APhone is beyond excited to announce our strategic partnership with Aethir, pioneers of decentralized cloud technology. By integrating Aethir’s high-performance decentralized cloud architecture, APhone will deliver the first seamless and stable mobile streaming experience that provides users with unfettered access to Web3 apps directly from their smartphone devices.

APhone leverages Aethir’s decentralized cloud protocol which is optimized for low latency graphical streaming. This enables us to virtualize the mobile experience on blockchain, removing restrictions imposed by centralized app stores. Users can enjoy lag-free mobile gaming, DeFi apps, and more — anywhere at any time, without limits.

“Aethir’s innovative decentralized cloud technology is the missing piece that will allow us to grant users their mobile freedom,” said Julie Zhu, APhone’s Tech Lead. “By virtualizing smartphones on blockchain, we can offer capabilities far beyond physical device limitations. Our collaboration represents a major step toward the decentralized computing future we envision.”

The Aethir team said “We are thrilled to power APhone’s vision for decentralized and unrestricted mobile technology. With Aethir’s decentralized cloud infrastructure, we can give blockchain-native smartphone experiences the smooth, stable performance users expect.”

APhone will initially launch on the Solana blockchain on March 7, with plans to expand services across multiple ecosystems thereafter. As strategic partners, Aethir and APhone are pioneering the next evolution of virtual mobile technology — one that places privacy, user control, and permissionless innovation at the forefront. Together, we are writing the playbook for blockchain smartphones on decentralized cloud.

Stay tuned for more announcements as APhone’s launch approaches! The future of mobile is almost here.
