Jambo and Bondex partner to launch $99 blockchain-powered smartphones, aiming to change professional networking globally.
The collaboration between Jambo and Bondex introduces a blockchain-based solution for $99 Jambo smartphones, targeting professional networking for millions.
Jambo, a leading builder of web3 mobile infrastructure to unlock the digital economy in emerging markets, today announced its partnership with Bondex, a next-generation on-chain professional network dubbed the “LinkedIn Killer,” to enable seamless integration of web3 applications directly with the powerful JamboPhones, now available in over 120 countries.
This strategic collaboration brings together Jambo’s expertise in mobile technology tailored for emerging economies with Bondex’s unique platform, which includes its job portal and mobile app for users to build trust and unlock sustainable professional opportunities. The partnership aims to facilitate developing countries’ access to the world’s financial market.
Emerging markets face unique challenges that require innovative solutions for real problems. In regions like Africa, where 57% of the ~1.5bn population remains unbanked and 50% without access to a smartphone, the collaboration between Jambo and Bondex is designed to address these issues by providing secure, user-friendly access to an on-chain professional network focused on talent, reputation, and economic opportunities.
This initiative is expected to empower millions by facilitating enhanced connectivity, improved security, and streamlined access to digital financial services. Additionally, Bondex will be pre-installed on the JamboPhone, complemented by quests and educational programs to help users familiarize themselves with the new technology while earning rewards.
“In many regions across emerging markets, an entire family shares one smartphone, and a family member can only use it for a few hours a day. Owning a JamboPhone opens up new possibilities–it’s like discovering a new life,” said Sam Sungmin Kang, the first employee at Jambo Phone, at Jambo.
“By embedding Bondex directly within the Jambo ecosystem, we’re making it easier than ever for users in emerging markets to safely and efficiently engage with the digital economy. The integration of Bondex into the JamboPhone is a game-changer for on-chain professional and social networks, opening new pathways to economic participation that were previously unimaginable.”
The integration will feature a pre-installed Bondex app on all JamboPhones globally, allowing users to unlock new economic opportunities by creating verifiable reputations or profiles on the blockchain. The initiative also plans to include educational programs to assist new users in navigating the web3 space safely and becoming savvy digital citizens.
The Jambo and Bondex collaboration not only enhances access to digital technologies but also paves the way for financial inclusion in regions where traditional banking has been out of reach. With 50% of the population in Southeast Asia and 26% in Latin America similarly unbanked, integrating Bondex web3 technology into Jambo smartphones allows users in underserved communities to access a suite of financial services with just a few taps. This initiative directly targets the gap in financial services, aiming to bring the unbanked into the economic fold and ignite economic growth from the ground up.
“This partnership aims to significantly enhance access to web3 and empower millions of users from developing countries to create meaningful professional connections and unlock the vast economic potential embedded within the Web3 space,” commented Ignacio Palomera, Co-founder and CEO of Bondex.
