Solana Mobile’s Emmett Hollyer joins to talk about the Seeker phone, and former prosecutor Sam Enzer breaks down the partial Roman Storm conviction.

This week’s episode features two big stories.

📱 First, Solana Mobile has begun shipping the Seeker, its second-generation crypto smartphone. Emmett Hollyer, GM of Solana Mobile, joins to explain:


What’s new in the Seeker and how it compares to the Saga


Why he says it’s the most secure phone for crypto


How Seed Vault, Seeker ID, and the SKR token could reshape crypto identity, incentives, and adoption

⚖️ Then, we unpack the Roman Storm verdict. The Tornado Cash co-founder was found guilty on just one of three charges. Former prosecutor Sam Enzer explains:


Why the outcome is seen as a partial win for crypto


Why Storm has strong grounds to fight the verdict


What this means for developers building privacy tools and open-source software


And whether the remaining conviction might be overturned
