Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of Solana Labs, has announced plans for the launch of its new device Seeker, which follows their first model, Saga. This article explores the launch details and new technologies from the company.
Seeker Shipping Date
According to the company's announcement, shipments of the new device will begin on August 4, 2024. Seeker is the company's second device following the Saga phone, which was introduced in April 2023. So far, 150,000 units of Seeker have been pre-sold.
TEEPIN Architecture
The new architecture called TEEPIN (Trusted Execution Environment Platform Infrastructure Network) features a three-layer system consisting of hardware, platform, and network layers. This architecture will allow users and developers to operate within a trustless environment. Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder and CEO of Solana Labs, described TEEPIN as 'the next evolution in mobile,' where trust is 'verified by cryptography.'
Initial Reactions to Saga
Solana Mobile's first device, Saga, initially generated mixed reactions within the Web3 community. Some viewed it as Web3's 'iPhone moment,' while others pointed to issues with the network as a drawback. However, by late 2023, the device became popular due to a surge in the value of stored memecoins. By December 2023, all units of Saga had sold out.
Solana Mobile continues to develop its ecosystem by introducing new technologies and offering devices that could change the mobile application market. The anticipated Seeker model and new TEEPIN architecture promise exciting prospects for users and developers.
