The Solana Seeker phone follows the Saga, Solana\u2019s (SOL) first crypto-native phone, which initially saw slow sales but gained traction thanks to profitable token airdrops.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Seekers officially start shipping today!

A self-custodial hardware wallet built with Solflare, the Seed Vault, and a Genesis NFT that gives owners access to upcoming airdrops, content, and reward schemes are some of its key features.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>The phone\u2019s TEEPIN architecture decentralizes device-level security and app distribution, bypassing limitations found in widely used mobile platforms. The Seeker will also include SKR, a native incentive token for developers and users, though the complete tokenomics are still unknown.<\/p>\n<p>At a price point of $450 to $500, Solana Mobile is projected to earn at least $67.5 million in gross revenue for the company.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A play for developers and web3 mass adoption<\/h2>\n<p>With the Seeker, Solana Mobile is targeting developers disillusioned with high app store fees. As an alternative to the closed ecosystems of Google and Apple, the Android-based operating system permits distribution via APKs or progressive web apps.<\/p>\n<p>The phone is being released at a time when Solana\u2019s decentralized finance ecosystem is thriving, with over $9.8 billion in total value locked and a resurgence of interest in memecoins like BONK (BONK). The phone\u2019s affordability and airdrop potential, similar to Saga\u2019s BONK airdrops which exceeded the phone\u2019s cost, make it appealing to crypto enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solana Mobile has officially begun shipping its Seeker smartphones to users in more than 50 countries, marking the global rollout of its second-generation web3 device.\u00a0 The announcement was made on&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6797,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6796"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6796\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6798,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6796\/revisions\/6798"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
