New York time June 3, 2025 ------ The first walletless Layer 1 blockchain XION, dedicated to driving the mainstream adoption of Web3, officially launched its flagship mobile development toolkit ------ Dave today. This development suite is designed specifically for iOS and Android platforms, aiming to break the adoption barriers in the mobile sector of the crypto industry and make blockchain "completely invisible" in mobile applications.

Dave provides a complete set of native development tools for 18 million mobile developers worldwide, enabling them to seamlessly integrate the XION blockchain into native applications. Users can complete authentication and on-chain interactions through a process similar to OAuth without switching to an external wallet. This innovation significantly lowers the usage threshold for Web3 applications, truly achieving "using Web3 as easily as Web2."

"The mobile sector has long been a blind spot for the crypto industry, which is precisely the main entry point for most internet users," said XION founder Anthony Anzalone (Burnt Banksy). "With Dave, developers will be able to create Web3 applications that are as intuitive as Web2, which is an important step toward realizing our vision of Web3 adoption."

The launch comes at a time of significant changes in app store policies, such as the legal ruling on Apple's 30% app tax, opening a new window for the adoption of blockchain payment systems and digital assets on mobile. XION, with its native walletless architecture, is perfectly positioned at the forefront of this wave.

The launch of Dave also marks the upcoming developer hackathon competition centered on mobile, encouraging developers to use this new tool to build truly viable and user-friendly Web3 applications. The competition will last 6 to 8 weeks and is open to all Web2 and Web3 developers, with hopes of discovering new "industry unicorns."

Since the mainnet launch at the end of 2024, XION has rapidly expanded its ecosystem, collaborating with brands including Amazon, Uber, The North Face, and LEGO, attracting millions of users. The release of this mobile development toolkit will further solidify XION's leadership position in driving the mainstream adoption of Web3.

"We have always believed that true Web3 adoption should happen without users even realizing they are using blockchain," Burnt Banksy emphasized. "Dave is the embodiment of this concept, helping developers create a seamless and painless Web3 mobile experience. Since the web has fully moved to mobile, Web3 must follow suit."

The Dave toolkit is now officially launched, with future versions set to include enhanced features such as zkTLS and App Attestation, further improving XION's leading capabilities on mobile.
