INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Key takeaways:Solana now offers a mobile-first developer toolkit with wallet adapters, transaction helpers and templates.Developers can use
React Native to build iOS and Android apps simultaneously.Deep-link wallet connections (e.g., Phantom, Backpack) eliminate the need for
custom back-end integrations.Apps can fetch balances, NFTs and even trigger swaps or mints using Solana RPC directly.Open-source tools like
Solana Mobile App Kit allow zero-infrastructure deployments.Building decentralized applications (DApps) used to be complex, especially for
mobile DApp for iOS and Android in under 15 minutes, without writing a single line of back-end code.This guide breaks down how to build a
mobile DApp that connects to Solana wallets, displays assets, enables basic DeFi actions like token swaps and runs entirely onchain
apps in 2025?Solana has seen massive developer growth, especially in consumer and DeFi apps
With mobile-first usage on the rise, builders now demand toolkits that streamline wallet connectivity, UI rendering and onchain
Developers can focus on features, UX and shipping fast
The Solana Mobile App Kit and React Native integration together provide:Prebuilt wallet adapters and deep link support.Mobile-ready
components for NFTs, balances and tokens.Seamless support for iOS and Android with a single codebase.Whether you are building an NFT

Kit: Provides app templates for NFTs, tokens and DeFi use cases.@solana/web3.js: Interfaces with Solana RPC endpoints and handles
infrastructure, back-end databases or user authentication flows; the wallet takes care of it.Did you know: Solana App?Kit, developed by the
Send ecosystem, offers one-command mobile app scaffolding with deep wallet integration, swaps, NFT minting, AI components and over 18
Set up your mobile app projectStart by initializing a new React Native app
cross-platform iOS and Android app with preconfigured Solana wallet support, RPC tools and basic UI components.Step 2: Integrate wallet
login using deep linksInstead of building a login system, integrate with wallets like Phantom and Backpack via deep links using the Wallet
This allows users to connect and sign transactions securely via deep links without any back end.Besides deep linking, Solana also offers a
native Mobile Wallet Adapter (MWA) protocol with React Native libraries (@solana-mobile/mobile-wallet-adapter-protocol-web3js) for direct
including SOL balance, SPL tokens and NFTs
All of this happens on the client side by connecting directly to a Solana RPC endpoint.Step 4: Trigger onchain actions like swaps or
mintsSolana AppKit comes with support for DeFi and NFT protocols like Jupiter, Metaplex and Pump.fun
You can easily let users swap tokens, mint NFTs or launch memecoins via built-in modules that submit transactions through the wallet
The Solana Ecosystem Native Development (SEND) Kit offers modular app templates, all designed for rapid customization and deployment, such
as:These templates let developers focus on design and UX while handling blockchain logic under the hood.Benefits of no-back-end mobile
The traditional approach relied on centralized services for critical functions like authentication, token metadata and session management
old way of building Web3 apps:This shift in architecture has several advantages:Faster shipping cycles: With no back end to build, deploy or
maintain, teams can launch prototypes or production apps in days, not months.Lower maintenance overhead: No servers means no infrastructure
to patch, monitor or scale.Better UX by design: Since wallet login replaces clunky sign-up flows, users can be onboarded with just a
tap.Improved security: Backend breaches are off the table
Wallets like Phantom and Backpack ensure private keys and session data never touch centralized servers.True decentralization: Every
mobile-native, no-back-end approach is especially powerful for DApps where fast finality and low fees are a prime requirement.Did you know:
iOS and Android, all without needing separate codebases or back-end infrastructure.How to scale your Solana mobile appOnce your MVP is
ready, you can scale your app by:Integrating Solana Pay for in-person or QR-based payments.Adding push notifications for transaction
events.Supporting Face ID or biometric security.Using open analytics tools for onchain engagement tracking.Expanding support for additional
memecoins to NFT mints and DeFi tools, mobile-first blockchain experiences are becoming the norm
Every investment and trading move involves risk, and readers should conduct their own research when making a decision.
