Solana has begun shipping the second generation of Seeker crypto smartphones, developed by Solana Mobile. The device, which runs on Android, includes a built-in crypto wallet, private key storage, and a decentralized Web3 app store. Early customers are already receiving devices, which were priced at $500 for early buyers. Unlike the first device, Saga, which did not generate much demand, Seeker is showing strong results — over 150,000 devices were sold in pre-order. As part of the launch, the SKR token — the native asset of the ecosystem — is also planned to be launched. Users have discovered that cryptocurrencies, including the meme coin BONK, which increased nearly 100 times in 2023, have started to be deposited into the devices' wallets. This has generated excitement, and on the secondary market, the price of the devices reached $2-5 thousand. Despite a slight decline in the price of Solana (SOL), interest in crypto smartphones is growing, highlighting the trend of integrating blockchain technologies into mobile devices.
