Users will be able to buy, sell, send, and stake SOL and other Solana-based tokens directly through the mobile application.

SolFlare, the popular wallet built for the Solana blockchain, has launched Android and iOS mobile versions. Aside from buying, selling, and storing SOL and Solana-based tokens, users will also be able to stake them through the app version.

SolFlare’s Mobile SOL Wallet Arrives

The press release shared with CryptoPotato explained that the newly-launched mobile version of the SolFlare wallet is the first Solana mobile wallet supporting such features as the aforementioned ones.

Customers will be able to download the app for free from the Play Store or the App Store, and all services have been integrated already. Meaning, the mobile version will provide the same benefits as its web counterparty and the browser extension.

“SolFlare Mobile will facilitate Solana users to seamlessly store and swap SOL and SPL tokens, to stake SOL native tokens, and also to view and send NFTs directly from their smartphones, eliminating the traditional feature divide between the mobile and the web version of the wallet.” – reads the announcement.

The team explained that the non-custodial digital wallet, built specifically for Solana, is already responsible for more than 20% of all staking of the circulating SOL token. From a USD perspective, this amounts to roughly $16 billion.

The wallet also allows users to view, stake, and send both visual and audio NFTs. This feature will be available for the application as well.

The App is a Game-Changer

Filip Dragoslavic, the co-founder of SolFlare, touched upon the massive growth the Solana blockchain experienced this year, which was also felt by projects related to it. As such, he classified the launch of the mobile application as a “game-changer for adoption” since most users prefer employing their phones rather than personal computers.

“More and more crypto users are becoming mobile-first every year, and we believe that making the Solana experience easy for these users is key to continuing its explosive growth.” – Dragoslavic added.
