That's realvision.com forward slash free. Hey, everyone. As you know, Solana is one of the ecosystems I'm the most interested in. I've been incredibly bullish. I love to see the vibrancy of what is happening in the space. Unfortunately, I couldn't make Breakpoint this year, but the stories have been amazing.

0:49I heard the talks are incredible, and we're really proud of Real Vision to give you talks from Solana Breakpoint 2024 in Singapore. I really hope you enjoy them.

1:09Hey, everyone. I am Emmett. I'm the general manager of Solana Mobile. But today, I come to you as the regional associate of a humble phone sales. We found Aslana Mobile because we believe it's time for crypto to go mobile. That means bringing things that we love about Web3, DeFi, tokens, dApps, to mobile phones. And the things we love about mobile phones, GPS, cameras, sensors, to Web3. For developers, we wanted to create a free and unrestricted app store. one without a 30 % Apple and Google take rate, and one without any cryptophobic censorship. For users, we wanted to create a cohesive Web3 mobile experience with the highest level of crypto security available on any mobile device.

2:02In doing so, we thought we'd open up a new frontier for Web3 and lay a path towards breaking up the DApp Store duopoly. When we released Saga in early 2023, we were in the depths of the bear market. We knew it would be challenging, and honestly, there were times we doubted we'd make it at all. In fact, there were times where it seemed like everybody doubted that Saga would make it. But we became an award-winning fund. And things changed. Rewards happened. Meme coins happened. Bonk happened. We sold over 15 ,000 devices in a single day. Saga sold out. And 93 % of our users have engaged with the Dapp Store, which is now home to nearly 100 dApps.

2:46Solana ecosystem projects and developers have distributed millions of dollars in rewards to Saga users, kick-starting the Web3 mobile flywheel. And although I'd love to stand up here and take all the credit, it was the ingenuity of the Solana devs and the maniacal energy of our community that made this all happen. What they showed us is that a phone is only part of the product. What makes the device possible is the real magic. It's more than a phone. It's a Web3 magnet.

3:21Getting 20 ,000 devices in our users' hands was a major milestone. But for crypto to go mobile, we knew we needed to make the phone more accessible, more affordable, and keep the native integration of hardware and software. The next phase, what we'd call Chapter 2, depended on us selling at least 100 ,000 units. It was a huge step into the unknown. But the response has been overwhelming. Chapter 2 sold more units in its first day than Saga sold in a year. With our community support, we exceeded our target in a matter of weeks. So now, with over 140 ,000 units pre-sold in 57 countries, our flywheel is fully in motion with$150 million of rewards flowing to Chapter 2 pre-orders so far.

4:08It's clear to us that we're on to something special here. And we're so honored that you put your faith in us. It's what drives us every day. The progress that our team is making is really impressive, but today we can start to show you just some of the reasons why we're so excited for Chapter 2. That's why I'm here to show the next chapter for Solana Mobile.

4:33Thank you.

5:16Chapter 2 for Salonimovil is Seeker. And I actually have a prototype with me today. Want to see it? Okay.

5:35It's amazing that we've come this far, that we have a working Seeker prototype in my hand. But what exactly is Solana Seeker? We see it as the definitive Web3 mobile device. Clearly, the team has been deep in buildup for the last few months, and we've made a ton of progress, but there is plenty of work left to be done. But let me show you around. Seeker is a beautiful mobile phone, engineered to harmonize its hardware and its software for Web3. It's lighter, it's brighter, it's got better cameras, and the battery lasts longer, all at a much more accessible price point than its predecessor. Like its predecessor, the Seed Vault is at the heart of Seeker.

6:20Seed Vault lives in its own environment, abstracted away from apps and the Android operating system to keep your seats safe. It's designed to give the highest level of crypto security available on any mobile device. But with Seeker, we've taken things one step further.

6:38Introducing Seed Vault Wallet. Created exclusively for Seeker with our friends at Soulflare, Seed Vault Wallet is a mobile-first wallet that's natively integrated to supercharge your Seed Vault experience. That means we can provide major UX upgrades for our users. so you can send transactions with a simple double tap and save your fingers from the workout. You can also choose between a primary mode and a burner mode to ensure peace of mind, save time, and never have to worry about complicated account management. Where we build Seedvault to offer the best possible security for our users, we're building Seedvault Wallet to offer the best possible experience.

