Solana Mobile started shipping its second generation crypto phone, seeker on August 4, 2025, making the most ambitious push of the project to bring chain-chain functionality in the mainstream handsets so far. The company publicly confirmed the rollout to users in 50+ counties and the preders who tip 150,000 units should be designed to run the product of the east-generation saga.
Timing is a coincidence with a wide interview with a wide interview with a phone by Kevin Folonier. “The mobile was like my child,” he said, pointing to his years in Qualcomm and the latent security stack allley inside the Modan Chipset.
Solana seeker phone – you have to know everyone
“As soon as I start taking Crypto seriously, my instinct was (that) is a complete stack for safe elements and a truck display embedded in these chips is developed as an account book to create a cryptographic signature …
He ended the purpose as both the user- and developer-centric: “There is an opportunity for users to make someone … and there is an opportunity to make some developers, which, you know, get rid of 30% fees. They also called the smartphone” Tricoder from Star Trek, “how people reach the Internet.
Sikar’s heart has a hardware-edged seed vault-developed, which separates private keys and seed phrases from the application layer in partnership with solflair-sati which is still in-app transaction. Yakovenco described it as a method for received behavior as re -applying a primary wallet seed phrase in APS: “Do not share your seed phrase between apps or walllets.
The seed vault keeps that seed phrase safe, but the wall can be shared between applications. “Sikar confirmed what shape on the saga, which is realizing the confirmation flow” more and more apple pay, “with a safe signal and reliable performance for signature. The device is now integrated with double-tap transactions and fingerprint entry.
It was clear that Yakoven was that the seeker is not about changing every iPhone Ovenite. Many corporate environment, he said, the workers were locked in the safety tooling of Apple. But he argued that there is a large addressable market outside the “iPhone land”, and he created a practical case for use as a second device: “a dedicated to hot-wallet activity, a dedicated, more secure” NFT cryptophone “, while long-term holding hardware lives on wallet and multi-SIG settings.” Cold storage is different … You should always have a clode and hot separation. ,
On the developer and distributor side, a seeker ship with Solna Dope Store 2.0, a site Solana mobile posts, is free from crypto-forever and policy friction that historically infections web 3 apps on mainstream shops. This device also introduces the Sikar ID -e -Unified Identity that tokens a wallet address, a .SKR user name, and a genesis token tokens for user profiles to smooth onboard and rewards. For devilopers, Solana is a way of reaching it to evidence-machinery and “high-value users”.
Commercial bets are clear. Yakovenko said that the project now looks at a way for a million tools from 150,000 preceding equipment -in their view, a standalone mobile ecosystem to maintain a mobile ecosystem -the candidate was an open challenge to get up to 10 million. “A step at a time.”
For reference, the first handset of Solan, The Saga eventually created ~ 20,000 units, which was struggling in a lotus amidst speculative demands around Inception and Memcoin Aerdops.
The strategic endgeam of Yakovenco is unclear: “to disrupt duality.” Not by Fiat, but by introducing a reliable option where on-chain signing, wallet ux, and distribution economics are indigenous rats. As he says, “A single participant-even a small one-market can change balance.”
At the press time, Sol traded at $ 169.
