Solana Mobile Emerges as Launchpad for New Solana Founders, Says Anatoly Yakovenko

  • Solana’s Anatoly Yakovenko pushed developers to launch on Seeker first, before it gets crowded.
  • Seeker introduces SKR token launching January 2026 linking devices identity rewards with fixed supply.

At the Solana Breakpoint 2025 conference in Abu Dhabi, Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, stressed the importance of the Seeker device as part of Solana’s broader push to attract new developers and shift Web3 adoption to mobile. Speaking directly to developers, Yakovenko described the Seeker as the best place to build and release Web3 mobile apps.

He called the Seeker a “very small pond in which you can be a big fish.” The idea, according to Yakovenko, is to help new apps gain their first 10,000 users in a smaller but crypto-native space before broader competition increases. This approach avoids the limitations of traditional app stores and their control over mobile software distribution.

Yakovenko stated in an X post, 

The device, built around a decentralized model, shipped to early buyers starting August 4, 2025, with over 150,000 pre-orders coming in from users across 50 countries. Sold at $500, the Seeker blends mobile hardware with Web3 features designed to lower the barrier for app creation and usage on-chain.

SKR Token Launch Set for January 2026

During the same conference cycle, Solana Mobile revealed SKR as the main token linked to Seeker. Public launch is scheduled for January 2026. Company statements describe SKR as the financial layer connecting devices, identity tools, and participation rewards.

The total fixed amount of SKR tokens is 10 billion. Allocation targets early adopters and phone buyers with 30 percent, and 25 percent is allocated for expansion. The remaining amounts are allocated for liquidity and community funds, team, and long-term supporters.

Inflation is set to begin near 10 percent during the first year before settling at lower levels later. Seeker also includes Seed Vault security, a native app store, and identity tools, allowing full use of on-chain services directly from the device.

Solana Mobile Expands Builder Grants for 2026

Solana Mobile general manager Emmett Hollyer addressed support plans for builders during the event. Expansion of the Builder Grants Program was confirmed, covering infrastructure teams and consumer-focused app creators.

Hollyer also pointed to prior results from a Solana Mobile hackathon held during the previous year. Teams launched early products and gained real users through participation.

A second hackathon is planned for the first quarter of 2026. According to Hollyer, funding and exposure remain central goals.

As of latest market updates, Solana SOL is currently trading at $132.5 with a marginal increase in value by 0.48% over the last day. The daily spot trading volume is recorded at $2.87 billion.

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town.  From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world.  Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us.  Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak.  “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.”  We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
