Solana brings crypto integration to Android phones with MediaTek processors
- Solana Mobile is partnering with chip maker MediaTek to integrate its crypto stack into smartphones.
- It’s about Android devices with MediaTek processors, i.e. almost half of the smartphone market.
Die notice The partnership took place at Breakpoint 2025, where Solana Mobile also announced collaborations with FX Tech and Trustonic to bundle the entire Solana Mobile stack for use at the chipset level. This achieves greater hardware proximity, which automatically leads to higher processing speeds.

More hardware proximity for crypto app
It’s not about specific phone models, but about integrating crypto-native features into the hardware layer of the Android operating system.
MediaTek is one of the market leaders in the industry with a share of almost 50 percent of Android smartphones and over two billion smartphones per year. Due to its close proximity to the chipset level, Solana Mobile is able to retrofit the Android smartphones in question without individual market launches.
Trustonic’s secure environment ensures the protection of private keys and signature transactions in hardware-protected areas. Solana Mobile is currently developing corresponding prototypes.
Meanwhile, the company is also negotiating with other hardware manufacturers to supply devices that are compatible with the Solana Mobile Stack out of the box.
This makes mobile cryptography a native system feature and is no longer an optional add-on at the app level.
Solana’s mobile first crypto strategy
Additional information was provided in the Tech Talk session named Solana Mobile / Solana Labs, which was presented by Mike Mobiledev.skr.
Further information has been included in a Tech Talk Session titled “Solana Mobile / Solana Labs” presented by Mike Mobiledev.skr.
It emphasized the need to establish a mobile-first crypto infrastructure, as 63% of all internet traffic and 73% of all e-commerce pass through mobile devices, but most crypto products are aimed at desktop computers.
Solana Mobile focuses on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), the Google operating system that is not affected by restrictive app store policies.
Meanwhile, Seeker launched the “Seed Vault,” an integrated hardware wallet that can request app-integrated transaction signatures, reducing friction and increasing security.
But the Solana dApp Store has more than 100,000 active devices, 200 apps, one million installs and an activity volume of over $100 million.
Solana Mobile has a good chance of bringing cryptocurrencies to half of all smartphones worldwide through its expansion of MediaTek Android devices.
