Solana Seeker Phone Hits 150,000 Pre-Orders, Projects $67.5 million Revenue

- Second-generation Seeker smartphone now shipping to over 50 countries. - Pre-orders reach 150,000, projecting gross revenue of $67.5 million. Solana Mobile, the technology division of the Solana ecosystem, has launched its second-generation Seeker smartphone. On August 4, 2025, Cointelegraph reported that the company has started shipping the device to more than 50 countries, having secured over 150,000 pre-orders that project at least $67.5 million in gross revenue. The Seeker smartphone introduces significant upgrades over its predecessor, the Saga, to enhance privacy, decentralization, and user control. A central upgrade is the Seed Vault, a hardware-level security mechanism that protects private keys and seed phrases by isolating them from the application layer. This feature fortifies the device against security breaches while specifically meeting the needs of blockchain users. In addition, the Seeker integrates a decentralized application store. This store circumvents traditional frameworks by eliminating the hefty fees and restrictions that centralized operators often impose. This move aligns with recent legal and market developments, as regulators have pressured companies like Apple to allow alternative payment systems and give developers greater freedom. Another standout feature is the Seeker's TEEPIN (Trusted Execution Environment Platform Infrastructure Network) architecture, a three-layer system that decentralizes multiple facets of the device’s operations. TEEPIN uses cryptographic attestation to ensure the device runs verified software, which creates a decentralized layer of trust between the hardware, users, and network Guardians. This innovation links hardware authentication, software integrity, and app distribution into one cohesive framework, highlighting Solana Mobile’s commitment to advancing decentralized technology applications. The Seeker's launch comes as the market for blockchain-native devices grows and centralized app-store policies are under intensified scrutiny, creating demand for alternatives that offer greater control and transparency. The phone follows the Saga, which gained traction in the cryptocurrency community after promotional memecoin airdrops to owners made the device profitable. According to CoinMarketCap, Solana (SOL) was trading at $169.26 as of 23:09 UTC on August 4, and its 24-hour trading volume had increased by 4.18%.
