Solana Launches Web3 Saga Chapter 2 Phone Again, Buyers Will Be Given Crypto Airdrop Bonuses Again?

JAKARTA - Solana Mobile, known for its first blockchain-based mobile device, Saga, has again made a breakthrough with the launch of the Chapter 2 phone. This product is not only attracting attention because of its innovative features but also due to unexpected financial benefits for early bookings.

On Thursday, crypto traders who had ordered a pre-Solana Mobile Web3 Chapter 2 phone had a pleasant surprise. The value of the airdrop they received temporarily exceeded the price of the phone itself, which sold for 450 US dollars (around Rp. 7,292,250).

According to data from airdrop twoloot.com trackers, the value of digital assets distributed free of charge to buyers reached 480 US dollars (around Rp 7,778,400) when the token price peaked, giving them a profit of 30 US dollars (around Rp 486,150) even though the physical equipment has not been received.

In contrast to Saga's late request at first, Chapter 2 sold out within 24 hours of launching in January this year. Raj Gokal, co-founder of Solana, stated that the protocol achieved a seven-day sales target in just one day. The Android phone is still under development, with the first batch scheduled to arrive at its owner in the first half of 2024.

During pre-ordering, users are asked to connect Solana's address to qualify for a potential airdrop. In April, the airdrop started arriving. Two Solana, Cats in a Dogs World (MEW) and Maneki (MANEKI) meme coin projects, provided a waterdrop to buyers. MEW distributes 37,600 tokens, while MANEKI distributes about 5,200 tokens.

The values of MEW and MANEKI tokens peaked on April 24 and 25, with prices of US$0.0089 and US$0.269, respectively. During this period, the MEW value of each buyer was valued at US$334 (around Rp. 5,410,870) and US$129 (around Rp. 2,090,445), with a total of 463 US dollars (around Rp. 7,501,315). Another Solana meme coin project, Wuffi (WUFFI), also provided airdrops, distributed 114,000 tokens to mobile devices.

However, the volatility of the crypto market has affected the value of the meme coin. MEW, which was previously valued above 300 US dollars, is now at 220 US dollars (approximately IDR 3,565,100), while MANEKI is down to 124 US dollars (approximately IDR 2,009,420). However, the profits made from this airdrop have provided a clear example of the potential gains that could be obtained through active participation in the crypto ecosystem.
