Solana’s ’Seeker’ Aims to Shatter Mobile’s Wall Garden—Can It Deliver?

Move over, Apple and Google—Solana’s new ’Seeker’ protocol is gunning for mobile’s locked-down ecosystem. The blockchain heavyweight claims its decentralized approach cuts out rent-seeking app stores, bypassing their 30% vig. No more begging for approval from Silicon Valley gatekeepers.

But here’s the kicker: Seeker promises native crypto integration without the clunky web3 workarounds. Imagine tipping creators in SOL directly from your lock screen or trading NFTs mid-scroll. If it works, it could rewrite mobile economics overnight.

Wall Street analysts are already scoffing—’Another crypto pipe dream,’ muttered one while adjusting his 2-and-20 fee structure. Yet with Solana’s recent throughput hitting 65,000 TPS, the tech might just outpace the skepticism this time.
