Gem Wallet is now available on the Solana dApp Store - Solana Mobile users can install the wallet directly and start using it right away without unnecessary barriers.
What Is Solana Mobile?
Solana Mobile is not just another Android smartphone. It’s a specialized platform built for seamless and secure interaction with Web3. Devices like the Solana Saga come with a built-in dApp Store - a dedicated marketplace for decentralized applications. Unlike Google Play, there are no intermediaries or fees - everything runs directly on the blockchain.
Why Solana Mobile Matters
Solana Mobile was created to make interacting with the Solana blockchain as simple and intuitive as using regular mobile apps. Most people today rely on smartphones, yet mobile Web3 apps remain restricted by forced verification, blocked crypto transactions, and high platform fees. Solana Mobile removes these barriers. You can install decentralized apps, mint NFTs, use DeFi, and send tokens - all directly from your phone. The interface is simple, transaction approvals take just a few taps, and full control over your funds stays with you.
Within this ecosystem, Gem Wallet fits perfectly as a lightweight and secure mobile crypto wallet. It can be installed directly from the Solana dApp Store, without relying on Google Play or other limitations. Apps recognize the wallet automatically and connect to it without scanning QR codes. Gem has also passed the Solana community review and fully meets the platform’s requirements.
What Solana Mobile Users Get With Gem
-
Full Control Over Your Crypto: Gem Wallet is a self-custodial wallet: only you control access to your assets. Private keys are stored on your device, not on company servers. No one - not developers, not the platform - has access to your balance.
-
Open-Source & Multichain Wallet: Gem isn’t just for Solana. You can store and use dozens of networks - from Ethereum and Tron to Bitcoin and BNB Chain - all in one app. The entire codebase is public, verifiable, and available on GitHub.
-
Cross-Chain Swaps Without Exchanges: Swap SOL for ETH, USDT, or other tokens directly in the app. No centralized exchanges, no extra services - just you, the wallet, and the best rates aggregated automatically.
-
Complete Privacy: Gem doesn’t ask for an email or phone number, doesn’t track your actions, and doesn’t send analytics data. Privacy isn’t a feature - it’s the default.
-
Seamless dApp Connections: Any app from the Solana dApp Store - whether it’s an NFT marketplace, DEX, or Web3 game - connects to Gem automatically. Just tap “Connect” and approve - no copying addresses or scanning QR codes.
-
Staking With Up To 7.8% APY: Put your Solana tokens to work. With just a few taps, you can stake SOL, choose a validator, and start earning rewards - which you can later spend on your favorite hobby, creative courses, or simply add to savings. Staking is also available for other tokens like BNB, TRX, SUI, INJ, and more.
