Seeker Season is entering its second month, and we’re getting to see the future of web3 mobile in action. The Solana ecosystem is going mobile — everything from DEXes and DeFi to gaming, stablecoins, to lifestyle and health and fitness apps. There are now over 160 dApps available in the Solana dApp Store, with more entering the fray every day.
As part of Seeker Season, new Solana dApps are releasing exclusive access, rewards, and benefits in the dApp Store every week. It all kicked off with boosted rewards on health and fitness dApp Moonwalk Fitness and a 10% APY boost on stablebanking dApp Perena. There's a lot happening, and you can keep track of all the exclusives on SolanaFloor's Seeker Hub tracker.
Let’s take a look at some of the Seeker Season Featured dApps that you can find in the Solana dApp Store right now.
Parallel Colony
Early access to the long-awaited Parallel Colony is now exclusively available on the Solana Seeker for the next 3 months.
Colony is a first-of-its-kind AI game where you work with Parallel Avatars to overcome challenges that threaten your Colony’s existence. Accumulate resources, construct buildings, level-up core skills, protect your crew from threats and craft unique items to make your Colony thrive.

We're thrilled to introduce the Solana Mobile Builder Grants program, running alongside the Colosseum Cypherpunk Hackathon. To accelerate the development of exceptional mobile experiences on Solana, we're selecting up to 10 teams to receive $10,000 builder grants for mobile-focused dApps.
We'll be evaluating Colosseum hackathon submissions with an eye for mobile integration and optimization. Your submission should make it clear that mobile is central to your vision. So if you're building mobile-first, don't forget to check the mobile box on your submission form.
What Selected Teams Receive
Recipients of the builder grants will receive funding and much more! Each selected team receives:
- $10,000 grant to be used to build the submitted dApp
- Marketing support to amplify your dApp launch
- Launch support as you bring your dApp to market
We'll also work closely with you throughout your journey to launching on the Solana dApp Store. Please note that grant recipients are determined after dApps are submitted to the Solana dAppStore and at Solana Mobile’s sole discretion. Additional terms and conditions will apply.
The opportunity in mobile has never been bigger, and we can't wait to see what you build. Good luck to all participants in the Cypherpunk Hackathon. Let's push the boundaries of what's possible with mobile-first crypto applications.
