Solana’s Crypto and Web3 Smartphone ‘Saga’ Available to the General Public on May 8
Solana’s cryptocurrency and Web3 smartphone, Saga, will be available for purchase on Monday, May 8, 2023. Crafted by OSOM, the Android smartphone is designed specifically for Web3 applications and enables users to self-custody crypto assets using its Seed Vault feature.
Solana Smartphone Saga Ready for the Masses
Solana Labs, Inc., the company behind the Solana blockchain ecosystem, announced that the Saga smartphone will be available for purchase on May 8, with pre-orders shipping on April 20. As stated by Solana Mobile’s Twitter account, the team aims to “modernize how people interact with their digital assets for enhanced usability and increased security.” The smartphone comes with several pre-installed decentralized applications (dapps) and runs on the Android 13 operating system.
The phone includes a Seed Vault for securely storing crypto assets and offers 512 GB of storage. Its 6.67-inch OLED display pairs with a fingerprint scanner for extra security. The device charges using a USB-C cable and features a 50MP and 12MP ultrawide dual-camera system. The Seed Vault ensures protection of private keys through secure hardware and AES encryption, the device’s specifications note.
Powered by the “Solana Mobile Stack,” the ,000 Web3 smartphone also boasts a Solana Dapp Store that currently hosts 16 dapps covering NFTs, DAOs, staking, and more. Solana’s Saga is not the first crypto-centric phone; past examples include HTC’s Exodus, Samsung Galaxy S10’s crypto-integrated native apps, and Siren Labs’ 9 Finney blockchain smartphone.
Though both the Exodus and Finney concepts failed to gain traction, Samsung still offers the Samsung Blockchain Keystore SDK for Android systems. The Cupertino-based privacy-first tech company OSOM crafted the Solana Saga phone. Founded by ex-Essential employee Jason Keats, OSOM recently closed a Series A funding round partnering with Solana Mobile, raising million on September 9, 2022, according to Pitchbook data.

Through Azteco, BTC Available At 600K+ New Locations In Nigeria, Canada & The UK
Azteco is making big moves. Their vouchers are now available in 600K new locations in Nigeria, 6K in Canada, and 28K in the U.K. Their system was already one of the most accessible ways to buy bitcoin, and now, in those countries, Azteco is basically everywhere. Better yet, clients don’t need to provide neither bank nor credit card details.

“Go to your local store and buy a top up voucher just like the ones you’re used to. Enter your Voucher number to redeem,” buying bitcoin with Azteco is akin to adding credit to your cell phone. “There is nothing to learn or understand; it just WORKS,” the company tweeted. However, if you need a more detailed game plan, here it is:
-
Fill out the form here.
-
Receive an email with a barcode.
-
Go to a Paypoint, or other location as instructed.
-
Show the barcode and pay.
-
Receive your voucher instantly via email.
The headline here, though, is the number of locations Azteco recently onboarded.
600K Cash-In Locations In Nigeria
Recently, one of the main topics in bitcoin is adoption in the African country. “Nigeria is the number two leading country in Bitcoin adoption, and now, Nigerians have access to Azteco through 600,000 Cash-In locations. We expect an explosion in uptake.” Since the process is identical to acquiring phone credit, people already know how to do everything required.
We expect this uptake because Azteco is the most simple method of buying Bitcoin on the market, identical in process to the top-up's everyone on the African continent is used to with adding air-time to Mobile Phones. There is nothing to learn or understand; it just WORKS.

“Nigerians have total freedom to send and receive Bitcoin from anywhere instantly, reliably and privately,” Azteco promises.

Azteco Available At 6K Canada Post Locations
In the post office, “you can buy Loadhub and use it to get an Azteco Voucher. Now Bitcoin is within arms reach of 98% of all Canadian Citizens.” Pay with cash or bank transfer and rest assured that Azteco doesn’t “store any personal information longer than required to fulfill your order, after which we delete that information.”
Here are the very simple instruction for Canada Post’s clerks:
There are 6000 Canada Post locations in Canada. And at each one, you can buy Loadhub and use it to get an Azteco Voucher. Now Bitcoin is within arms reach of 98% of all Canadian Citizens. https://t.co/kFIv8dudVw pic.twitter.com/BZtc0hFWXX

The process is extraordinarily simple. Select the amount of Bitcoin you want to buy, and have your barcode emailed to any email address. Show your barcode at any Paypoint location and pay.

Conclusions And Solutions
In today’s world, governments proved that they would go after the finances of entire populations just for the fact that they disagree with their politics. A solution like Azteco is welcomed with open arms. It’s not exactly KYC-free, but close enough.

“Azteco doesn’t have user accounts, just like Pay as You Go SIM Cards. It’s “disposable Bitcoin” for small amounts,” the company states. And Nigerians, Canadians, and U.K. residents now have availability in physical locations that they usually go to. They can pay their electric bill, re-fund their phone, and get some bitcoin without breaking a sweat.
Will this affect the market at all? It’s not likely. Retail buyers are just a small percentage, and, as stated, Azteco is for small amounts. Will this benefit everyday bitcoin users in those countries? Absolutely.

