The Solana Saga “Cooked” Phone Inspires 3,333 NFTs
An influencer named Bangerz, who is the CEO of NFT launchpad 3.land, conducted an experiment where she microwaved her Solana Saga phone for 33 seconds. The results were disastrous, as the device came out smoking and dripping liquid, with the screen detached from the hardware. This event inspired Bangerz to create 3,333 free Solana NFTs to commemorate the destroyed phone.
Solana Phone NFTs Available in the Secondary Market
Announcements about the new Solana phone NFTs cooked in the microwave were made on the 3.land tweet account. However, within 24 hours, all the Saga NFT Microwaves were already minted and resold on various secondary markets. Some of them fetched prices as high as $25 in SOL before the floor price dropped.
The Arrival of the Second Crypto Smartphone
Solana mobile recently revealed plans to launch a second crypto smartphone that will succeed Saga. In Bangerz’s video, she apologizes to Solana mobile and expresses her intention to acquire the second version of the phone in 2025. The new smartphone will have similar features to Saga, including a crypto-wallet and a customized Android software. However, it will have a lower launch price and new hardware.
Existing Solana Saga Phones Spark Secondary Market Success
The original Solana Saga phones have already gained popularity in the secondary market, with sales reaching up to $5000 on eBay in December 2023.
