APhone has introduced AppNest, a new web3 native app store designed to provide users and developers with an alternative to traditional app store models dominated by Apple and Google. Exclusively accessible through the APhone app, AppNest aims to reduce barriers to entry by eliminating the 30% fees typically charged by major platforms.

What is AppNest?

The primary focus of AppNest includes decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming. Users can explore a variety of services such as crypto exchanges (Binance, OKX, Bybit), wallet services (Phantom, Metamask, Uniswap), and popular NFT marketplaces like OpenSea and Magic Eden.

The gaming section features titles such as Mighty Action Heroes, Battle.tech, and Stargate, catering to enthusiasts of blockchain-based entertainment. William Paul Peckham, Chief Business Officer of APhone, highlighted the platform's mission:

"With AppNest, we aim to offer users an alternative mobile experience that goes beyond traditional gatekeepers. Our goal is to democratize access to technology and provide a comprehensive web3 mobile experience worldwide, regardless of geographical or economic constraints."

Partnership with Magic Eden

The team recently announced a strategic partnership with NFT marketplace Magic Eden. This collaboration aims to enhance accessibility to web3 technology and empower both users and developers alike.

The centerpiece of this partnership is the sale of Access Pass NFTs on Magic Eden. Priced at 0.2 SOL, roughly equivalent to $25, each Access Pass grants users access to the full range of APhone functionality for an entire year. This move effectively breaks down barriers for users, allowing them to experience the benefits of web3 regardless of their device's technical specifications.

Rewards, Tokens, Airdrops 

In addition to unlocking APhone's features, purchasers of these Access Pass NFTs will also receive 10 key rewards. These rewards hold the promise of future token airdrops, enhancing the value proposition for users. Furthermore, buyers will enjoy a 25% boost in Magic Eden's Diamond Rewards on its marketplace, adding an extra incentive to participate in the sale.

William Peckham, the chief business officer of APhone, emphasized the company's commitment to decentralization and accessibility. He stated, "APhone Passes allow any smartphone user to effortlessly enjoy all the benefits of web3, irrespective of their device's technical limitations. This aligns perfectly with our mission of making web3 accessible to everyone."

Cross Platform Compatibility

APhone's compatibility across various platforms, including desktops, mobiles, and VR headsets, is made possible by its cloud infrastructure provided by Aethir. This device-agnostic approach enables users to access demanding apps and games directly from their web browser, eliminating the need for costly development and backward compatibility concerns.

The recent integration of APhone with Solana has further expanded its ecosystem, granting users access to over 500 web3 apps, games, NFTs, and DeFi protocols. Notably, the app comes pre-installed with popular web3 games such as HoneyLand, Mighty Action Heroes, and Warpcast, offering users a diverse range of entertainment options.
