How scoring works →Summary
Dialect (dialect.to) is a Solana-focused smart messaging and infrastructure company best known for co-developing the Blinks (Blockchain Links) and Actions standard with the Solana Foundation, launched in June 2024. Founded in 2021 by Chris Osborn, a named founder with a verifiable academic and professional background, the company raised a $4.1M seed round in March 2022 led by Multicoin Capital and Jump Crypto. No regulatory actions, fraud allegations, or confirmed security incidents specific to Dialect have been documented; the principal risk surface is the Blinks protocol itself, which introduces phishing and malicious-endpoint attack vectors that Dialect attempts to mitigate through a public registry of verified actions.
