Gambar Solana Rolls Out Seeker Mobile to 50 Countries — Here’s What Makes It Stand Out

Jakarta, Pintu News – Solana Mobile officially began shipping its second generation of phones on Monday (4/8), reaching users in more than 50 countries.

The new device, named Seeker, has already garnered over 150,000 pre-orders, and comes with technology upgrades, a built-in crypto wallet for mobile use, and a decentralized app store that bypasses the “cryptophobic censorship” common in traditional app stores.

Emmett Hollyer, General Manager of Solana Mobile, told Cointelegraph that Seeker brings an overall hardware upgrade over the first generation Saga. However, what makes Seeker truly different is its on-chain features.

One such feature is the Seed Vault. Hollyer explains,

“Seed Vault provides hardware-level security to keep private keys, seed phrases, and secret data isolated from the application layer, while still being able to interact with existing applications.”

With this new tool, Solana Mobile is targeting developers and crypto enthusiasts alike.

For developers, there is an alternative app marketplace that is free from the high fees of Google Play and Apple App Store.
For crypto enthusiasts, the mobile experience will be smoother, whether for NFT trading, playing blockchain-based games, or using DeFi applications.

The phone is sold in two price variants, $450 (Rp7,370,100) and $500 (Rp8,189,000), and is expected to generate gross revenue of at least $67.5 million for Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of Solana Labs.

In comparison, the first-generation Saga phone sold only 20,000 units, and sales were sluggish for months before the trend of memecoins on the device made the purchase profitable.

TEEPIN Architecture for Decentralization and Security

With Seeker, Solana Mobile seeks to decentralize the economy and incentives directly on the device.

The main mechanism used is a technology called TEEPIN, which stands for Trusted Execution Environment Platform Infrastructure Network.

TEEPIN has a three-layer architecture that decentralizes various aspects of the device, from device access to application distribution. It connects hardware, verified software, users, and network “Guardians”, forming a decentralized mobile platform.

Unlike traditional mobile phones that usually use a hybrid approach-where some aspects remain centralized, such as the app store or security system-TEEPIN is designed with fully decentralized principles, in line with the Web3 philosophy.

In addition, TEEPIN also adds an extra layer of security to Seeker. Hollyer explains that this architecture “provides security through cryptographic attestation, so the device can prove to the network that it is running legitimate software.”

Apple Relaxes App Store Rules

Apple, a tech giant with a market capitalization of $3 trillion, was previously at the center of an antitrust controversy for allegedly hindering app developers from communicating with users and charging commissions on out-of-app purchases.

The latest court ruling is considered a victory for crypto app developers. After this decision, they can link apps to NFT collections or external payment systems without having to pay additional fees or “entitlements.” This legal case was a battle between Epic Games and Apple.

Crypto apps are in the spotlight of regulators in various countries. Centralized app stores such as Apple and Google have the authority to block certain applications according to regulations.

For example, Google Play once blocked access to 17 crypto exchanges that were not registered in South Korea.
