#Web3手机 From Toy to Tool: The Eight-Year Comeback of Web3 Phones

Who would have thought that in eight years, Web3 phones have played out a whole new game? Once a "niche toy," it is now speeding towards becoming a "mainstream tool." Five key transformations have completely rewritten the industry's logic!

Hardware security is no longer just about software patching. Solana Seeker has created the TEEPIN architecture to turn phones into trusted nodes, China Telecom's BSIM card hides private keys in the SIM card, and the MPC technology developed by Xiaomi and Sei even allows you to manage assets securely without remembering mnemonic phrases—hardcore technology is fully loaded. Moreover, today's Web3 phones are not fighting alone; Saga is tied to Solana, Up Mobile is tied to Movement Labs, directly becoming exclusive gateways to the public chain ecosystem.

Even more strikingly, buying a phone is no longer just about storing assets but is now aimed at gaining profits! Saga relies on token airdrops for "loss-leading traffic," fully understanding how to treat "phones as mining machines," leading to a frenzy among users. People are finally moving away from being obsessed with technical gimmicks; Xiaomi is focusing on stablecoin payments, and JamboPhone is turning built-in applications into monetization—solving real-world problems is the key. Most importantly, once major manufacturers like Xiaomi enter the market, with an annual shipment of 168 million units, the number of Web3 users can jump from "ten thousand" to "hundred million" in no time, and the scale effect directly crushes niche manufacturers.

In fact, the ultimate form of Web3 phones doesn’t need to specifically market itself as a Web3 product; it should just be comfortable to use, like 5G phones. So the question arises: which manufacturer do you think will be the first to turn Web3 phones into a mainstream tool that everyone can use? Share your thoughts in the comments!
