Zero decentralized backup. We're fixing that. +- Funding target: $50,000.00 +- Total committed: $2,095.00 +- Status: Refunding +- Launch date: 2026-03-08 +- URL: https://www.futard.io/launch/7AMzZD3JZ15FCX2eoC17KgJD5Ywum9J5i7E9BAbgc2vi + +## 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. + +--- + +## Use of Funds + +| Category | Monthly | Purpose | +|----------|---------|---------| +| Engineering | $4,000 | Core dev: encryption, storage, mobile UX | +| Infrastructure | $3,000 | Walrus nodes, Seal integration, hosting | +| Growth & BD | $1,000 | Seeker community partnerships, creator onboarding | +| **Total** | **$8,000/mo** | | + +**Runway: 6+ months** to dApp Store listing + Creator Vaults launch. + +--- + +## Roadmap & Milestones + +#### Phase 1 — Ship It (Month 1-2) +- ✅ Solana dApp Store listing (currently in review) +- ✅ Storage subscription live: 20MB free / 100GB Pro +- ✅ Auto-sync for Seeker device backup + +#### Phase 2 — Creator Economy (Month 3-4) +- 🏪 Token-gated Content Vaults +- 🔐 Permissioned sharing via Seal access policies +- 📊 Creator analytics dashboard + +#### Phase 3 — Marketplace (Month 5-6) +- 🛒 Data Storefront launch +- 💱 SKV-powered marketplace transactions +- 📱 Cross-device sync + expanded storage tiers + +--- + +## Market & Differentiation + +**Target Market:** +- 150K+ Seeker device owners (primary — captive audience, zero competition) +- Web3 creators seeking un-deplatformable content delivery +- Alpha groups needing encrypted distribution + +**Why Not Alternatives?** + +| | SeekerVault | Google Drive | Arweave | IPFS | +|---|---|---|---|---| +| Encrypted by default | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | +| Seeker native | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | +| Content monetization | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | +| Un-deplatformable | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ | +| Mobile UX | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | + +**Competitive moat:** We're the ONLY encrypted storage built natively for Seeker hardware.
