Solana Mobile has begun shipping its second-generation Seeker phone to over 50 countries, with over 150,000 pre-orders. Seeker features upgraded technology, a mobile-native crypto wallet, and a decentralized app store. Priced at $450 and $500, the device is expected to generate at least $67.5 million in revenue for Solana Mobile.

The Seeker phone utilizes TEEPIN architecture to decentralize the economy and incentives on the device, creating a decentralized mobile platform. TEEPIN is a three-layer architecture that decentralizes various aspects of the device, linking hardware, verified software, users, and network Guardians. This architecture provides extra security through cryptographic attestation, proving the device runs legitimate software.

Apple softens app-store rules following a court ruling in a case with Epic Games, allowing crypto app developers to link to NFT collections or external payment systems without paying entitlements. Crypto apps have faced scrutiny from centralized app stores globally, with Google Play recently blocking access to 17 unregistered exchanges in South Korea.
