Solana Mobile has ended software update and security patch support for its Saga smartphone. The company warned that compatibility with new software or services “cannot be guaranteed,” and that Saga-specific customer support is now limited to general inquiries, according to Solana Mobile’s help-center notice. Solana Mobile said the change “does not affect Seeker devices,” which will continue to receive updates and patches. What ending Saga support signals for Solana Mobile’s next phase The move sets a time limit on the first wave of “crypto-native phone” adoption as Solana Mobile seeks to expand from a single handset into a distribution layer for apps, identity, and token incentives. Ending patches for a key-carrying endpoint creates a straightforward tradeoff: a smaller long-tail footprint to maintain, and a larger trust burden to carry into the Seeker era. In that next phase, users are being asked to place more daily signing and custody behavior on-device. Support duration is also colliding with the broader direction of the phone market. Apple’s service policy sets “vintage” status at 5–7 years from when a product was last distributed for sale, and “obsolete” after 7 years. Google says Pixel 8 and later receive 7 years of OS and security updates. Samsung has pledged 7 years of updates for the Galaxy S24 line. Qualcomm and Google have pushed Android’s ecosystem toward longer lifecycles on newer Snapdragon programs. Against that backdrop, a phone positioned around custody and signing faces a higher bar than a typical Android device. Why long-term software support matters for crypto-first smartphones The downside of unpatched software is not only app breakage, but also potential exposure of keys, approvals, and wallet workflows. Device / Policy Public support posture Source Solana Saga No further software updates or security patches; compatibility not guaranteed Solana Mobile Help Center Google Pixel 8 and later 7 years of OS and security updates Google Help Samsung Galaxy S24 series 7 years of updates pledge Engadget Apple service classification Vintage at 5–7 years, obsolete after 7 years (service availability rules vary) Apple Support Solana Mobile is attempting to shift the narrative away from “device lifecycle” and toward “platform lifecycle.” Its disclosures are designed to anchor that pivot. At Breakpoint 2024, the company said Seeker had surpassed 150,000 preorders across 57 countries, according to its blog post. Solana Mobile later said Seeker would start shipping worldwide on Aug. 4, 2025. That framing recasts Saga’s end-of-support as a controlled handoff from an early cohort to a larger install base. The company’s next lever is SKR, an incentive layer that ties hardware ownership and usage to token distribution. Over time, that system is also intended to support a governance and review model that Solana Mobile calls “Guardians.” Solana Mobile said SKR is planned to launch in January 2026 with a total supply of 10 billion tokens and an allocation that includes 30% earmarked for airdrops. The post also said “over $100M in economic activity” has flowed through 175+ dApps during “Seeker Season” over the past few months. That positions the phone as an alternative distribution rail rather than a one-time hardware sale. What the SKR airdrop math suggests for Seeker holders Those figures allow setting expectation ranges without relying on token price assumptions. If 30% of SKR supply is reserved for airdrops, that implies 3 billion SKR designated for distribution, based on Solana Mobile’s published allocation. If 150,000 Seeker preorder holders were eligible on equal terms, that would be 20,000 SKR per device. If eligibility were limited to “active” devices and 60% qualified, that rises to about 33,333 SKR per active device. If allocations include developers, non-device users, or multiple campaigns, the per-device figure declines accordingly. SKR airdrop pool assumption Eligible participants Implied SKR per participant Math basis 30% of 10B = 3B SKR 150,000 devices 20,000 3,000,000,000 / 150,000 30% of 10B = 3B SKR 90,000 active devices (60%) 33,333 3,000,000,000 / 90,000 A parallel range can be sketched for platform throughput using Solana Mobile’s “Seeker Season” activity claim. If “past few months” is interpreted as three to five months, $100 million equates to roughly $20 million to $33 million per month flowing through participating dApps, using only the company’s stated totals. Whether that flow becomes recurring depends on two measurable milestones already on the calendar: SKR’s distribution mechanics in January 2026 and the rollout of Guardians in 2026. The Guardians rollout is intended to decentralize app review and attribution, according to the same SKR post. Saga’s end-of-support notice is also arriving as Solana’s on-chain activity keeps pushing mobile distribution from a branding exercise into a strategic surface. DefiLlama data shows Solana stablecoin market cap at about $15.218 billion, up 16.79% over 30 days. DefiLlama also shows Solana DEX volume at about $94.439 billion over 30 days. Visa’s stablecoin settlement expansion includes USDC settlement over Solana for participating banks, with broader rollout expected through 2026. If Solana is competing on payments and trading throughput, a phone-level channel that bundles custody, signing, and a curated app marketplace becomes a distribution advantage. But it also concentrates reputational exposure around update policy and post-sale security maintenance. That is the core tension Solana Mobile faces as it sunsets Saga. Token incentives can accelerate adoption, but they can also shift consumer intent toward episodic airdrop behavior. A shorter support window can amplify the cost of any security incident into a brand-level event. Solana Mobile’s help center language clearly sets expectations, stating that Saga will no longer receive security patches and that new service compatibility is not guaranteed. The notice also states that Seeker will continue to receive updates and patches.

