Raoul Pal's REAL Vision just released an excellent recap of Solana Mobile GM Emmett Hollyer's talk at Breakpoint 2024, where he introduced Solana Seeker and laid out the blueprint for web3 mobile on Solana. Here are some highlights: 1️⃣ Solana Seeker has presold over 140,000 devices in 57 countries. 2️⃣ The all-new Seed Vault Wallet supercharges Seeker's native Seed Vault with much improved user experience and security. 3️⃣ Each Seeker comes with its own Seeker Genesis Token, providing access to rewards and content across the Solana ecosystem. 4️⃣ The updated Solana Dapp Store will include new features like rewards tracking and support for web apps. 5️⃣ Enhanced Hardware: Lighter, brighter, better cameras, and longer battery life at an accessible price point. ...And as you can see, it looks pretty cool too:

Since we announced Solana Seeker last month, the interest from around the Solana ecosystem has been incredible. We can't wait to get Seeker into your hands. Until then...

🎮 We're excited to announce two major updates for #GameShift by Solana Labs: Dynamic NFTs and Asset Lending! Try out these new features in your game now - El Jefe from Studio 369, the creative team behind METALCORE, is already building on them! 1️⃣ Dynamic NFTs: With GameShift, developers can now modify NFT traits and images post-minting. Perfect for RPGs, sports strategy, card, or simulation games, these dynamic NFTs evolve with your players, reflecting their progress and achievements in real-time. GameShift simplifies the integration of any NFT standard into your game, managing the complexity for you. 2️⃣ Asset Lending: GameShift's Asset Lending allows players to loan assets to each other, enriching gameplay and fostering a stronger community. It's a perfect tool for onboarding new players who can enhance their gameplay with borrowed assets, while lenders can empower their guilds and friends with game assets without permanently parting with them. After the success of METALCORE, the team at Studio 369 chose GameShift for their new project, El Jefe - a thrilling soccer manager game launching soon.  GameShift's integration with El Jefe will allow players to enjoy evolving NFT player cards without the complexity of wallets and gas fees. "GameShift's integration allows players to purchase and evolve NFT player cards as they progress in the game, introducing a new strategic layer to gameplay. Additionally, asset lending will enable the sharing of star players with friends, allowing newcomers to experience high-level gameplay, and experienced gamers to strategize for upcoming matches." - Matt Candler, CEO at Studio369 📌 Stay tuned for more updates coming soon!
