APhone expands its reach to Solana mobile users to encourage wider Web3 adoption and connectivity. APhone will first airdrop 20K annual access passes to Solana Saga users and later will offer custom cloud phones for users who pre-ordered Solana Mobile’s Chapter 2 devices.
Tuesday 25th June - 9am ET - In response to the overwhelming demand for its forthcoming Chapter 2 smartphone, which has amassed an impressive 100,000 preorders in under a month, APhone today announces an initiative within the Solana Mobile ecosystem. This will enable Solana Saga owners to activate APhone’s decentralized cloud smartphone via their devices.
APhone’s cloud smartphone offers its own Web3 app store and bypasses traditional hardware limitations by utilizing Aethir’s decentralized cloud (DeCloud) technology. This enables users direct access to over 500 Web3 apps, games, and DeFi protocols on the Solana blockchain directly via a browser on their existing devices.
This functionality is especially crucial for those awaiting new Solana mobile smartphones who seek the ability to buy, sell, and use cryptocurrencies. While the Chapter 2 smartphone is set to bring new levels of Solana-native functionality into a mobile device, it is scheduled for delivery in early 2025. Initially, APhone will be airdropping 20,000 Access Pass NFTs to Solana Saga users to provide unrivaled processing power without draining the device’s resources. Soon after, APhone will airdrop Solana custom phones to those on the Saga Chapter 2 waitlist.
This initiative serves customers' immediate needs and strengthens Solana Mobile's position in the market by providing an ecosystem free of traditional app store gatekeeping without waiting for a physical device.
"Our goal is to make advanced web3 functionalities accessible to everyone, anytime, without being limited by hardware constraints," said William Peckham, Chief Business Officer at APhone. "Currently, major app stores are acting as bottlenecks to widespread Web3 adoption. We’re committed to bringing worldwide access to blockchain technology for users of all backgrounds and walks of life."
APhone strives to provide a cost-effective gateway into Web3, giving users a high degree of sovereignty over their data beyond the closed garden environments of conventional mobile brands. This becomes especially crucial in emerging markets and economies, where individuals often have limited purchasing power.
Powered by Aethir's decentralized cloud technology, APhone user data is distributed across a global network, eliminating single points of failure and enhancing security and data privacy. Additionally, Aethir provides real-time services to support a host of applications, including cloud gaming.
The APhone uses cloud virtualization to handle demanding tasks like streaming and downloads simultaneously while removing specification constraints on local devices. Moreover, dedicated cloud-based GPU hardware delivers smooth visuals with minimal power draw.
APhone currently leverages Qualcomm 865 and RK3588 series CPUs, which support an 8K video codec and boast many powerful embedded hardware engines that provide optimized performance for high-end applications. Aphone’s GPU power is currently in shared mode, meaning a single Aphone instance can utilize the full GPU power of a Qualcomm 865 (15 TOPS), 8550 (48 TOPS), or entire RK3588.
The forthcoming Chapter 2 phone, expected in 2025, improves on the Saga launch by targeting affordability and broader distribution, featuring a reduced price of $450 and enhancements such as Seed Vault and a decentralized app store. Solana Mobile has adapted its strategy to cater to the growing crypto audience, aiming to build a strong user base that supports profitability and further development of its ecosystem.
