Solana’s Second-Generation Phone Seeker Expected to Ship in August: Launching SKR Tokens and TEEPIN Framework with a Focus on User Co-Creation
Solana Mobile Announces Official Shipment of Second Web3 Phone “Seeker” on August 4
Solana Mobile has announced that it will officially ship its second Web3 phone, “Seeker,” on August 4, while launching a decentralized architecture called TEEPIN along with its native token SKR. The company aims to create a mobile device ecosystem owned by the community. It seeks to disrupt the traditional mobile phone business model, transforming users from mere consumers of products into co-owners and contributors to the platform.
Seeker Shipping This Summer, Solana Mobile Gains Nearly $70 Million
Solana Mobile tweeted yesterday that its second crypto phone, “Seeker,” will officially start shipping on August 4 this summer. As the successor to Saga, Seeker opened for two phases of pre-orders last September, including an early bird founder’s price of $450 per unit and an early user price of $500 per unit.
1/ We’re excited to announce that Seekers start shipping on August 4th, 2025.
But that’s not all…
Today, we’re revealing the evolution of web3 mobile, and the next phase for Solana Mobile
According to reports, the total pre-order quantity for Seeker has surpassed 150,000 units across 57 countries. Based on a conservative estimate of $450 per unit, Solana Mobile has generated at least $67.5 million from pre-sales, indicating market anticipation and optimism for Solana Mobile’s exploration of a new business model combining “hardware + blockchain.”
Previous reports indicated that Seeker retains the foundational features of Saga while adding hardware-level mnemonic phrase storage (Seed Vault), Seeker ID, and an upgraded version of the Solana dApp Store, enhancing user experience and strengthening on-chain application integration.
TEEPIN Architecture: Establishing a New Standard for Trustless Collaboration
Another significant release is the new decentralized architecture “TEEPIN,” or “Trusted Execution Environment Network.” This infrastructure employs a three-layer design: hardware layer, platform layer, and network layer, aimed at enabling developers, users, and hardware manufacturers to collaborate without the need for trust.
Solana Labs co-founder and CEO Anatoly Yakovenko stated:
“TEEPIN represents the next evolution of mobile devices, where trust will no longer be granted by issuing parties or central entities, but rather verified through cryptography.”
He emphasized, “This architecture will leverage the security hardware of existing smartphones and achieve true open innovation and platform sovereignty through blockchain governance mechanisms.”
SKR Token: Breaking Traditional Mobile Business Models with Incentives
To truly realize economic incentives and ownership redistribution in the mobile device ecosystem, Solana Mobile also announced the upcoming launch of its native token SKR. Emmett Hollyer, General Manager of Solana Mobile, stated that this token will be directly allocated to developers and users as a reward for their participation and contributions to the platform:
“SKR redefines the economic model of mobile platforms, where users, developers, and manufacturers will no longer be passive consumers, but rather active participants in co-owning this decentralized infrastructure.”
Looking Ahead: Solana Mobile’s Platform Vision
From the market testing of Saga to the official formation of Seeker and TEEPIN, Solana Mobile is building a Web3 mobile device ecosystem that integrates security, openness, and decentralization. The advancement of the SKR token and TEEPIN architecture also paves the way for more hardware manufacturers and developers to participate. Facing a mobile device market dominated by Apple, Solana Mobile attempts to carve out a differentiated path combining “community ownership” with “on-chain governance.” If it gains widespread support from developers and users, it may reshape the power structure of the mobile phone industry.
