Overview

  • Solana Mobile began shipping tens of thousands of Seeker units on August 4 to customers in over 50 countries, fulfilling more than 150,000 preorders that outpace its first-generation Saga.
  • Priced at $450–$500, the Seeker is projected to generate at least $67.5 million in revenue for Solana Labs’ mobile division.
  • The device features a hardware-anchored Seed Vault developed with Solflare to isolate private keys and seed phrases from the application layer while allowing in-app transactions.
  • Out of the box, the Seeker supports more than 2,500 decentralized apps via the Solana dApp Store 2.0, enabling direct access to NFTs, DeFi platforms and blockchain games without mainstream app store fees.
  • The start of global shipments helped push Solana’s native token back above $170, reflecting renewed investor confidence in its mobile-first blockchain ecosystem.
