Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of Solana Labs, announced the release of its new Web3-focused smartphone, the Seeker, scheduled for August 4, 2025. The Seeker phone will integrate the newly introduced SKR token, which will serve as the native asset powering the financial framework of Solana Mobile’s ecosystem.
The Seeker phone represents a significant step forward in Solana’s expansion into the mobile Web3 space. The device and its associated SKR token aim to enhance user engagement, developer participation, and ecosystem growth by promoting incentives and ownership. Over 150,000 units are reportedly in production, highlighting strong preparation for launch.
In addition to hardware, Solana Mobile is deploying the Trusted Execution Environment Platform Infrastructure Network (TEEPIN), a decentralized framework featuring three layers designed to allow secure, cryptographically verified interactions among users, devices, and developers without relying on a central authority.
The launch follows the earlier Saga phone release, which experienced limited sales, but community engagement improved after that launch, including airdrop activity. Similar patterns of increased adoption and activity are anticipated with Seeker and SKR.
Market watchers, including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, noted concerns about network congestion tied to Solana Mobile’s mobile ecosystem, although the SKR token and its ecosystem integration are expected to drive Solana (SOL) network utility and adoption.
