Solana Mobile said it has started shipping its Seeker crypto smartphone, with “tens of thousands” of units now leaving warehouses for buyers in over 50 countries, according to an Aug. 4 update.
Seeker is the second-generation handset from Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of Solana Labs, following last year’s Saga device. The Android-based device comes pre-loaded with blockchain features like a hardware security solution dubbed Seed Vault key storage, a built-in Solana dApp Store, and an onchain Genesis Token that grants holders early access to new apps and SKR token rewards.
Solana’s dApp Store lists more than 100 applications, ranging from the community-led DEX aggregator ShapeShift to payments, DeFi, and gaming. The company has teased deeper integration with AI and DePIN services. Each handset generates a soulbound Genesis Token and future SKR rewards, echoing Saga’s “Chapter 2” airdrop that helped drive demand for the first model.
Solana Labs first announced the shipping date in May. Seeker’s rollout dovetails with Solana’s broader mobile strategy, which now counts social-media entrepreneur and X’s head of product Nikita Bier as an adviser.
Saga’s successor, Seeker, joins a small but expanding list of crypto-native smartphones aimed at mainstream users. Back in 2023, Saga entered the phone market at a whopping $1000 price tag. Slow sales eventually shaved the price down to $599 months later, and Solana introduced a BONK memecoin airdrop. The distribution sparked demand as the free tokens became worth more than the phone’s cost.
Other products, such as the HTC Exodus 1 in 2018, Sirin Labs’ Finney, and Pundi X’s BOB, have explored the crypto smartphone market. However, earlier entrants have paled in comparison to Solana’s efforts.