Source: OAK Research annual report. 1) The most anticipated events in 2026. - ICO and airdrop of Playmarket, airdrop of BASE, TGE on OpenSea, launch of the MegaETH mainnet #MEGA, AAVE V4 #AAVE and a mobile app (new version of the DeFi lending flagship), Season 3 of Hyperliquid #HYPE (continuation of the rewards program), switching fees in favor of token holders #UNI (fee switch in Uniswap), appointment of a new head of the Federal Reserve, inclusion of crypto ETFs in 401(k) retirement accounts, payments to Mt. Gox creditors (return of ~$9b in BTC). 2) Bitcoin is now a macro asset - 2025 was a transitionary year: BTC ended the year roughly where it started. - The 4-year cycle model no longer works. - BTC's price depends on macroeconomics and ETFs, not retail. - BTC dominance > 60% has sucked liquidity out of altcoins. 3) ETFs and DAT companies – new demand (and threat) - 200+ companies own >1,000,000 BTC (5% of the supply). - ETFs and DATs are the main channels for institutions. - Risk: a compressed premium could collapse the sector. 4) Ethereum: the technology is there, the price isn't - Ethereum's technological progress isn't driving price growth. - The transition to L2 reduced fees and ETH burn, killing the "ultrasound money" narrative. - The Ethereum Foundation reorganized. - The task for 2026 is to explain why to hold ETH. 5) Hyperliquid – winner of the year and symbol of "revenue meta" - The main hero of 2025 in DeFi. $1b+ in annual revenue, a team of 11 people. 99% of revenue is used to buy back #HYPE. - The project has caught up with major CEXs on derivatives. - A model of "AWS for liquidity" is forming. 6) The US legalizes crypto through stablecoins - The passage of the GENIUS Act gave stablecoins clear rules of the game. - Bitcoin is de facto recognized as a strategic reserve asset of the US. - Crypto is no longer a fringe topic and has become part of the financial system. - The downside: the commercialization of politics has intensified (memocoins from politicians, conflicts of interest). 7) Stablecoins – a tool for dollar expansion - #USDT and #USDC control the lion's share of the market. Stablecoin issuers have become one of the largest holders of US government bonds. - Stablecoins are a payment rail/infrastructure for tokenized assets (RWA) and DeFi. 8) RWA: tokenized government bonds – the main case for institutions - Tokenized US Treasury bonds are the most mature and fastest-growing sector of RWA. The market has grown exponentially over the past two years. - Tokenization enables compatibility with DeFi and instant settlements. - The link with TradFi is strengthening – systemic shocks will be transmitted faster. 9) Prediction markets have gone mainstream - Polymarket and Kalshi are a duopoly. Volumes have reached tens of billions. - The launch of tokens in 2026 is the main test of sustainability. 10) L2: harsh selection - Capital is concentrating with leaders (Base, Arbitrum). - Most L2s are losing TVL, activity, and token prices. - The problem is that tokens don't capture value. - The future lies in convenience and integration, not new networks. 11) Airdrops: the classic model is dead - Most tokens after an airdrop have lost 70-90% of their value. - Retroactive giveaways attract hunters, not real users, and destroy ecosystems. - Projects are moving to profit sharing, ICO mechanics, or abandoning tokens altogether. 12) Narratives for 2026: Privacy and Crypto + AI - Interest in private transactions and privacy infrastructure is returning. - The focus has shifted from tokenization models to markets for AI computation, verification, and coordination. Crypto is useful to AI as a layer for settlements, trust, and automated payments. Bittensor (#TAO) is the most mature ecosystem at the intersection of crypto and AI.
