Solana's Seeker Phone Coming in Early August Along With SKR Token

Solana Labs' mobile team shared Wednesday that it plans to ship its Seeker phone starting Aug. 4, in addition to sharing new information about some of its infrastructure framework as well as a new token for its mobile users.

The news comes as the new iteration of Solana’s mobile has been in the works for months, with over 150,000 units so far, according to a press release. Seeker was introduced in September 2024 after the first model of the Solana mobile, Saga, failed, in part due to low sales figures.

The Solana Mobile team also said that in addition to the phone coming soon, it is launching the SKR token that will be integral to the Solana Mobile ecosystem. “SKR will power economy, incentives, and ownership across the ecosystem, while aligning users, developers, and hardware manufacturers towards growing the web3 mobile ecosystem,” the team wrote in the press release.

At the core of the network’s architecture is TEEPIN, the Trusted Execution Environment Platform Infrastructure Network, a decentralized framework consisting of three layers that will allow users, devices, and developers to interact in a secure and trustless environment.

"TEEPIN represents the next evolution in mobile — a framework where trust isn't granted by a central authority but verified through cryptography," said Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder and CEO of Solana Labs, in the press release.
