Solana Mobile has officially begun global shipments of its second-generation Web3 smartphone, Seeker, reaching users in over 50 countries and regions as of August 4. The device is designed to offer a crypto-native mobile experience, with strong demand pushing pre-orders from the initial 20,000 units to more than 150,000.

A key feature of Seeker is its built-in hardware-level security for private keys. The phone integrates the Seed Vault Wallet, co-developed with Solflare, allowing users to store their private keys offline. This enables secure on-chain transactions with features like fingerprint authentication and double-tap confirmations.
To support the decentralized ethos of Web3, Seeker includes a decentralized app store, reducing dependence on centralized platforms and aligning with Solana’s broader vision for permissionless mobile infrastructure.
Solana Mobile is also planning to introduce a new ecosystem token, SKR, which will be used to reward developers and users participating in the Seeker ecosystem.
Market Impact and Outlook
News of the device’s global rollout was well received by the market, with Solana (SOL) rising 1.5% following the announcement. Analysts attribute this to growing optimism around Solana’s expanding utility and mobile-first strategy.
The Seeker targets untapped markets, with over 80% of users located outside the United States, reflecting Solana’s intention to reach emerging global demand for Web3 tools. With Seeker, Solana aims to disrupt the traditional smartphone market by embedding secure crypto infrastructure directly into consumer hardware.
Some market analysts speculate that, if Solana’s ecosystem projects succeed and the anticipated Solana ETF gains regulatory approval by October 2025, SOL’s price could potentially reach $1,000.
Despite its strong outlook, the company faces challenges ahead, particularly in scaling production and managing global logistics amid rapidly increasing demand.
