MoonPay introduces commerce app for Solana Mobiles Seeker device

• MoonPay has launched a commerce app specifically for Solana Mobiles Seeker device.
• The MoonPay Commerce app will be available exclusively on the Seeker mobile developed by Solana Mobile.

MoonPay has unveiled its MoonPay Commerce app, built exclusively for the Solana Seeker device, offering users a seamless way to browse online stores and make crypto payments.

The app is integrated with MoonPay Commerce and Solana Pay, allowing users to shop with crypto at checkout through Shopify.

At launch, the app features a curated directory of brands and creators accepting crypto payments, including notable names like Fortune Magazine, Pudgy Penguins, and Doodles. Participating merchants are also offering holiday discounts for Seeker users.

Solana Mobile began shipping its second-generation Seeker smartphones, featuring blockchain capabilities and a security-enhanced hardware solution, in August.

MoonPay acquired Helio, a prominent Solana payment service, for $175 million, aiming to enhance crypto payment solutions for merchants and creators.

Earlier this year, Solana Mobile introduced its second crypto phone, the Seeker, which includes advanced hardware over its Saga predecessor and aims to further integrate crypto functionalities into mobile technology.

Solana Mobile is set to initiate a major launch season for its Seeker phone, with extensive pre-orders driven by token airdrop anticipations, emphasizing mobiles role in the crypto industry.

Last month, Fin secured $17 million in Series A funding to develop a stablecoin-powered payments platform leveraging Solanas infrastructure to optimize transaction efficiency.
