- The alternative DApp store tries to accommodate Web3 fans and promotes due diligence while listing apps.
Conflicts have arisen in the relationship between app distribution platforms and developers for a number of reasons, such as exorbitant sales prices and antitrust laws that restrict creators’ access to alternate distribution channels.
Due to these difficulties, a lot of businesses are concentrating on ways to meet the needs of programmers, especially in the Web3 arena where unclear regulations may make matters worse.
There are fake cryptocurrency apps available on centralized app marketplaces like Google Play and the iOS App Store. Chief business officer of APhone, a decentralized cloud-based smartphone, William Peckham, noted that this means the centralized stores are no longer safe because they only concentrate on collecting money from listing.
Aethir’s phone, APhone, is introducing a decentralized app store that blends conventional apps with blockchain-powered solutions. The company states that its AppNest, which also includes well-known Web2 apps like Whatsapp, Instagram, and ChatGPT, will sell cryptocurrency apps from OKX, Phantom, Bitget Wallet, Uniswap, and other companies.
AppNest offers developers a free and open environment, but only after careful consideration. Developers will be subject to a variety of assessment criteria, including team and product stage evaluations, in order to stop fraudulent applications. Web3 apps must go through a rigorous screening procedure. According to Peckham, all partners will need to go through a due diligence procedure.
Previous instances of similar applications exist. For Android apps, Aptoide, for example, provides an open-source platform. It does not focus on decentralized apps explicitly, but it does host a variety of Web3 applications, including widgets linked to Bitcoin and crypto wallets.
The APhone team is putting its money on features for Web3 aficionados in an effort to differentiate itself from the competition. These features include token prizes for writing app reviews, beta testing, and daily usage in addition to advice for developers and content creators on how to engage the community or create useful content.
In order to enable lending, borrowing, and interest earning for holders of its native token, the platform also intends to link with decentralized finance systems. According to Peckham, we are providing users with a full ‘outside the box’ experience, going beyond the traditional hardware requirements and reach of traditional gatekeepers.
The Helium protocol is one example of a company that combines decentralized infrastructure with onchain products. It is based on a decentralized wireless network and creates a peer-to-peer network using gadgets called Helium Hotspots, which function similarly to miniature cell towers.
