Solana Mobile Develops Hardware Integration Kit for 2B+ Android Devices

• Solana Mobile aims to reach Android at the chipset layer through MediaTek, Trustonic, and FXTech.
• JPMorgan and Galaxy tested Solana settlement via a JPM Coin-based Unified Settlement platform.

Solana Mobile said it is building a hardware integration kit designed to bring its mobile crypto stack to Android devices through partnerships with major players in the chipset supply chain. Solana Mobile said it will work with FXTech, plus MediaTek and MediaTek’s trusted execution environment partner Trustonic, to package the Solana Mobile software stack for broader Android deployment.

Solana Mobile framed the effort as a way to solve a key bottleneck in expanding mobile crypto features, arguing that reaching devices at the chipset layer can speed distribution across many phone models instead of relying on one device line at a time.

MediaTek partnership highlights reach and next steps

Solana Mobile pointed to MediaTek’s footprint as the main reason the partnership matters, saying the chipmaker ships about 46% to 50% of Android devices globally. The post described that scale as roughly 2 billion phones each year.

By integrating into MediaTek’s hardware environment with support from Trustonic, Solana Mobile said it plans to make its platform available on additional Android devices, starting with prototypes that combine the partners’ components into a deployable kit.

Solana Mobile said it is also in talks with large hardware manufacturers about bringing Solana features to their devices, adding that discussions and negotiations are running in parallel with prototype development.

Solana Pushes Into Mainstream Phones as JPMorgan Tests Solana Settlement

On Dec. 13, 2025, Solana Mobile announced partnerships to bring a hardware integration kit to chipmakers tied to more than 2 billion Android phones, as summarized in our earlier news story. The company said it will work with FXTech, as well as MediaTek and its TEE partner Trustonic, to package the Solana Mobile stack for wider Android distribution. At the same time, Solana Mobile said it is building prototypes and speaking with major hardware manufacturers about a broader rollout.

JPMorgan executed its first transaction on the Solana blockchain using its JPM Coin–based Unified Settlement platform, as highlighted in our previous article. The test involved Galaxy Digital and marked JPMorgan’s first use of a public blockchain outside its private networks for institutional settlement. The move highlighted Solana’s growing role in experiments around faster, on-chain financial infrastructure for large institutions.
