SolFlare, the wallet created for Solana, has released the mobile version of its popular dApp-enabled wallet, making it the first Solana mobile wallet with full support for Solana's key features.
What it is and how it works
Solflare Mobile is available for download on both the App Store and Play Store and will provide all the features already available in the web version and browser extension. Solflare Mobile will make it easier for Solana users to seamlessly store and exchange SOL and SPL tokens, stake native SOL tokens, and also view and send NFTs directly from their smartphones, eliminating the traditional functionality gap between the mobile version and the web of a wallet.
Mobile wallets with support for DeFi and NFT are generally hard to find outside of Ethereum. Existing mobile wallets supporting Solana only allowed basic token transfers, which likely slowed the growth of Solana's user base. Comprehensive mobile wallets have repeatedly proven to be a key aspect of engaging with crypto ecosystems; for example, at least half of MetaMask users are using its recently released mobile version.
SolFlare is a non-custodial digital wallet built specifically for Solana. In its browser-based iteration, Solflare is already one of the most popular digital wallets for Solana. SolFlare is currently serving it staking for 22% of the outstanding SOL, for a value of over $ 16 billion. A unique feature of the SolFlare wallet is the ability to view, point and send both visual and audio NFTs, a feature that will also be available on the SolFlare Mobile wallet.
Development in progress
The portfolio created by the SolFlare community aims to offer a simple and smooth experience like that provided on the desktop, where all of Solana's dApps are easily accessible, along with the flexibility offered by a mobile app.
While initially lacking the entirety of the features available to desktop users, SolFlare Mobile is expected to add hardware wallet integration, WalletConnect, and a native token exchange functionality soon.
"We think opening up the Solana ecosystem to mobile users will be a game changer for adoption," said Filip Dragoslavic, co-founder of SolFlare,
"More and more cryptocurrency users are going mobile-first every year and we believe making the Solana experience easy for these users is the key to continuing its explosive growth."
