Episode notes
Mobile Makes Crypto Gaming Viable
- Mobile-first unlocks crypto gaming because successful mobile games drive mainstream engagement.
- With secure on-device custody and a dApp store free from Apple/Google restrictions, crypto games can be built native for phones.
Onboard Users By Integrating Crypto Into Their Existing Phones
- Meet users where they already do money stuff by integrating crypto features into mainstream phones rather than forcing migration to niche devices.
- Prioritize native wallet experiences that feel like Google Pay/Apple Pay to reduce onboarding friction.
SKR Exists To Coordinate The Mobile Ecosystem
- Solana Mobile launched SKR to align incentives across developers, users, and future OEM partners without relying solely on SOL.
- SKR enables coordinated economics for curation, rewards, and governance specific to the mobile dApp ecosystem.
