Solana Mobile has shipped 150,000 Seeker phones to over 50 countries, SOL rose by 2%

The Solana ecosystem has just reached a significant milestone with the global launch of its second-generation mobile devices. The Solana Mobile Seeker phone, designed to attract crypto-native users and developers, has begun shipping over 150,000 units to more than 50 countries. As a result, the price of the SOL token has risen by 2%, indicating a renewed enthusiasm among investors and traders.

As a content creator for Gate, I will take you through the importance of this release, why Solana (SOL) has reacted, and how Gate users can benefit from the momentum of the ecosystem.

##What is Seeker and Its Importance

The Seeker of Solana Mobile is built on the foundation of the early Saga smartphone, but on a much larger scale. Unlike the Saga's production quantity of around 20,000 units, the global pre-orders for the Seeker have exceeded 150,000 units, shipping to over 50 countries.

Key differentiating factors include:

• Seed Vault, a hardware secure wallet layer for protecting seed phrases and private keys on devices.
• A Solana dApp Store 2.0 with over 100 Solana native applications - DeFi, gaming, payments, and more features.
• Each device is bound to a genesis soul token, unlocking early access to applications and ultimately SKR token rewards.

This launch demonstrates Solana's intention to weave Web3 into everyday life—potentially attracting mainstream users without relying on centralized app stores.

##Solana Price Reaction: SOL Up Approximately 2%

The release of Seeker led to a price increase of approximately 2.1% for SOL, moving in sync with the delivery announcement.

Technical analysis shows that SOL found support around the $157.7 level (0.382 Fib), with a potential upward target of the $200–$207 resistance zone. Some analysts even expect that if the spot SOL ETF receives regulatory approval, it could move towards $290 later this year.

##Solana's Mobile Strategy: Learning Saga

Solana Labs learned from the slow early sales of Saga; sales only began to grow after the BONK airdrop. The Seeker program seems designed to replicate this growth from the start, offering SKR token incentives, Genesis NFTs, and broader global availability from day one.

The retail price of Seeker ranges from $450 to $500, with expected total revenue exceeding $67.5 million, making it a more refined and better-prepared Web3 phone than its predecessor.

##Ecosystem Impact: Developers and Web3 Adoption

Seeker is not just designed for users - it is a tool that facilitates ecosystem growth:

• Developers can integrate access to application distribution beyond Apple/Google through APKs and Web3 application stores.
• Users enjoy the benefits of wallet security and secure signatures within the device through the Seed Vault.
• The TEEPIN architecture (Trusted Execution Environment Platform Infrastructure Network) achieves decentralized application and security management at the hardware level.

This is a full-stack bet on Solana that is more than just a protocol - it is a consumption platform.

##Things Gate users should know

With the SOL trading responding to this volatility, Gate users can get all updates in real time:

• If SKR or further airdrops are launched through the Genesis token layer, Gate may support claims or trading.
• Gate may host staking or HODL & earn promotional activities related to Seeker holders or SOL events.
• Ongoing SOL price momentum - combined with ecosystem growth - provides trading and listing opportunities for alternative tokens in the Solana space.

Gate's role in connecting emerging Solana innovations with a global user base allows it to effectively highlight and support projects stemming from growth catalysts such as Seeker.

##Final Thoughts

The delivery of the Seeker phone marks an important moment in the journey of Solana—from a layer 1 blockchain to a hardware-supported Web3 network. The promotion to over 50 countries and 150,000 users, along with the rise in SOL prices, suggests new momentum for the ecosystem.

Whether you are interested in the price trend of SOL, building SDKs for dApps, or seizing the opportunity to claim future SKR tokens—the launch of Seeker is a strong signal that Solana aims to make its mark in both mobile hardware and token-level incentives.
