Valora Unveils Mobile Stack Web3 Apps Launchpad for iOS and Android Apps

Valora, a peer-to-peer payment platform, is the latest company to attempt to enter the Web3-focused smartphone class. With the trend of merging smartphone apps with Web3 technology seemingly increasing, the US-based company has announced a new service called ‘Mobile Stack’, which will serve as a launchpad for Web3 apps to run as smoothly as possible on smartphones. Valora says it can help Web3 service providers create and deliver interactive apps with a one-tap email-based onboarding process for customers in just ‘minutes’.

Velora’s web3 ambitions

Jackie Bona, co-founder and CEO of Valora, confirmed the development over the weekend via a post on X. The 45-second clip explained how Valora’s Mobile Stack would allow people to create decentralized apps (dApps) on the fly.

The stack will also offer onramp services to purchase crypto via fiat currencies to navigate within these dApps’ ecosystems. Additionally, Mobile Stack will also facilitate easy swiping for crypto tokens.

“I am excited to introduce a project that the Valora team has been working on called Mobile Stack. I see a great opportunity to deliver exceptional user experiences on mobile that will bring consumers around the world to web3,” said Bona, who re-shared a video showing how the Mobile Stack system would work.

The official website of Mobile stack states that only eight of the top 100 Web3 companies offer mobile experiences, which Valora analyzed ahead of the launch of its Mobile Stack platform.

The company describes current methods of making Web3 apps compatible with smartphones as “cumbersome.”

About the merger of web3 with smartphones

In recent years, the concept of Web3-integrated phones has attracted the attention of industry players.

CoralApp, a Binance-backed company, recently unveiled its flagship smartphone, the Coral Phone, which is packed with Web3 capabilities.

In May, African technology company Jambo introduced its JamboPhone, which supports multiple Web3 functionalities.

Solana Labs was the first major Web3 company to bring smartphones and Web3 together with the Solana Saga smartphone in 2022.

Despite this progress, the Web3 sector is still far from completing its merger with smartphones. According to the official blog by Mobile Stack, this problem is caused by the significant challenges faced in building secure and comprehensive crypto mobile applications.

“Creating an intuitive user interface for such complex functionalities has proven to be even more challenging. Without a simple method to design user-friendly interfaces that can effectively handle these multifaceted requirements, Web3 will miss any opportunity to bring new users to the Onchain ecosystem,” the post reads.
