Dapp

Dapps are digital applications that run on a P2P network of computers rather than a single server, typically utilizing smart contracts to ensure transparency and uptime. In 2026, Dapps have achieved mass-market appeal through Account Abstraction, allowing for a "Web2-like" user experience with the security of Web3. This tag covers the entire ecosystem of decentralized software—from social media and productivity tools to governance platforms and identity management.

Solana Mobile Ships 150K Seeker Phones to 50+ Countries, SOL Jumps 2%

Solana Mobile Ships 150K Seeker Phones to 50+ Countries, SOL Jumps 2%

Solana Mobile has initiated the rollout of its second-generation Seeker smartphone, with an initial pre-order batch of 150,000 devices now shipping to customers across more than 50 countries worldwide. The company confirmed through an August 4 announcement on X that tens of thousands of Seeker units are currently en route to customers. Early recipients have verified the delivery and reported that the device is priced between $450-$500, featuring premium specifications including a MediaTek 8-core processor, 8GB of RAM paired with 128GB of storage, and a 4,500mAh battery with wireless charging capability. I just completed the shipment process for my @solanamobile phone today. Looking forward to see the phone. Solana Seeker Specs 🔍 ▪︎ Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 7300 (8-core) ▪︎ Memory: 8GB RAM + 128GB UFS 3.1 ▪︎ Display: 6.36″ AMOLED, 2670×1200 resolution, 120Hz refresh… pic.twitter.com/RdLaa6h2Ma — Engr Gudbee || Craftiaxops (@0xEngr_gudbee) August 2, 2025 The Seeker also comes with Web3-specific functionalities such as side fingerprint authentication via Seed Vault Wallet integration and an enhanced Solana dApp Store. Solana Seeker’s Decentralized Mobile Infrastructure Challenges Apple & Google Tech The Solana Seeker smartphone, first revealed in September 2024 , represents the successor to the Saga, Solana’s inaugural crypto-native device in its series of Web3-integrated mobile offerings. Market projections suggest the Seeker is positioned to generate approximately $67.5 million in gross revenue for Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of blockchain technology firm Solana Labs. Through the Seeker, Solana Mobile seeks to decentralize device economics and incentive structures. This vision is powered by TEEPIN (Trusted Execution Environment Platform Infrastructure Network), a technological framework. The system connects hardware components, verified software, users, and network Guardians to establish a truly decentralized mobile platform. Emmett Hollyer, general manager at Solana Mobile, emphasizes that the Seeker focuses on creating “rewarding” ecosystem connections rather than traditional mobile experiences. 📽️ The future of mobile crypto is almost here – Seeker ships August 4th! @solanamobile GM @m_it unpacks the native SKR token, TEEPIN security stack, a growing dApp store 2.0, and opening the ecosystem to new devices. 👉Can it become the gold standard for mobile crypto? pic.twitter.com/m8HThsr2qU — SolanaFloor (@SolanaFloor) May 30, 2025 Hollyer explains, “ It revolutionizes the conventional mobile business model by providing stakeholders with actual platform ownership. “ Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder and CEO of Solana Labs, articulates the ambitious goal of establishing a premium mobile ecosystem capable of competing with industry giants Google and Apple. He further elaborates on the technical possibilities: “ For instance, when the Seeker mobile generates proprietary keys guaranteed against leakage, it can implement independent double-spend protection completely offline. Users could transmit or receive tokens, even execute smart contracts, without blockchain interaction or finalization delays. “ Solana SKR Token Airdrop Could Mirror BONK’s 30M Token Bonanza The Solana Seeker includes a Genesis NFT providing owners access to future airdrops, exclusive content, and reward programs, with particular focus on the planned native ecosystem token, SKR . SKR represents the native ecosystem token for Solana mobile devices, operating on Solana’s layer-1 blockchain and expected to be “airdropped directly to builders and users for ecosystem participation.” Many industry observers believe the SKR token airdrop could replicate the success of the BONK airdrop that revitalized Saga sales after months of sluggish performance. Market sentiment suggests strong potential for rapid sellout and contribution to the anticipated “Solana summer” positive momentum. The Solana Network and its ecosystem have demonstrated strong performance throughout 2025, positively influencing SOL cryptocurrency valuations. While SOL remains down year-to-date, the asset shows renewed upward momentum and appears positioned to challenge the $200 resistance level. Source: TradingView The Seeker mobile rollout announcement has already driven SOL prices up by 2.12%, with many analysts believing further gains could mirror the 14% surge witnessed when the Android device was initially unveiled at Token 2049 in Singapore. The potential approval of the first spot SOL ETFs by the SEC could serve as an additional rally catalyst. Recently, major firms, including Bitwise, Fidelity, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, VanEck, Canary Capital, and CoinShares, submitted amended S-1 registration statements to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, increasing approval odds to over 95% . 🤖 ChatGPT's 42-signal $SOL analysis flags critical $160 breakout amid historic staking ETF launch exploding with $33M first-day volume ranking top 10 ETF launches of 2025. #ChatGPT #Solana https://t.co/zE7OCtbBqE — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) July 3, 2025 Should these developments progress favorably, SOL could target the $200-$250 range by fall, positioning the Seeker launch within a broader positive market cycle for the Solana ecosystem.

