Solana Mobile is taking another significant step in its mobile Web3 strategy with the upcoming launch of the SKR token, scheduled for January 21. The announcement marks a pivotal moment for the Solana Seeker smartphone ecosystem, offering new incentives for users and developers actively participating in Solana’s mobile-first vision.
SKR Token Launch and Airdrop Structure
The SKR token will officially go live on January 21 at 02:00 UTC. At launch, up to 20% of the total token supply will be distributed through an airdrop targeting Solana Seeker users and ecosystem developers. On day one, 30% of the total supply will be unlocked, with two-thirds of that allocation dedicated specifically to the Seeker ecosystem.
A key component of the SKR rollout is the introduction of Guardians, a new delegation model within the network. Users will be able to delegate their SKR tokens to these Guardians, who are responsible for securing the network, validating devices, and helping curate the decentralized application marketplace. In return, token holders gain access to rewards and exclusive in-app functionalities.
The first ever Seeker Season has concluded, with over 265 dApps, 9 million transactions, and $2.6 billion in volume.
Thank you to the 100,000+ Seekers who participated.

Solana Seeker and the Mobile Web3 Vision
The Solana Seeker represents Solana Mobile’s second blockchain-powered smartphone, designed to seamlessly integrate decentralized applications, crypto payments, and digital asset ownership into everyday mobile use. While support for the original Solana Saga device ended in October, Seeker has shown stronger adoption and broader ecosystem engagement.
According to shared metrics, the Seeker ecosystem has processed 9 million transactions across 265 decentralized applications, generating approximately $2.6 billion in trading volume. These figures are driven by a growing base of over 100,000 active users, highlighting increasing traction for Solana’s mobile initiative.
Token Distribution and Guardian Network
SKR has a fixed total supply of 10 billion tokens. During the token generation event, 2.7 billion SKR (27%) will be unlocked. Of this amount, 1 billion tokens are allocated to the community treasury, 1 billion to liquidity provisioning, and 700 million to growth initiatives and strategic partnerships. The Solana Mobile team will receive 15%, while 10% is allocated to Solana Labs.
The Guardian network will initially include well-known Solana infrastructure providers such as Anza, DoubleZero, Helius, and Jito, all of which will play a role in guiding the long-term development of the Seeker ecosystem.
A Strategic Challenge to Mobile App Gatekeepers
With this move, Solana Mobile continues to position itself as an alternative to the dominant mobile platforms controlled by Apple and Google. The SKR token launch reinforces Solana’s broader goal of expanding user choice, empowering developers, and redefining how decentralized applications are distributed and monetized on mobile devices.
