Hello Gaia Protocol Community,
We would like to share an important update regarding the release of the Valhalla iOS app, our holder-exclusive messenger.
iOS App Review Result
Since July 30, 2025, we have been in continuous communication with Apple, making improvements and adjustments to meet their requirements for App Store approval. However, after several review rounds, Apple issued a final decision that NFT-based chat services cannot be distributed through the App Store under Policy 3.1.5 Business: Payments - Cryptocurrencies.
As a result, releasing the Valhalla iOS app via the App Store is not possible.
Alternative: PWA Installation Guide
Although App Store distribution is not allowed, we have prepared an alternative solution. Through PWA (Progressive Web App), you can use Valhalla on iPhone with an experience almost identical to a native app. Simply add Valhalla to your home screen via Safari.
How to Install
- Open valhalla.gaia.cc in Safari on your iPhone.
- Tap the Share icon at the bottom center.
- Select “Add to Home Screen” from the menu.
- Confirm the name and tap Add.
Once added, you can launch Valhalla directly from your home screen like any other app.
Future Plans
We will continue to enhance Valhalla’s functionality and optimize the PWA experience to provide stable and seamless service on iOS devices. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve.

Thank you, Gaia Protocol Team
