It’s been almost four months since the layer-1 blockchain Solana announced its web3-focused smartphone Saga and as the phone approaches its official release date, the plan has shifted suddenly. Since Solana is looking to approach the launch differently, its ultimate goal isn’t to sell 10 million units,” Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, said onstage at Disrupt 2022. “We would be very happy with 25,000 to 50,000 units sold in the next year.

Yakovenko also said the idea of true digital ownership means the digital items have to be treated like physical ones, and this isn’t something Apple or Google are built around.