7:19And the Seedvault Wallet will plug into an updated Salon Adapt Store. We've equipped the DApp Store with new features like rewards tracking to monitor all of the earning and rewards opportunities you have on Seeker in one place. We'll have support for web dApps and we'll have improved discoverability. We think that's going to be really important because there are tons of teams already building for Seeker. With zero fees and crypto-friendly policies, the Solana DApp Store will continue to be the home of the best mobile Web3 experiences.

7:52And, of course, every seeker comes with a Seeker Genesis token. It's the key to unlocking rewards, access, and content across the Solana ecosystem. For our users, the Genesis token is a proof of a VIP membership into the heart of Solana. And for builders, it gives the confidence that whether you're testing new features or launching new rewards programs, you're connecting directly with real, live Solana mobile OGs. And until Seeker launches, the Chapter 2 pre-order token will help keep those rewards flowing to anybody who has pre-ordered Seeker.

8:30Seeker is a beacon for Solana dApps. DeFi, DePin, payments, AI, NFT games, you name it. If it's happening on Solana, it's happening on Seeker. This is the Solana ecosystem in your pocket. And since we've announced, the interest from the ecosystem has been crazy. We have a lot of teams building a lot of great things that I don't have the time for today, but why don't we give a brief glimpse of what's to come.

9:03Whether you use Seeker as your daily device or your secondary crypto burner, you can put it to work earning for you with various Deepin apps. In Helium Mobile, we'll be providing four free months of coverage to Seekers and introducing Seeker-exclusive earning opportunities for mapping the growing Helium network. We worked closely with Helium and other DeepIn teams to make sure that Seeker and all of its sensors are optimized for builders, enabling them to build more advanced DeepIn dApps custom for Seeker.

9:41And as many of you know, earning rewards is great, but with Seeker, you can create the rewards you want to see in the world. Moonshot, powered by DexCreator, will be launching its token platform with Seeker-only optimizations. Seekers will be able to launch their own tokens and even auto-allocate a share of those tokens to other Seekers with a single click. And tokens launched on Moonshot via Seeker will enjoy automatic boosts for both discoverability and rewards on their platform.

10:17Solana was the first blockchain to integrate AI, and Seeker carries that one step further. Seeker users can use Aletheia AI to generate tokenized AI agents of new or familiar faces that can interact on-chain with your favorite programs or with the rest of the Solana community.

10:43And gamers will find a slew of Web3 games and Seeker exclusives, including limited edition assets and rewards in Parallel Colony, which will be launching in the Dapp store when Seeker releases.

11:02In addition to the great Dapp exclusives that will be coming to Seeker, Helios is launching AirGip, a CK compression tool that makes airdrops 4 ,000 times cheaper. Where previously it used to cost over$40 ,000 to airdrop to the whole of the Solana mobile pre-order community, Airship reduces those costs to as little as$100. And every airdrop initiated on Airship will have the option to auto-allocate to the Chapter 2 pre-order token corporate group.

11:36And that's just the beginning. Like I said, it would take all day to stand up here and watch through all of the great experiences we've got in store. The story of Solana Global has been written by the Solana community. And chapter two of that story is the Solana secret. We invite every team in the Solana ecosystem to participate in writing What Comes Next. Our team is here. I see a lot of familiar faces. We're here at Breakpoint. We have a booth. Come find us. Come get in touch. We are very excited to hear what you're building.

12:10Seeker will be shipping in mid-2025, and we cannot wait to get it in your hands. To those of you that have already pre-ordered, you'll know that the Chapter 2 pre-order token is proof that these rewards are coming. And to those of you that haven't, we've reintroduced the Founder Window pre-sale price back down to$450 through the end of Breakpoint. Breakpoint, thank you so much for having us. Like I said, our booth is out there. We've got some great swag. We'd love to hand off. We'd love to hear what you're excited about for Seeker, what you're building. So come spend some time with us. Let's talk.

12:45Thanks so much, everybody.
