Solana’s Phantom wallet will soon launch its iOS app. In fact, the team initially planned to sell 7,000 NFTs and provide owners with early access to the release. Following the above announcement, Solana received a lot of criticism from users.
After which, Phantom scrapped its NFT launch.
Solana’s Phantom Wallet: What’s the whole matter?
Yesterday, Solana wallet announced their NFT drop featuring 7,000 collectables. This drop was part of a collaboration with the Solana NFT marketplace, Magic Eden.
Originally, the plan was to conduct an NFT Dutch auction starting at the price of 8 SOL, with a decrease of 0.25 SOL every 10 minutes until all NFTs sold out.
Subsequently, users shared their frustration towards the whole scenario.
Twitter user 0xMav wrote “web2: get paid to test apps web3: pay to test apps”. By the same token, other users addressed that the NFT release might go against Apple’s App store rule, which states beta products “cannot be distributed to testers in exchange for compensation of any kind, including as a reward for crowdsource funding.
Phantom also mentioned it “never meant to alienate anyone and never intended on profiting from the auction in any way.”
At last, Solana’s wallet Phantom decided to change its approach. Given that, Phantom distributed 1,000 free invites which ran out within minutes. However, the remaining invites will be sent out throughout this week. So keep an eye out!
That’s not it; Phantom also pledged to donate $200,009 worth of SOL to a tech-focused non-profit, “Girls Who Code” Despite the backlash, Phantom has been performing well with over 1.8 million monthly active users.
Solana will launch Phantom’s iOS app properly in early 2022. To know more about the free invites, follow Phantom’ Twitter here.
