Seeker Club: how to join the Solana Seeker owners chat

The Seeker Club is the largest group chat for Solana Seeker owners, and it lives on Cherry, the wallet-to-wallet messenger and community app for crypto. Entry is gated by a .skr name, which only a Seeker can claim, so everyone inside owns the phone. As of 11 September 2026 the room has 8,637 members, 58,193 messages, and a 4.9-star rating from 41 member reviews. This guide is for a Seeker owner who wants in: what the club is, what the gate checks, and the five steps from a fresh phone to your first message.

What the Seeker Club is

The Seeker Club (@seekerclub, https://chat.cherry.fun/@seekerclub ) is a public, .skr-gated group where Seeker owners share feedback on the phone, test apps, trade ideas, and talk to the builders shipping for Solana Mobile. The storefront lists early access to drops, demos, and alpha as the member benefits, and two rules: referral links get you banned, and be nice.

Cherry hosts it because Cherry is the app Seekers already open. As of September 2026, Cherry is #1 on the Seeker dApp Store with 4.8 stars from 4,000+ reviews, about 3K daily active users, and about 31% D30 retention, with 10K+ Seeker owners across its communities. Solana Mobile reported 75K+ .skr names claimed by October 2025, so the pool of eligible wallets is far larger than the room.

The gate is the point. On Telegram a “Seekers only” group is a name and a hope; anyone with the invite link is in, and the verify bot, if there is one, is a third-party service asking you to connect a wallet on a website. On Cherry the room itself checks the chain: the gating rule is ownership of a .skr name, read on-chain when you join, and because .skr is soulbound Cherry verifies it once at that moment and does not ask again. Read how the rule types fit together on the token-gated chat page.

A second Seeker-only room exists for Chinese-speaking owners: SEEKER 中文, with 2,707 members as of September 2026, also gated to Seeker owners and explicitly not an official Solana Mobile channel.

Before you start

You need three things, all on the phone.

• A Solana Seeker with the Seed Vault Wallet set up. Cherry signs you in with Sign In With Solana, so the wallet is your account; there is no phone number, email, or KYC step.
• A .skr name claimed by the wallet you will sign in with. This is the only rule the room checks. If your .skr sits in a different wallet than the one you connect, the rule fails.
• A wallet that is not brand new. Cherry’s wallet-age gate stops fresh wallets from posting in public groups (they can still read). A wallet that has claimed a .skr and used the Seeker for a while clears it.

Step 1: Install Cherry from the Solana dApp Store

Open the Solana dApp Store on your Seeker, search for Cherry, and install it. The listing is the same Cherry app that runs on iOS, Android, and the web; on Android, including the Seeker, sign-in runs through the Seed Vault Wallet over Mobile Wallet Adapter.

You know it worked when the Cherry icon is on your home screen and the app opens.

Step 2: Sign in with the Seed Vault Wallet

Tap connect and choose the Seed Vault Wallet. The Seed Vault asks you to approve one Sign In With Solana message signature, and Cherry derives your encryption keys from that signature. Nothing goes on-chain and there is no gas. Your .skr name becomes your display name in chat.

You know it worked when your .skr name (or the wallet address, if you have no name yet) shows at the top of the Cherry chat list, and the Cherry Announcements channel is already in it.

Step 3: Open the Seeker Club storefront

Either search “Seeker Club” in the app’s public room search, or open https://chat.cherry.fun/@seekerclub , the same storefront on the web. The storefront shows the cover, the description, the member and message counts, the reviews summary, and the requirement line: a .skr name.

Before you join, the storefront checks the .skr rule against your connected wallet and shows whether you pass.

You know it worked when the requirement shows as passing next to your wallet.

Step 4: Join and send your first message

Press Join. Because the only rule is a soulbound domain, there is no payment leg and no waiting: membership activates as soon as the check passes. Read the two rules in the description, then post. Reactions, images and GIFs, @mentions of .skr and .sol names, and bot commands all work in the room.

One honest caveat that applies here and in every Cherry group: group chats are not end-to-end encrypted, by design, so moderation and bots can work. DMs between members are end-to-end encrypted with keys derived from your wallet. If you want to take a conversation private, tap a member’s name and DM their wallet .

You know it worked when your message appears in the room under your .skr name.

Step 5: Use the room like a Seeker

Three things members do that a Telegram group cannot:

• Open mini apps without leaving the chat. The Trading Terminal mini app (@trade) covers spot swaps, perps, and tokenized stocks inside Cherry; Polymarket prediction markets run in the @predict mini app; and as of September 2026 the Mini App SDK also runs inside third-party apps such as SeekerGram and Seeker Legends. See mini apps .
• Claim drops aimed at verified owners. Teams run airdrop campaigns across Cherry communities, including verified Seeker audiences, with quest-style eligibility (hold an asset, be on a list, complete a task the team verifies).
• Reach a builder directly. The storefront promises a “direct line to builders shipping for Solana Mobile”, and any member’s wallet can be DMed from the room.

Troubleshooting

The .skr rule shows as failing. The most common cause is signing in with a wallet that does not hold the name. Cherry checks whichever wallet is connected, so disconnect and reconnect with the Seed Vault account that claimed the .skr. If the name was claimed minutes ago, wait and retry. A moment when Cherry cannot read the chain never counts against you as a failed rule.

You are in but cannot post. Your wallet tripped the wallet-age gate for brand-new wallets. It lifts on its own as the wallet ages; there is no form to fill in.

You can read the room but the content is withheld. That is the paywall state, and it does not apply to a domain-only room like the Seeker Club. If you see it, you are in a different, paid room; check the storefront’s requirement line.

You do not own a Seeker. There is no route into the Seeker Club, and invites from regular members do not bypass the rule. The rest of Cherry is open to any Solana wallet: public rooms, .sol-gated rooms such as SNS Club (1,455 members as of 10 September 2026), and NFT-gated chats .

You sold or replaced your Seeker. The .skr name is soulbound to the wallet that claimed it, and Cherry verifies soulbound names once at join time rather than re-checking them, so access follows that wallet, not the phone.

You are on iOS or the web, not the Seeker. The gate is evaluated against the wallet, so the same wallet passes anywhere Cherry runs. Signing that wallet in outside the Seeker depends on how you access the Seed Vault, and Seed Vault access outside the Seeker is a Solana Mobile matter.

How do I join the Seeker Club?

Install Cherry from the Solana dApp Store on your Seeker, sign in with the Seed Vault Wallet, open chat.cherry.fun/@seekerclub or search for Seeker Club in the app, and press Join. Cherry checks that your wallet owns a .skr name and lets you in.

Do I need a .skr name to join?

Yes. The room’s only gating rule is ownership of a .skr name. Claim yours on the Seeker first, then join with the same wallet.

Is the Seeker Club Seeker-only?

Yes. A .skr name is soulbound and can only be claimed from a Seeker, so the room stays limited to owners. There is no invite link that bypasses the rule for regular members.

Own a Seeker? Open chat.cherry.fun/@seekerclub and join with your .skr.
