Solana Mobile has started shipping its second-generation crypto smartphone, the Seeker, with "tens of thousands" of units now on their way to buyers in over 50 countries.
What’s the Scoop?
- Global Rollout Begins: Solana began shipping Seeker devices on August 4, sending out pre-orders across more than 50 countries.
- Web3 Features Built In: The phone comes with Seed Vault key storage, a built-in Solana dApp Store, and a soul-bound onchain Genesis Token that unlocks early access to apps and future SKR token rewards.
- dApp Store Growth: Solana’s dApp Store now lists over 100 applications across DeFi, gaming, payments, and more, including ShapeShift and other community-driven tools.
- Expanded Ecosystem Vision: Solana has teased integration with AI and DePIN services. The Seeker's launch ties into a wider mobile strategy that includes new adviser Nikita Bier, head of product at X.
- Saga Lessons Learned: The original Saga launched at $1,000 but saw slow sales. A later
BONK airdrop boosted demand, helping shape the Seeker’s more reward-focused rollout.
