Sprouts, a savings app for the Seeker phone, has won the $30,000 grand prize in CLOCK IN, the Solana Mobile hackathon, RadiantsDAO announced on 10 November 2026. RadiantsDAO ran the hackathon with Solana Mobile. Eleven teams split $135,000 in prizes, and 659 teams took part, according to RadiantsDAO and Solana Mobile's own announcement. Every winner is a mobile-first app built for Seeker, and most of them move money.
Solana Mobile CLOCK IN hackathon winners and prize amounts
Ten teams share $125,000 in USDC, and an eleventh prize of $10,000 is paid in SKR, Solana Mobile's token, according to the official CLOCK IN page. The descriptions below follow RadiantsDAO's winners thread.
| Place | App | What it does | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Sprouts | Rounds up leftover "dust" from Solana swaps into savings, shown as a growing garden | $30,000 USDC |
| 2nd | Vanna | Borrowing, lending and leveraged trading, with positions managed under one account health factor | $25,000 USDC |
| 3rd | Glyf | Payments, token swaps, live prices and suggestions inside the phone's keyboard | $20,000 USDC |
| 4th | Battle Cities | Multiplayer 3D tank battles with leaderboards and an SKR-powered shop | $15,000 USDC |
| 5th | Gali | An island game built around ORE mining, with roaming miners, a shared lobby and mini-games | $10,000 USDC |
| 6th-10th | Polaris, Envelope, Mobiloot, OnePlan Travel, Beatking | Credit, private payments, mobile plans, travel planning and a rhythm game | $5,000 USDC each |
| SKR prize | Paytience | Lets users set a target price and execution time for SKR trades, earning yield while they wait | $10,000 in SKR |
Gali also won the bonus track run by ORE ORE$97.85-8.5%, the Solana mining project, RadiantsDAO said. SolanaFloor reports that the ORE prize matched Gali's $10,000, taking its total to $20,000.
Sprouts, Vanna and Glyf: savings, lending and payments on Seeker
The top three apps all take a financial habit people already have on their phones and move it on-chain. Sprouts works like the round-up savings feature in banking apps: it rounds up the dust, the tiny leftover amounts from your Solana swaps, into savings, and a garden on screen grows as the balance does. Swaps can also leave empty token accounts behind, and those accounts still hold a small deposit their owners can get back.
Vanna, in second place, brings borrowing, lending and leveraged trading to Seeker, with every position tracked against a single account health score. Glyf, third, puts payments, swaps and live prices into the phone's keyboard, so users no longer have to switch between apps to pay or trade, RadiantsDAO said. The lower places follow the same pattern: Polaris offers "Pay in 4" instalments and an on-chain credit score, Envelope handles private payments and shared event pots, and OnePlan Travel settles shared trip expenses in USDC.
Where the SKR token fits in the winning apps
SKR shows up in winning apps beyond Paytience, the $10,000 integration prize winner. Battle Cities sells items in an SKR-powered shop, and Polaris uses SKR for rewards, collateral and repayments, according to RadiantsDAO. Solana Mobile made the SKR integration optional and kept it separate from the USDC prize pool, the CLOCK IN page says, so both teams chose to build on the token while competing for the USDC prizes. SKR has more than 50,000 holders, according to Solana Compass token data on 10 November.
The hackathon adds to Solana Mobile's other recent work on SKR and Seeker apps. Since 15 October the company has been using fees to buy and burn SKR every day, and in October it shipped a one-tap "Connect with Seeker" wallet kit for app developers.
CLOCK IN rules, judges and dApp Store prizes
Submissions opened on 8 September 2026 and closed on 8 October, giving teams one month, according to the CLOCK IN page. Each entry needed a working Android app file, a GitHub repository, a demo video and a pitch deck, and teams did not need to own a Seeker to build. Judges, who included Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko and Mert Mumtaz of Helius, scored apps on stickiness, user experience, innovation and presentation.
The prizes go beyond cash. Winning teams get featured placement in the Solana dApp Store, co-marketing support, Seeker devices and a call with Yakovenko. Winners must also publish their app on the dApp Store to claim their prize, the CLOCK IN page says, so the eleven winning apps are due to reach Seeker owners through the store.
The thing to watch is how many of the eleven appear in the dApp Store over the coming weeks, and whether they keep users after launch. Stickiness was the first judging criterion on the CLOCK IN page.
