## What it does

This skill guides the two-step verification process for Solana Seeker devices. The user proves wallet ownership with Sign-in-with-Solana (SIWS), and the backend checks the wallet's Token-2022 accounts for the Seeker Genesis Token (SGT). Verifying only the wallet address fails because an attacker can submit another person's public key.

All entitlement decisions stay on the server. The mobile app signs the server-generated payload using `useMobileWallet` from `@wallet-ui/react-native-kit`. On the backend, signature checks use `@solana/kit` and `@solana/wallet-standard-util`, while SGT verification relies on `@solana-mobile/skr-genesis-token`. Testing requires a physical Seeker device because emulators cannot hold an SGT. For local development, you must prepare an allowlist bypass in your backend code.

# Seeker Genesis Token verification

The Seeker Genesis Token (SGT) is a Token-2022 NFT minted once per Seeker device. Holding one
is evidence of owning a Seeker, which makes it useful for gating rewards and for
one-claim-per-device logic.

Verification has two halves, and **both are required**:

1. **Prove the user controls the wallet** — Sign-in-with-Solana (SIWS)
2. **Prove that wallet holds an SGT** — inspect the wallet's Token-2022 mints

Doing only the second means anyone can submit a real Seeker owner's public address and pass.
Doing only the first proves wallet control but says nothing about a device.

## This must run on a server

**Never decide entitlement client-side.** A client can be patched, so a client-side `hasSGT`
boolean is worth nothing. The client's job is to collect a signature; the server verifies it
and owns the result.

Requirements:

- A backend you control that can make Solana mainnet RPC calls
- Storage for nonces and claim records
- A mainnet RPC endpoint. A paid provider helps, since the check reads every Token-2022 account
  the wallet holds — keep that key server-side only, never in an `EXPO_PUBLIC_*` variable

## Prerequisites

A working wallet connection. If the app has none, use the `solana-mobile-wallet` skill first;
this skill assumes `useMobileWallet()` is available.

Testing needs a physical Seeker device — an emulator cannot hold an SGT. Plan for a code path
you can exercise without one, such as a server-side allowlist in development.

## Step 1: issue the payload from the server

The server issues the **whole** SIWS payload, not just a nonce, and stores it under the nonce
with a short TTL. Every field the client supplies is a field an attacker chooses, and each one
is fed straight to the signature check, so pin them all at issue time.

```ts
// POST /api/siws/nonce
const issuedAt = new Date()
const nonce = crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('hex')

const payload = {
  chainId: 'solana:mainnet',
  domain: 'yourdapp.com',
  expirationTime: new Date(issuedAt.getTime() + 300_000).toISOString(),
  issuedAt: issuedAt.toISOString(),
  nonce,
  statement: 'Sign in to verify Seeker ownership',
  uri: 'https://yourdapp.com',
  version: '1',
}

await store.put(nonce, payload, { ttlSeconds: 300 })
return payload
```

The nonce must be **server-generated, single-use, and short-lived**. A client-generated or
