The goal of Seeker is to build a top tier mobile ecosystem that can compete with Google and Apple. Crypto is the wedge to do it. TeePIN is the implementation. Chance of failure - nearly certain, opportunity - enormous. Imagine you could clone Apple, all their hardware and design and software, everything except for their OS root certificates. The clones would look and feel exactly like iPhones but because they don’t have the same root certificate they will be out of network. They will have green bubbles. They will need to bootstrap their own apps and users. Apple’s network effects and business models are enforced not with a pen or the sword, but with cryptography and the TEE hardware on device. This is an incredibly powerful tool, and it’s basically just math and a bit of silicon. The root certificate can be implemented onchain in a solana program. From a high level: * All the hardware has TEEs and will only boot a verified OS image * The root certificate is managed by a DAO on chain * The DAO can decide all the rules and business models for everything in the OS TEEs basically extend the trusted domain from the programs running onchain to the physical device in people’s hands. The onchain program can then enforce what software is run on device, what devices are in network, what are out, and all the business models on the device and how they deliver value to users, or capture value. It’s possible to decentralize one of the most important parts of Apple. But there is more! Within the trusted domain a ton of new things become possible. For example, if the TEE generates its own keys that are guaranteed to never be leaked, it can implement its own double spend protection completely off line. Users could send or receive tokens or even execute contracts without touching the chain or waiting for it to finalize. 🫖📌
