- “Solana Mobile Chapter 2” garners 60,000 pre-orders, offering affordable cryptographic integration for $450, set for 2025 release.
- Anatoly Yakovenko highlights the model’s success, reflecting growing interest in cryptographic mobile technology, with previous version sold out in 2023.
The launch of the “Solana Mobile Chapter 2”, successor to Solana’s Saga, has captured the market’s attention with 60,000 pre-orders before its anticipated release in 2025. This cryptographic phone, announced on January 16, is shaping up as a more accessible option for users interested in cryptocurrencies, priced at $450.
Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana and CEO of Solana Labs, highlighted the high number of orders received, reflecting the growing interest in phones with cryptographic capabilities. The previous model, the Solana Mobile Saga, initially launched at $1,000 and later adjusted to $599, sold out in December 2023 in the United States, setting a precedent for the success of its successor.
In a marketing effort, Solana Mobile has implemented a referral leaderboard, incentivizing users to promote the product. The top 1,500 referrers will receive a non-transferable Element NFT and potential rewards from teams associated with the Solana ecosystem, such as Mad Lads and Jupiter. This strategy aims not only to increase sales but also to foster community engagement.
The first review of the leaderboard was conducted on February 6, and each pre-order will receive a token after each review. This tactic seeks to maintain interest in the product until its launch.
The increase in pre-orders for “Solana Mobile Chapter 2” suggests growing interest in the combination of mobile technology and cryptocurrencies. By offering a device that integrates both technologies at a lower price, Solana aims to attract a broader audience and potentially drive greater adoption of cryptocurrencies.
The launch of the “Solana Mobile Chapter 2” in 2025 will be a key event to watch, as it could influence how consumers interact with cryptocurrencies through mobile devices. With its focus on integrating cryptography into phones, Solana aims to set a new trend in the mobile device and cryptocurrency market.
