Solana Mobile has officially introduced its new cryptocurrency smartphone, "Seeker," previously known as "Chapter Two."
The launch has generated significant interest, with over 140,000 pre-orders from 57 countries. To boost early sales, Solana Mobile has reinstated the $450 early buyer price, available until the Solana Breakpoint conference ends.
Seeker comes with major integrations, including four months of free Helium coverage, gaming rewards from Parallel Colony, tokenized AI agents from Alethea, and exclusive perks from the Moonshot meme coin.
The phone also boasts key features like a Seed Vault wallet, an upgraded Solana dApp store, and the Seeker Genesis token—an exclusive NFT offering special rewards and access.
While much of the success of Solana’s previous model, Saga, was attributed to airdrop events, Solana’s ongoing focus on mobile devices underscores its commitment to a mobile-driven future for cryptocurrency.
This aligns with broader trends in payments and digital wallets, signaling that cryptocurrencies are becoming increasingly mobile-first.
6/ The interest from around the ecosystem has been crazy. Here’s a glimpse of the kinds of experiences Seeker will make possible:
DeFi, DePIN, payments, games, NFTs, and whatever the Solana community dreams up next.
