GAIA Opens Pre-Sale for Decentralized AI Smartphone
GAIA, a decentralized AI startup, has launched a limited pre-sale for a new AI smartphone running on Galaxy S25 Edge hardware. Only 7,000 units are available. The phone features a software layer for decentralized AI inference and privacy-first tools. Early buyers earn network rewards in GAIA tokens, secure a pre-loaded web3 domain, and benefit from staking-based incentives. The software stack includes the Gaia AI Platform, local LLM runtime, voice-to-agent interface, and a custom Agent Launcher. GAIA offers developer access to its node infrastructure on GitHub and plans an open marketplace for AI agents. Priced at $1,399, the AI smartphone ships later this year.

Hardware launches for niche crypto projects like GAIA often have limited direct market impact. While the AI smartphone’s unique on-device decentralized AI and GAIA token incentives may boost token demand short-term, the limited 7,000-unit pre-sale and $1,399 price point constrain broader adoption. Similar ventures, such as blockchain-enabled smartphones, have historically produced modest token price movements. Traders may see minor fluctuations in GAIA token value during pre-sale but the overall crypto market is unlikely to shift significantly. Long-term market influence will depend on network growth and user adoption beyond early adopters.
