Solana Mobile is developing a hardware integration kit aimed at embedding its mobile cryptocurrency ecosystem directly into Android devices by collaborating with key chipset industry leaders such as MediaTek, Trustonic, and FXTech.
The company announced plans to partner with MediaTek—one of the largest global suppliers of Android chipsets—and Trustonic, which specializes in trusted execution environments (TEE), alongside FXTech. This collaboration intends to adapt Solana Mobile’s software stack for seamless deployment across a wide range of Android smartphones.
This initiative addresses a critical challenge in expanding mobile crypto functionalities: by integrating at the chipset level rather than focusing on individual device models, Solana Mobile aims to accelerate adoption and distribution across millions of phones worldwide.
Strategic Alliance with MediaTek Enhances Market Penetration
MediaTek’s extensive market presence is central to this strategy. The chipmaker powers approximately 46% to 50% of all Android devices globally—translating into nearly two billion smartphones annually. Leveraging this scale allows Solana Mobile’s platform to reach an unprecedented number of users efficiently.
With support from Trustonic’s secure hardware environment, the plan involves creating prototype kits that integrate components from all partners. These prototypes will serve as proof-of-concept units paving the way for broader commercial availability on various Android handsets.
In parallel with prototype development, Solana Mobile is actively engaging in discussions with major smartphone manufacturers about incorporating its crypto features directly into upcoming device releases, signaling ongoing negotiations aimed at widespread adoption.
Mainstream Integration Advances as JPMorgan Trials Blockchain Settlement
On December 13th, 2025, Solana Mobile publicly revealed its efforts toward embedding their technology within over two billion Android phones through partnerships involving FXTech and MediaTek along with Trustonic’s TEE capabilities—a story we covered previously. The company emphasized simultaneous progress on prototype creation and talks with leading hardware producers for future rollouts.
A significant milestone was achieved when JPMorgan conducted its inaugural transaction on the Solana blockchain using their Unified Settlement platform powered by JPM Coin—a development highlighted earlier in our reports. This pilot involved Galaxy Digital and marked JPMorgan’s first institutional settlement utilizing a public blockchain outside their private infrastructure networks.
This breakthrough underscores Solana’s emerging prominence as a foundation for faster and more efficient financial operations via decentralized technologies tailored for large-scale institutional use cases worldwide.
