Jambo, a company dedicated to bringing Web 3 to emerging markets, has integrated its Jambo phone into the popular Solana blockchain. The move aims to bring decentralized finance (DeFi) and other Web 3 services to users in these regions by providing more affordable and convenient access.

The Jambo phone now comes pre-installed with the Jambo wallet, a multi-chain wallet that supports Solana and other blockchains. Users can use the wallet to store, send and receive cryptocurrencies, as well as access a variety of DeFi applications. In addition, the Jambo phone will also provide a series of educational resources to help users understand blockchain technology and Web 3.

“We are excited to add Solana to the Jambo phone,” said Arthur Akumova, Founder and CEO of Jambo. “Solana’s high throughput and low transaction fees make it ideal for users in emerging markets. We believe the Jambo phone will make Web 3 more accessible and unlock new economic opportunities for people in emerging markets.”

“The Jambo phone is another important step for Solana to make Web 3 more accessible,” said Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation. “We are committed to working with Jambo to provide education and resources to people in emerging markets, helping them make the most of blockchain technology.”

The launch of the Jambo phone is the latest move by Solana to expand its reach around the world. The blockchain has recently made significant inroads in Africa and Latin America, partnering with a number of companies to launch new products and services.

Jambo Phone's key features include:

  • Pre-installed Jambo wallet, supporting Solana and other blockchains

  • Web 3 browser for accessing DeFi applications

  • Cryptocurrency Education Resources

  • Low price and wide availability


The launch of the Jambo phone has the potential to open the door to Web 3 for millions of people in emerging markets. By providing more affordable and convenient access, Jambo can help close the digital divide and create new economic opportunities for all.
