Solana Mobile has reached a milestone by entering the shipping stages of its second hardware development, the Seeker phone. The company announced that it will begin distribution to buyers on August 4.

The Seeker, which was first known as Chapter Two during its pre-order stages, was announced in January 2024 as the successor of Saga, Solana Mobile’s first phone, launched in April 2023. At least 100k phones were ordered, with more than half being paid for with stablecoins.

With this move, the company is taking advantage of its new position, also debuting its Trusted Execution Environment Platform Infrastructure Network (TEEPIN) architecture to defy the current mobile duopoly. The platform aims to build an open challenger to the current ecosystems managed by gatekeepers, who can control the monetization and apps permissioned to reach each mobile phone.

Emmett Hollyer, General Manager of Solana Mobile, referred to the goals of this new proposal. On social media, he stated:

Current mobile ecosystems weren’t built for the web3 economy. Users have a clunky experience and limited access to real innovation. Devs are stuck playing by arbitrary rules and pay exorbitant fees.

TEEPIN encompasses three different layers: hardware, distribution, and verification, allowing decentralized apps to reach users worldwide without excessive restrictions or fees. Solana Mobile also announced SKR, the token that will enable economic transactions in this new ecosystem.

Hollyer also stated that the company will decentralize the control of its dapp ecosystem, delivering control and curation to users. In the same way, he revealed that they plan to keep growing and expand access to their platform to other devices, stressing that they are “excited” to work with OEMs to implement their software on more platforms.
