Solana Mobile has officially announced that its much-anticipated Seeker device has entered the testing phase, bringing it one step closer to launch. According to the company’s latest update, shipping is set to begin in Summer 2025, marking another milestone for the project.
Solana Mobile Plans to Ship Seeker
As the release date approaches, Solana Mobile has assured customers that they will soon have the opportunity to confirm or update their shipping addresses. This hints that preparations are in full swing to deliver the next-generation Solana-powered mobile experience to eager users.
The firm expects to build Seeker on the success of the Saga, Solana’s first Web3-focused smartphone. The company believes that with blockchain integration at its core, the device will likely enhance mobile crypto experiences, decentralized app interactions, and overall accessibility to the Solana ecosystem.
The announcement has already generated excitement within the Solana community, especially for users who participated in the presale of over 145,000 devices. Many are eager to see if the so-called “Definitive Web3 mobile device” will meet expectations. Summer 2025 is just around the corner, and the wait for the Seeker is almost over.
What We Know About Seeker
Solana Mobile revealed last year that the Seeker will be lighter and brighter than its predecessor, with an upgraded camera and longer battery life at a more accessible price. Its Seed Vault, in partnership with Solflare, promises top-tier security for self-custody and transaction execution.
Alongside its hardware, the Seeker boasts of unlocking many opportunities within the Solana ecosystem. An updated dApp Store will offer a better experience for tracking rewards and discovering decentralized applications. Each device includes a soulbound Seeker Genesis token that acts as a VIP pass to exclusive rewards, access, and content.
Moreover, the integration of Airship by Helius Labs, a ZK-compression tool, is the best feature for many users who expect potential airdrops for Seeker users. The tool reduces airdrop costs, aiding projects in rewarding users without worrying about the costs.
Meanwhile, the airdrops for Solana Mobile’s Seeker pre-orders briefly surpassed the $450 price. This includes token distribution of MEW, MANEKI, IQ50, and CWIF. The airdrop allowed holders to recoup their device cost while earning a profit.