CF Benchmarks and Open-Source Oracle Platform DIA Make Crypto Indexes Available On-Chain
DIA, the open source data platform for decentralised finance and the UK FCA-regulated crypto index provider CF Benchmarks announced today that they will make CF Benchmarks’ crypto index reference prices available via the DIA oracle suite.
With a total settlement volume of more than 0bn since its inception in 2017, UK-based CF Benchmarks Ltd is the world’s leading crypto index provider. Acquired in 2019 by the global digital asset exchange Kraken, CF Benchmarks provides reference rates that are tracked by ETFs and ETPs listed on exchanges around the globe, including Canada, Brazil, Switzerland and Germany. CF Benchmarks is best known for its CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, a price benchmark used by the CME Group to settle Bitcoin futures and options.
Access to Compliant ETH and SOL prices
In this new move, DIA will include CF Benchmarks’ reference prices as feeds in its data offering. As a start, reference prices for native tokens of the Layer 1 blockchains Ethereum and Solana will be provided as oracles. Oracles are smart-contract-readable data streams that enable applications running on the blockchain to ingest and read data from outside their own ecosystems.
ETH and SOL reference prices will be provided to both Ethereum-native and Solana-native developers. The availability of institutional-grade reference prices from a benchmark regulation compliant and Big 4 audited provider will enable secure development of new financial products and services underpinned by resilient and robust methodologies.
Bridging Traditional and Digital Asset Markets
Notwithstanding its nascency and volatility relative to more developed traditional asset markets, the digital asset ecosystem has shown staggering growth and attracted significant interest from retail and institutional investors alike. With an estimated market capitalisation of trillion, the digital asset market falls far behind its legacy counterpart. Products like the reference prices provided by CF Benchmarks are a crucial building block for enabling safe institutional access and fostering regulated rails to this new asset class.
“The emergence of decentralised finance poses a challenge and opportunity for investors and regulators alike”, said Michael Weber, DIA’s Founder. “Teams like CF Benchmarks are at the forefront of creating a safe and secure environment for investors to allocate their capital. This is crucial for the development and the maturing of the ecosystem and we are excited to be a part of that journey.”
“CF Benchmarks is continually looking for ways to improve the availability of robust, reliable cryptocurrency pricing data, for users of digital asset ecosystems, as well as institutional and individual investors”, said CF Benchmarks CEO Sui Chung. “That is why we are proud to partner with DIA, one of the most comprehensive and fastest-growing oracle platforms, with a user base deeply embedded in the blockchain development community. We are confident that this partnership will be a significant step towards enabling the high-integrity pricing that will be critical for mass adoption of DeFi, Web3 and beyond.”

The JasmyCoin listing on the marketplace adds to the fast-growing Sakura ecosystem which has witnessed astronomical growth since its launch.
JasmyCoin is a native cryptocurrency created by Jasmy Incorporated, which was established in 2016 by a former CEO of Sony Corporation. This token is distributed when users provide their information to the Jasmy IoT platform. It is expected that they can be used for various purposes. This collaboration is aimed at broadening and expanding the ecosystem of the parties involved in it.
Sakura Leads NFT Adoption In Japan With Several Collaborations
The Japan-based NFT marketplace Sakura is a marketplace for the buying and selling of rare, unique NFTs. Designed mostly for renowned people, celebrities, and upcoming creators who want to share their images, videos, and other items with the globe. Sakura has positioned itself as a branded platform to spearhead the acceptance and growth of non-fungible tokens in Japan.
Sakura NFT is bringing tokenized JasmyCoin to the fast-growing Jasmy ecosystem as Jasmy aims to realize “data democratization,” by decentralizing the management of personal data through the “Jasmy IoT Platform,” and the issuance of proof of value exchange and payment for various services. Jasmy services are designed to be used by many people for various purposes.
Decentralized cloud computing infrastructure XRI, is working on the development of the SAKURA NFT Platform, XRI is a project that intends to deliver decentralized infrastructure to individual Internet users in order to act as the nexus between blockchain technology and the world’s data.
Sakura has also formed an alliance with Ai Miura, the first Japanese woman to win a Formula 3 race. She also took home first place in the FIA Solar Car Race Suzuka, the KYOJO Cup, and the VCR Vita. Sakura’s most recent partnership, with JasmyCoin, joins a long list of past collaborations.
The Sakura NFT platform differs from other existing NFT platforms in that it incorporates the gold standard concept into the creation of its one-of-a-kind, uncommon NFTs. Sakura is attempting to alter the trajectory of how NFTs are valued. To this end, Sakura has collaborated with Arca Degussa to establish the world’s first gold distribution system in order to make this a reality.
Even though NFTs are going mainstream, they are still inextricably linked to the crypto ecosystem and hence subject to market volatility. The innovation brought by Sakura will introduce gold to NFT thereby stabilizing the price flow of Sakura NFTs. This could ultimately be a game-changer for the entire NFT sector and a gateway for further innovations. Sakura is seizing every opportunity to set itself for wider mainstream adoption.
