Valora Unveils Mobile Stack as the New Web3 Springboard for Both iOS and Android Platforms

Valora, the peer-to-peer payments company, recently introduced “Mobile Stack,” an innovative launchpad for Web3 DApps on mobile devices, emphasizing decentralization, permissionlessness, and openness.


As reported by Cointelegraph, Valora aims to address the scarcity of mobile-native Web3 apps, noting that only 8 out of the top 100 on DApp Radar cater to mobile users. Their objective is to simplify the development process for Web3 developers, offering a user-friendly platform that prioritizes mobile-first DApps.
While apps like Robinhood Crypto and Coinbase have thrived among mobile users, the broader DeFi and Web3 communities predominantly operate on desktops and laptops. Valora attributes this to the perceived complexities of developing mobile-first applications alongside PC/Linux-focused solutions.
Current DApp User Experience Challenges
Valora criticizes the existing DApp user experience as “cumbersome,” primarily due to the need for users to integrate wallet apps with browsers or desktop applications to interact with Web3 apps effectively.
Mobile Stack’s Innovative Approach
According to Valora’s press release, Mobile Stack serves as a flexible framework equipped with essential protocols and features for Web3 functionality. Developers can readily customize the placeholder app to suit their DApp’s specific requirements using the necessary protocols.
Among the initial DApps launching on Mobile Stack are Stake Capital’s savings and earnings app, “Troopo,” and Vana’s “ChatGPT Data DAO,” designed to empower users to monetize their data.
Versatile Applications of Mobile Stack
Valora highlights various potential use cases for Mobile Stack, such as facilitating borderless peer-to-peer payments, streamlining DeFi service onboarding, supporting universal basic income initiatives in emerging markets, and fostering “learn-to-earn” initiatives in collaboration with cryptocurrency exchanges.
Valora’s Background and Growth
Established in 2020 as a decentralized wallet on the Celo network, Valora separated from Celo following a $20 million funding round led by A16z in 2021. This move underscored its evolution into an independent entity focused on pioneering mobile-centric solutions within the Web3 ecosystem.
Related Developments
According to DappRadar, Web3 users reached a record 10 million in Q2, reflecting the increasing adoption and relevance of decentralized applications across global markets.
