with a fund ready to invest $2.5 million in winners.
Their submission consists of three core components:
- Instagram integration
- Mobile app for iOS and Android
- Web App V2
1. Instagram: A World First 🏆
This is a massive technical breakthrough. To our knowledge, this is the first Solana application to ever work directly on Instagram.
How to use it:
- Visit the Agent Nyla Web App and link your Instagram account by commenting your link code on a post from the official @Agent.Nyla Instagram account.
- This generates a new wallet that needs to be funded separately from your X wallet.
- From there, you can comment on other Instagram posts using the same commands from the X agent.
The recipient username on Instagram receives funds in a wallet automatically created for them. To claim and use the funds, users simply link their account through the web or mobile app.
2. Mobile Apps for iOS & Android 📱
The mobile apps are another huge piece of the product puzzle.
This V1 release allows users to:
- Sign up or log in to their Agent Nyla account
- Authenticate using username/password or X login
- Start the Instagram linking flow
Core Features
- Transfer funds to anyone directly from the app
- View portfolio and account activity
- Push notifications for activity in or out of X or Instagram wallets
Future updates will bring token swapping, platform activity exploration, and launchpad access for upcoming Nyla features.
3. Web App V2 💻
The V2 Web App delivers major improvements:
- ✨ A fully redesigned homepage explaining the platform to newcomers and crypto veterans
- ⚡ A library of one-click action buttons for pre-loaded tweets
- 📊 Upgraded site stats and swap features
- 💬 Send to any user via wallet address or X handle directly from the dashboard
This ensures that no social platform can ever take Nyla down. Users will always have a core web hub for sending crypto to anyone.