Base Network Suffers 19-Minute Block Production Halt Before Recovery

Base Network Suffers 19-Minute Block Production Halt Before Recovery

Coinbase’s Base network experienced a 19-minute block production halt on August 5, with the latest block remaining at height 33,792,704 before resuming normal operations. The Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain reported the issue at 6:15 UTC and confirmed resolution by 6:44 UTC according to its official status page , marking the network’s first significant outage. Source: Base Status Page Network Recovers as Token Creation Surge Tests Infrastructure Limits Base mainnet experienced delays in deposits, withdrawals, block production, and Flashblocks functionality during the disruption. The network identified and fixed the underlying issue within 30 minutes while continuing to monitor for additional problems, though officials did not disclose the specific cause of the halt. The outage might have occurred as Base experiences unprecedented growth in token creation, recently overtaking Solana in daily launches with over 54,000 new tokens on July 27. Source: TheBlock The surge stems from the integration of social platforms Zora and Farcaster into the rebranded Base App, which automatically mints creator coins from social posts. Base’s rapid expansion includes 1.6 million tokens launched and nearly 3 million traders participating since the app relaunch, generating approximately $470 million in trading volume. The network’s institutional adoption accelerated with JPMorgan’s JPMD digital deposit token launch and Shopify’s USDC payment integration across 34 countries. Creator Economy Boom Drives Network Activity to Record Levels Base’s transformation into a comprehensive SocialFi platform through the July rebranding of Coinbase Wallet has fundamentally altered its usage patterns. The integration of Zora’s smart contracts enables automatic ERC-20 token minting from every social post, creating tradable creator coins with instant liquidity. Daily token launches skyrocketed from 6,649 on July 1 to approximately 50,000 by month-end, establishing Base as the leading network for token creation. Source: Dune Analytics The flagship ZORA token achieved a $200 million market cap, up 185% from April’s $70 million valuation. Notable creator coins achieved substantial valuations, including Zeebu at over $485 million market cap, Wormhole at over $355 million, and Yield Guild Games at over $80 million with over $12 million daily volume. The ecosystem’s rapid growth prompted Base creator Jesse Pollak to call for crypto funds to take “$5 million or more” positions in creator coin indexes. who is going to be the first fund to take a scaled (e.g. $5m+) long hold position in an index of onchain creators? seems like a relatively no-brainer opportunity to win as the onchain creator economy grows. — jesse.base.eth (@jessepollak) August 3, 2025 The Base App combines social networking powered by Farcaster, USDC payments, on-chain identity management, and dApp discovery in a single interface. Users can earn up to 4.1% APY holding USDC while accessing hundreds of mini-apps for gaming, yield farming, and prediction markets. Notably, Base Chain’s recent Flashblocks upgrade reduced effective block times from 2 seconds to 200 milliseconds, making transactions 10 times faster. The network also processes international transactions under $0.01 with 200-millisecond settlement times. Security Challenges Mount Despite Institutional Backing Base faced significant security incidents alongside its growth trajectory, including the $2.5 million Arcadia Finance hack on July 15 . Attackers exploited a vulnerability in the Rebalancer contract’s swapData parameters to drain user vaults of USDC, USDS, and other tokens before bridging funds to the Ethereum mainnet. The Arcadia breach marked the platform’s second major security incident following a $455,000 hack in October 2023. Both attacks exploited insufficient input validation and reentrancy protection in smart contract code, with PeckShield previously warning about persistent vulnerabilities. Coinbase launched a $5 million bug bounty program through Cantina , targeting Base network smart contracts and on-chain products. 🤑 @coinbase drops massive $5M bug bounty on Cantina for @base security as @jpmorgan launches $JPMD token and @Shopify integrates USDC payments across 34 countries. #Coinbase #Base https://t.co/R6cdJAI1RQ — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) July 9, 2025 The initiative covers critical components, including Verified Pools, Fault-Proof Audits, and WebAuthn modules, representing one of the largest Web3 security programs. The exchange simultaneously dealt with a data breach affecting nearly 70,000 users through bribed overseas support staff, resulting in a $20 million ransom demand that Coinbase refused to pay. The company terminated over 200 TaskUs employees and established enhanced insider-threat detection systems. Base’s network halt joins a pattern of blockchain outages in 2024, including Sui’s hour-long crash , TON’s six-hour disruption amid DOGS token demand, Avalanche’s two-hour block production failure , and Solana’s repeated five-hour outages . It is evident that this incident isn’t new of its kind, and it shows the infrastructure challenges faced by blockchain networks as they scale to accommodate mainstream adoption.
