Solana Mobile has just announced that it will begin shipping the new generation smartphone – Solana Seeker on August 4, accompanied by a notable move: launching a new token named SKR – the native coin dedicated to Solana's decentralized mobile ecosystem.



Seeker – The second-generation Solana phone, cheaper and more powerful


After the initial success of Solana Saga, the new Seeker phone will maintain core features like Seed Vault (hardware key storage) and Genesis token, while upgrading with a series of new features:



  • SeekerID – user identifier on the Solana Mobile ecosystem


  • SeedVault Wallet – built-in crypto wallet



  • New Solana Dapp store – easier distribution of Web3 applications




With a price of $500 (half the price of Saga), Seeker has recorded over 150,000 orders, showing significant demand from the global crypto community.



SKR – Not SOL, but a token dedicated to mobile Web3


A major highlight is that Solana does not use $SOL as the main token in the mobile ecosystem but instead launches an entirely new coin – SKR.


The reason? According to Emmett Hollyer – Director #SolanaMobile , SKR is designed to be tightly integrated with the core goals of the decentralized mobile platform, representing ownership, participation, and the development of the community within this ecosystem, rather than relying on a common coin like SOL.


Token SKR will:



  • Distributed directly to users and developers who contribute to the ecosystem



  • Playing a central role in the economy and incentive model of all devices in the Solana Mobile network – not just Seeker but also Saga and other future phone models



  • Not dependent on any fixed hardware manufacturers, aiming to expand for many brands to participate





TEEPIN – groundbreaking infrastructure for decentralized mobile


Solana Mobile also introduces a new three-layer architecture called TEEPIN, which creates a decentralized mobile Web3 experience while maintaining security like traditional platforms.


According to Solana Labs co-founder, Anatoly Yakovenko, TEEPIN leverages the security hardware available on modern phones and access control via blockchain, creating:



  • An open platform where trust is verified by cryptography, not by Big Tech



  • Independent of Apple's or Google's App Store, developers can freely build Web3 applications without worrying about censorship or platform fees.



  • Users are authenticated and highly secure, meeting the expectations of a serious Web3 ecosystem





Suggestions for investors and Binance users


The launch of #SKR and the Seeker shows that Solana is building a unique and exclusive direction: expanding from blockchain to the decentralized mobile space – a market that is still very new and has great potential. With an existing community and a clear vision, Solana could become a pioneer in Web3 for the smartphone industry.


Binance users can track the developments of SKR in the near future, as even though it has not been listed or officially launched, this token has the potential to become central in a crypto application ecosystem connected to mainstream users – something no blockchain has effectively accomplished.



Risk warning


While SKR and Seeker present great potential, investing in new tokens always carries risks, especially when information about distribution or real-world applications is still limited. Users should research thoroughly and not make financial decisions based solely on initial excitement or media trends. Crypto is always a highly volatile market and is not suitable for everyone. #anhbacong
