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.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
