Solana’s Seeker Phone Ships with Built-In SOL Staking — No Fees & One-Tap Rewards

Solana Mobile’s Seeker phone has officially started shipping to over 50 countries, with 150,000 units pre-ordered at a price point of $450–$500. Designed specifically for active Solana users, the device introduces built-in **mobile staking powered by SOL Strategies**, the exclusive validator operator. Users can stake their SOL directly from the phone and receive rewards with **zero fees on staking yields and MEV tips**, ensuring every earned token goes to holders with no cut taken by validators.

The Seeker also includes an integrated **Seed Vault hardware wallet** from SolFlare, secured with biometric authentication, enabling safe on-device key storage and seamless transaction signing. Solana Mobile has bundled a **Genesis token** (soulbound to each device) and a proprietary **SKR ecosystem token** to incentivize user participation. The built-in **Solana dApp Store** now supports over 100 apps, offering users native access to staking, DeFi, NFTs, and more—all via the **Mobile Wallet Adaptor**.

The phone’s hardware specs include a 6.36-inch AMOLED display, 8 GB RAM, Mediatek Dimensity 7300 chip, and a 4,500 mAh battery—positioning it as a lighter, more affordable version of the Saga. Solana Mobile emphasizes usability improvements over the original Saga, simplifying transaction approvals to fingerprint and single-click confirmations without compromising security. The Seeker aims to democratize on-chain transactions and staking by removing friction and delivering a crypto-native experience tailored for everyday use.
