APhone is expanding its services to Solana mobile users to promote broader Web3 adoption and connectivity. Initially, APhone will airdrop 20,000 annual access passes to Solana Saga users, followed by offering custom cloud phones to those who pre-ordered Solana Mobile’s Chapter 2 devices.

In response to the massive demand for the upcoming Chapter 2 smartphone, which has seen 100,000 preorders in just a month, APhone announces a new initiative within the Solana Mobile ecosystem. This initiative allows Solana Saga owners to activate APhone’s decentralized cloud smartphone directly on their devices.
APhone’s cloud smartphone, leveraging Aethir’s decentralized cloud (DeCloud) technology, offers a Web3 app store, giving users access to over 500 Web3 apps, games, and DeFi protocols on the Solana blockchain through their browsers. This approach bypasses traditional hardware limitations, ensuring users can engage with Web3 functionalities seamlessly.
While the Chapter 2 smartphone promises advanced Solana-native capabilities and is expected to be delivered in early 2025, APhone addresses the immediate needs of Solana users. Initially, APhone will airdrop 20,000 Access Pass NFTs to Solana Saga users, providing high processing power without taxing their devices.
Following this, custom Solana phones will be airdropped to those on the Chapter 2 waitlist. This initiative aims to serve immediate customer needs and solidify Solana Mobile’s market presence by offering an ecosystem free from traditional app store restrictions.
“Our mission is to make advanced Web3 functionalities accessible to everyone, regardless of hardware constraints. Major app stores are currently hindering widespread Web3 adoption. We’re dedicated to providing global access to blockchain technology for users everywhere.”
William Peckham, Chief Business Officer at APhone
APhone aims to be a cost-effective gateway into Web3, offering users significant control over their data, which is especially vital in emerging markets where purchasing power is limited.
Advanced Technology and Performance
Powered by Aethir’s decentralized cloud technology, APhone ensures user data is distributed globally, eliminating single points of failure and enhancing security and privacy. APhone uses cloud virtualization to manage demanding tasks like streaming and downloads, removing the need for high-spec local devices. Cloud-based GPU hardware ensures smooth visuals with minimal power consumption.
APhone currently utilizes Qualcomm 865 and RK3588 series CPUs, supporting an 8K video codec and featuring powerful embedded hardware engines for optimized performance. APhone’s GPU power is shared, allowing a single instance to use the full capabilities of a Qualcomm 865 (15 TOPS), 8550 (48 TOPS), or an entire RK3588.
The Chapter 2 phone, expected in 2025, will build on the Saga launch with a focus on affordability and broader distribution, priced at $450. It will feature enhancements like Seed Vault and a decentralized app store, catering to the growing crypto audience and supporting the development of Solana’s ecosystem.
