Solana Mobile has moved to position its blockchain technology directly inside Android hardware.
The company introduced a modular stack for smartphone manufacturers at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, aiming to shift revenue beyond one-time device sales toward recurring blockchain income.Â
Company executives said the Solana Mobile Stack gives OEMs direct access to onchain activity at the hardware level.
Solana Mobile Stack integrates hardware Wallets into android devices
According to press release, Stack bundles Seed Vault, Seeker Wallet, and the SKR token.
The company explained that Seed Vault connects with a device’s secure element and trusted execution environment.
Users authenticate transactions through biometrics, similar to tap-to-pay systems. The company added that the design removes seed phrases and third-party custodians.
Solana Mobile said users can send, receive, buy, and sell digital assets directly. The firm noted that peer-to-peer transfers and cross-border payments run at near-zero cost.
It also confirmed that Visa, Stripe, Western Union, and PayPal already operate on Solana’s network.
According to the company, this integration allows users to access established financial rails from launch.
Solana Mobile emphasized that the stack remains modular and opt-in. The company reported that it does not interfere with Google Mobile Services or Android security certifications.
Officials in Barcelona stated that OEMs can deploy the stack by region, SKU, or product line. They added that the rollout carries no platform fragmentation risk.
MediaTek has opened its development platform to Solana Mobile. The stack runs production-ready on MediaTek Dimensity chipsets.
Solana Mobile also confirmed support for Qualcomm chipsets. Trustonic’s Kinibi TEE architecture integrates to meet GlobalPlatform security standards.
Production data and revenue model highlight OEM incentives
Solana Mobile revealed that it has more than six months of real-world data from its Seeker device.
The company reported shipping over 200,000 devices to 50 countries. It cited 85,000 weekly active wallets and more than $5 billion in onchain transaction volume.
The firm stated that more than 500 apps now operate on the Solana dApp Store. Around 4,000 active developers build within the ecosystem.
Solana also reported between 50 and 150 million monthly active blockchain addresses.
Solana Mobile said OEMs earn from transaction fees, staking commissions, and ecosystem activity.
The SKR token launched with over 75,000 claimants, and 46% staked immediately.
The company cited GSMA data showing $27.6 trillion in stablecoin transaction volume in 2024.
That figure exceeded combined Visa and Mastercard volumes. Mobile money transactions in emerging markets reached $1.68 trillion.
Solana Mobile added that deployment strategies vary. India, Brazil, and Mexico focus on stablecoins and yield.
Developed Asia prioritizes self-custody tools. Europe targets stablecoin yield and bank connectivity.
