APhone expands its reach among Solana mobile users, aiming to drive broader Web3 adoption and connectivity. APhone will first airdrop 20,000 one-year access passes to Solana Saga users, and then provide customized cloud phones to users who pre-order Solana Mobile Chapter 2 devices.
In response to overwhelming demand for its upcoming Chapter 2 smartphone, which has already secured 100,000 pre-orders in less than a month, APhone today announced a plan within the Solana Mobile ecosystem. This will enable Solana Saga users to enable APhone’s decentralized cloud smartphone through their devices.

APhone's cloud smartphone offers its own Web3 app store, bypassing traditional hardware limitations by using Aethir's DeCloud technology. This enables users to access more than 500 Web3 applications, games, and DeFi protocols on the Solana blockchain directly from the browser on their existing device.
This feature is especially critical for those waiting for the new Solana smartphones, who are looking for the ability to buy, sell and spend cryptocurrencies. While Chapter 2 smartphones will bring new Solana-native features, delivery is not expected until early 2025. Initially, APhone will airdrop 20,000 Access Pass NFTs to Solana Saga users, providing unparalleled processing power without consuming device resources. Soon, APhone will airdrop customized Solana phones to users on the Saga Chapter 2 waiting list.
This initiative not only meets the immediate needs of users, but also strengthens Solana Mobile's position in the market by providing an ecosystem that is free from the constraints of traditional app stores without having to wait for a physical device.
"Our goal is to make advanced Web3 capabilities readily accessible to everyone, regardless of hardware limitations," said William Peckham, chief commercial officer at APhone. "Currently, major app stores are becoming a bottleneck to widespread Web3 adoption. We are committed to making Users from all walks of life bring global use of blockchain technology.”
APhone strives to provide a cost-effective Web3 portal that provides users with a high degree of sovereignty over their data, transcending the closed environments of traditional mobile brands. This is particularly critical in emerging markets and economies, where individuals often have limited purchasing power.
APhone is powered by Aethir's decentralized cloud technology, and user data is distributed across the global network, eliminating single points of failure and enhancing security and risk privacy. In addition, Aethir provides real-time services and supports various applications including cloud gaming.
APhone currently utilizes Qualcomm 865 and RK3588 series of CPUs, which support 8K video codecs and have many powerful embedded hardware engines to provide optimized performance for high-end applications. APhone's GPU is currently in shared mode, meaning a single APhone instance can utilize all the GPU power of a Qualcomm 865 (15 TOPS), 8550 (48 TOPS), or the entire RK3588.
The Chapter 2 phone, expected to launch in 2025, improves on the Saga phone by offering better value for money and wider distribution at a price of $450, as well as enhanced features such as Seed Vault and a decentralized app store . Solana Mobile has adapted its strategy to meet the needs of the growing cryptocurrency user base, with the goal of building a strong user base that not only supports its profitability but also promotes the continued growth of its ecosystem.
