Growing hand in hand with this connectivity has been the public’s consciousness and concern for the security and privacy of their data, as well as their awareness of the suboptimally centralized nature of many of our legacy systems. 

Intriguingly, however, it is mobile devices, the source and driver of many of society’s privacy and security issues, that may hold the key to realizing a more decentralized and secure digital future via decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN). Smartphones, with their omnipresence, advanced capabilities, and seamless connectivity, provide the perfect platform to support and expand decentralized infrastructure and distributed networks.

Among its features, Seeker includes an upgraded crypto wallet and new reward mechanisms that are specifically tailored toward unlocking the transformational potential of DePIN.
