Nothing Stops the Well-Oiled Solana Machine. Its Native Crypto SOL, Its Ultra-Fast Blockchain, and Its Many Thriving Projects Are Proof of That.

Saga marked Solana's first step into the world of smartphones dedicated to Web3. Despite technical criticisms and a mixed reception, Saga sparked a frenzy within the crypto community.

Solana’s first Web3 smartphone, Saga, made a weak start despite the hype. But the network is back on track with the upcoming release of its second phone, Seeker.

The device will be available on August 4, 2025, and pre-sales have already surpassed 150,000 units.

Saga was announced with great fanfare at the beginning of 2023. It was supposed to revolutionize the smartphone world by combining blockchain technology, a user-friendly interface, and a rich ecosystem of dApps.

However, Saga faced technical difficulties, notably with overheating and limited battery life. It was also criticized for its high price, starting at $899 for the flagship model.

Despite these issues, Saga sparked enthusiasm among crypto enthusiasts, who appreciated its responsiveness, the speed of Solana’s transactions, and the potential of the SKR token, which powered this universe.

As for the operating system, it was a modified version of Android, offering a clean interface and minimal bloatware.

Solana’s smartphone was also a magnet for rewards, with several programs launched to encourage early adopters.

Moreover, Saga fell victim to a surprising rally of the memecoin Bonk at the end of 2023, propelling the phone to unexpected status, with some models reselling for several thousand dollars in the used market.

This unexpected turn of events transformed the phone into a true crypto “jackpot” for early users who had purchased it at launch.

Now, Solana is returning with a lighter and more optimized device, integrating the learnings from the first model.

Seeker will inherit the TEEPIN architecture for a decentralized environment, hardware and platform intertwining to offer a trustless mobile environment validated by cryptography.

The SKR token, native to this universe, creates an economy where users, developers, and manufacturers share governance. This crypto integration is designed to encourage active participation, far from the classic model where the user remains just a consumer.

With a reinforced battery, a brighter screen, and a fee-free dApps app store facilitating innovation, Seeker also integrates DeFi applications, payments, and games, serving a wide range of use cases.

Key figures for Seeker and Solana Mobile:

* 150,000 units of the new Solana phone have already been pre-sold.

* Each device is priced between $450 and $500.

* At least 100,000 of the 150,000 pre-orders are funded.

* Solana Mobile is funded by a $200 million venture capital fund.

* Solana has sold a total of 400,000 smartphone units since the launch of Saga earlier this year.

Solana and TEEPIN: an incursion for crypto tech novices

TEEPIN, acronym for Trusted Execution Environment Platform Infrastructure Network, is a major innovation. It is a three-layer system that guarantees a secure and decentralized mobile environment.

For the novice, it is like an invisible fortress that protects data and applications through secret codes. This architecture removes the need for centralized trusted third parties, replacing their role with cryptographic proofs.

Thus, control no longer depends on a single actor but on a community. Solana offers with TEEPIN an open platform, where developers and users become co-owners.

TEEPIN relies on strict IETF standards, providing transparency and scalability. The separation between hardware, platform, and network allows fine management of applications, cryptographic keys, and access rights.

This technology is the trademark that distinguishes Solana Mobile from other manufacturers.

Moreover, Solana’s crypto sector is currently undergoing a strategic pause, according to a recent technical analysis published. SOL is marking a consolidation period, allowing the market to breathe after a spectacular rise.

This phase could prepare for a new bullish cycle, provided the ecosystem continues to innovate and attract users.
