AlpenSign turns the Solana Seeker phone — a Web3-native smartphone with hardware-secured key storage — into a Mobile HSM — an independent, client-side device that seals bank payments and Visa/Mastercard 3D-Secure transactions with biometric confirmation and posts the proof to an immutable public ledger.
No bank server. No Apple. No Google. No AlpenSign backend.
The Seeker phone signs, TEEPINTEEPIN (Trusted Execution Environment Platform Infrastructure Network) is a foundational technology architecture developed for the Solana Seeker. It decentralizes mobile device verification by replacing central authorities (Apple/Google) with cryptographic verification backed by economic stakes. Independent Guardians stake SKR tokens to attest that each device's secure element is genuine and untampered. attests, Solana records. The proof lives on a public ledger, not only on the bank's server.

Two walkthroughs on the Solana Seeker phone: enrollment first, then payment sealing.
Each layer adds independence from centralized trust and strength of evidence in dispute.
When a client disputes a payment, the bank's defense rests on server logs they generated, stored, and control. That's self-serving evidence. Courts know it. Regulators know it. Fraudsters know it.
AlpenSign creates an independent evidence chain — from verified hardware through verified identity to immutable proof of authorization.
The Seeker's soulbound NFT proves the phone is real hardware, verified by SKR-staked Guardians through TEEPIN. No Apple. No Google. No centralized attestation.
Soulbound NFT · Non-transferableThe bank issues a credential via Solana Attestation Service to the Seeker wallet, binding the client relationship to the verified device. Revocable by the bank.
SAS Attestation · RevocableClient reviews payment details on-device, confirms with biometric. The Seeker's secure element signs and the proof is posted to Solana. Permanent. Immutable.
Biometric + Secure ElementBank checks: Genesis Token (real device) + credential (our client) + seal (biometric confirmed). Independent evidence chain. The burden of proof shifts — the client must explain away a cryptographic seal they created.
"Banks today outsource their mobile security to the walled gardens of Big Tech (Apple and Google).
AlpenSign returns that control to the institution by anchoring hardware integrity directly into Solana's neutral consensus layer."
Traditional device attestation depends on Apple or Google saying “this phone is genuine.” TEEPIN replaces that with economic skin-in-the-game: independent Guardians stake SKR tokens to attest Seeker hardware integrity. If a Guardian falsely attests a compromised device, they lose their stake. For banks, this means the device behind every AlpenSign seal is verified by a decentralized network with real financial consequences — not by a vendor’s promise.
SKR-staked Guardians independently verify that each Seeker’s Trusted Execution Environment is untampered. No single entity controls attestation, and no single entity can revoke it.
Device integrity isn’t just a technical claim — it’s backed by staked capital. Fraudulent attestation means slashing. This gives banks a trust anchor that doesn’t depend on AlpenSign, Apple, or Google remaining cooperative.

Building the demo backend and Solana integration layer.
Anthropic Claude and Google Gemini
AlpenSign's architecture aligns with existing and emerging regulatory frameworks for electronic signatures, data protection, and financial services compliance.
Hardware-isolated key storage with biometric-gated signing. Keys never leave the secure element. The Genesis Token anchors device identity on-chain.
On-chain attestation protocol for issuing verifiable credentials and transaction seals. AlpenSign uses SAS for both bank credential binding and payment seal records. No custom smart contracts needed.
Native wallet integration via Mobile Wallet Adapter (MWA), dApp runtime, and TEEPIN device verification. The Seeker is the only phone where secure signing and Solana attestation are integrated at the OS level.
Trusted Execution Environment Platform Infrastructure Network. SKR-staked Guardians verify device authenticity — the economic security layer behind the Genesis Token.
We're looking for Solana developers, security engineers, and anyone who believes banking shouldn't depend on one company's goodwill.
