APhone launches AppNest
APhone, a decentralized cloud-based smartphone developed by Aethir, is launching AppNest, a decentralized app store that combines traditional applications with blockchain-based solutions. AppNest is designed to be a flagship Web3-centric App Store to push the boundaries of innovation and all that is possible in the Web3 dApps space.
Announcing the development in an X post and through a medium blog post, Aphone states that crypto apps such as those from Binance, OKX, Phantom, MetaMask, Bitget Wallet, Uniswap and more will be listed on its AppNest. The DApp store is also expected to feature popular Web2 apps like Whatsapp, Instagram and ChatGPT.
We are proud to announce our newest product launch, designed to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the Web3 dApps space — AppNest. AppNest is our newly launched flagship Web3-centric app store. With traditional app stores stifling Web3 dApp innovation, AppNest is here to revolutionize the mobile and Web3 dApp sector, providing a direct route for developers to unleash their creativity.

AppNest is designed to be a fully featured Web3 app store filled with the latest and greatest dApps from the industry. The store features a selection of the most popular Web3 dApps alongside rapidly rising new GameFi projects, DeFi protocols, crypto wallets, and much more.

In the recent past, the relationship between app distribution platforms and developers has been a topic of conflict for several reasons, including excessive sales fees and competition restrictions that limit developers’ use of alternative distribution channels. For this reason, many startups focus on alternative solutions to address programmers’ demands, particularly in the Web3 space, where the lack of regulatory clarity could exacerbate the issue. On this, William Peckham, the chief business officer of APhone stated that centralized stores are not safe anymore.
“Centralized app stores like Google Play and iOS AppStore are seeing fraudulent crypto applications. This means the centralized stores are not safe anymore as they solely focus on making money from listing.”
Contrary to what is obtainable on centralized app stores, the creation of AppNest promises a free and open environment for developers, but not without due diligence. Developers will have to undergo a range of assessment criteria, such as team and product stage evaluations to prevent fraudulent applications. Peckham emphasized APhone's plan to ensure that dapps listed on AppNest are safe for users.
“We have a strict vetting process for Web3 applications. All the partners will have to go through a due diligence process.”

AppNest would be a curated dApp store that vets every dApp listed to keep users fully secured. It will also create an enabling environment for developers to release their creativity and offer users immediate access to top-tier Web3 dApps, all without the hassle of centralized approval processes.
Based on what it represents, AppNest seeks to sit at the forefront of the mobile Web3 revolution, as developers will be encouraged to build their dApps and instantly release them to thousands of mobile Web3 users without restricting blockchain functionality.
At the time of this report, only users connected to the LA or Netherlands servers can access AppNest. Accessibility is expected to go live on June 19th for Japan and Hong Kong!
