Seeker wallet

What is Seeker (SKR)?

Seeker takes its name from the Solana Mobile phone, and SKR is the token that ties that hardware ecosystem together. Solana Mobile ships a phone with a built-in Seed Vault and its own dApp Store, and the network layer behind it, TEEPIN, uses the secure hardware inside those phones to attest that a device and an app are what they claim to be. SKR is the asset that governs and coordinates that ecosystem: holders take part, through governance and staking to Guardians, in how the dApp Store and the network are run, and the token is how participation by developers, device owners and app users is accounted for.

You do not need a Seeker phone to hold SKR. It is a standard SPL token on Solana, and that decides most of what matters day to day. Every fee is paid in SOL, not in SKR, and the first time SKR lands at an address the network opens a token account for it, which sets aside a fraction of a SOL as rent. Keep that in mind before sending your whole SOL balance elsewhere: an address with zero SOL cannot move its SKR.

Two names are easy to mix up. SKR is the fungible, transferable token. The Seeker Genesis Token is a non-transferable NFT bound to each Seeker phone, which marked device owners for the initial SKR distribution. It stays with the phone; it is not SKR and is not meant to be transferred. There is no rebase: the number you hold is the number on chain.

Because fees come out of SOL, the practical setup is SKR and a little SOL in the same wallet. In Tangem both sit together in one wallet, and a transfer or a governance vote is signed by tapping the card to your phone, with nothing to plug in or charge.
