## Team / Description

## About SeekerVault

Every one of the **150,000+ Solana Seeker phones** ships with 128GB of storage — but zero decentralized backup. Right now, those users are forced onto Google Drive and iCloud. That's insane.

**SeekerVault fixes this.** We're the native encrypted storage layer for Seeker, built on Walrus + Seal. But we're not just a backup tool — we're building the **data monetization protocol** for mobile crypto.

**Here's the vision:**
1. 📦 **Encrypted Backup** — Replace iCloud for 150K+ Seeker users. Client-side encryption, decentralized storage. Your keys, your data.
2. 🤖 **AI Agent Vault** — As AI apps flood the Seeker ecosystem, agents will need persistent, encrypted memory. SeekerVault is the secure storage layer for agent context, model outputs, and private data — where no platform can read, revoke, or mine your AI interactions.
3. 🏪 **Creator Vaults** — Token-gated content stores where creators sell encrypted files, research, alpha — directly to subscribers. No middlemen. No deplatforming.
4. 💰 **Data Marketplace** — A decentralized storefront where anyone can list and sell digital content on-chain.

### Why This Wins

- **150K+ captive users** — Every Seeker owner needs backup. We're the only decentralized option.
- **AI-ready infrastructure** — Mobile AI is exploding. Every on-device agent needs somewhere to store memory, context, and outputs. SeekerVault is that layer — encrypted and decentralized.
- **Working product** 
- **Revenue from Day 1** — 20MB free tier → 100GB for $10/month payable in SKR. Subscription revenue feeds the treasury.
- **SKV utility unlock** — Post-funding, we integrate SKV as a payment option with **discounted storage pricing**. Pay with SKV = cheaper plans. Direct buy pressure from real usage.
- **Creator flywheel** — Every creator who shares their Vault link brings new users organically. This is a growth engine, not just a storage tool.

### Why Hold $SKV?

This is what makes SeekerVault a **token play**, not just a utility app:

1. **Discount utility** — Users who pay with SKV get reduced storage pricing. This creates direct, ongoing demand for the token from real users.
2. **Subscription revenue** — Primary payments in SKR feed the treasury. SKV payments add a second revenue stream with built-in buy pressure.
3. **AI storage demand** — As AI agents ship on Seeker, every app that needs encrypted memory drives storage usage. More agents = more subscriptions = more token demand.
4. **Creator economy tax** — % of every storefront transaction flows to the DAO treasury.
5. **150K pre-built TAM** — Seeker owners are already crypto-native. Adoption friction = near zero..
6. **Treasury grows with usage** — More users + more AI agents = more subscriptions = more revenue to the DAO.
