Solana Mobile opens Seeker Summer Round 4 with MINE by Offline Protocol

In Brief:

• Solana Mobile started Seeker Summer Round 4 with MINE by Offline Protocol, live now in the Solana dApp Store.
• The first two quests ask players to connect a Seed Vault Wallet and mine the mesh network for 10 minutes.
• Round 4 is the final two-week round of a campaign that has already allocated 81 million SKR across three rounds.

Solana Mobile opened Seeker Summer Round 4 with MINE by Offline Protocol, and the app is live in the Solana dApp Store.

Two quests are up. “Signal Found” asks players to connect a Seed Vault Wallet. “Start Digging” requires mining the mesh network for 10 minutes.

Round 4 closes out a campaign that runs July 7 through Aug. 30 under Seeker Season 2. The format is four rounds of two weeks each, four hand-picked apps per round, with one new app revealed per day. Each app carries two quests, and clearing one earns a badge stamped with the app, the quest and the date. Badges sit in the dApp Store and in the Seed Vault Wallet’s Activity Tracking tab.

What MINE does

MINE turns a handset into a relay node. It moves messages and data over Bluetooth and WiFi Direct with no internet connection required, and users tap Start Mining on the home screen to begin discovering nearby devices. A low-power background service keeps it going when the app is minimized, marked by a persistent “Mesh Active” notification.

Points come from several directions. Daily, weekly and monthly missions pay bonuses. Stepping into flagged zones on the network map triggers geo missions tied to location. Daily streaks multiply earnings, referral codes and QR shares pay when friends sign up, and there’s a global leaderboard.

Wallet linking accepts Ethereum or Solana addresses. Points are tracked for future on-chain distribution, and there is no live token. The app requests Bluetooth, background location and notification permissions.

The SKR math so far

Solana Mobile allocated 29 million SKR to Round 3 participants, with claims opening Aug. 13 at 4 p.m. UTC in the Seed Vault Wallet. Round 2 drew 27 million and Round 1 drew 25 million, each round adding 2 million to the one before it. That’s 81 million SKR over three rounds.

Round 4’s allocation hasn’t been announced.

Round 1 paid in tiers of 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 tokens, and claiming stayed open for 30 days. More than half of that first allocation went straight into staking. Staked SKR is delegated to Guardians, the node operators responsible for verifying Seeker hardware and reviewing dApp Store submissions.

Earlier rounds

Round 3 ran eight quests across four apps: Titan Exchange, LootGO, Game Terminal and PumpvilleWorld. Round 2 led with Moonwalk Fitness (official site), where “Fuel Up” required depositing 100 MF token and converting it to credits, and “Solo Run” required creating and participating in at least one new Solo game. Round 1 featured TokenRun by GEODNET.

Offline Protocol’s numbers

Offline Protocol’s site puts its footprint at more than 350,000 devices across more than 80 countries, more than 10,000 active mesh clusters and more than 9,000 SDK downloads. It lists OfflineID identities issued at more than 300,000. All of those figures come from the project.

Routing runs through DORS, which operates Bluetooth LE, WiFi Direct, internet, Reticulum and Nostr at the same time and scores each link live so traffic follows whatever path works. It supports eight-hop relay and encrypts sessions with MLS, published as RFC 9420. Switching between real-time links completes in under a second.

MINE is one of seven core products in the Offline Protocol 2.0 stack. The others include OfflineID, OfflinePay for device-to-device transactions, Proof of Location and Diffuse, a hyperlocal journalism product built around verifiable source aggregation. Proof of Location is being built as an AVS with EigenCloud.

The company frames its pitch against outage data: 313 internet shutdowns across 52 countries in 2025, and $19.7 billion in blackout losses to the global economy.

Portal Ventures, an investor in the project, said “The vision of Offline Protocol is particularly contrarian.”
