The Mobile Development Kit, ‘Dave,’ aims to break crypto's adoption barrier through native mobile apps that make blockchain invisible, enabling 18M mobile developers to meet billions of users where they are.

New York City, June 3rd, 2025 -- XION, the first walletless Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for mainstream adoption, today announced the launch of Dave, the premier Mobile Development Kit that offers a comprehensive suite of mobile development tools. Designed to revolutionize how developers create Web3-powered mobile applications, the release of Dave is a significant milestone in XION's mission to make blockchain technology disappear into the background while enabling frictionless user experiences across all platforms.

Dave provides developers with native iOS and Android libraries that seamlessly integrate XION's blockchain platform, allowing users to authenticate and interact within mobile applications using familiar OAuth-like flows without being redirected to external wallet apps. Built directly into the XION protocol, it inherits all of its abstractions. This breakthrough removes the most significant barriers to mainstream crypto adoption on mobile devices, which represent the primary touchpoint for billions of global users.

"Mobile has remained largely untapped for crypto adoption, despite being the dominant interface for most internet users worldwide," said XION’s founder Anthony Anzalone, who also goes by Burnt Banksy. "With Dave, we're empowering developers to create mobile-first Web3 applications that feel as intuitive as the Web2 apps people use every day. This is a critical step in our mission to make Web3 accessible to everyone, everywhere."

The timing of this launch is fortuitously aligned with recent regulatory changes affecting mobile app stores, including the landmark 30% Apple app store tax ruling. These developments have created new opportunities for alternative payment systems and digital asset interactions on mobile platforms, which XION is uniquely positioned to address through its walletless blockchain technology.

This release comes just ahead of XION's upcoming mobile-focused startup competition, which will challenge developers to create innovative applications using the new tools. The competition will showcase the potential of XION's technology to transform various industries through blockchain-powered mobile experiences.

Since its mainnet launch in late 2024, XION has rapidly expanded its ecosystem with implementations across major brands like Amazon, Uber, North Face, Lego and millions of users. The launch of a mobile development kit further strengthens XION's position as the leading infrastructure for mainstream Web3 adoption.

"We've always maintained that true Web3 adoption will come when users don't even realize they're using blockchain technology," added Anzalone. "This launch puts that philosophy into practice, enabling developers to build applications that leverage the benefits of blockchain without any of the traditional friction points. The web is mobile, and with Dave, Web3 is finally ready to follow."

The toolkit is available immediately, with additional features including zkTLS integrations and attestation frameworks planned for future releases as part of XION's expanding mobile strategy.
