Solana Mobile launches SKR Jan 21; up to 20% for Seeker users
Solana Mobile plans to launch its SKR token on Jan. 21 at 2 am UTC, with up to 20% of the supply to be airdropped to Solana Seeker smartphone users. The company said holders will be able to delegate SKR to newly introduced “Guardians,” who will help secure the Solana network, verify devices, and curate the decentralized app store.
Users who delegate tokens will be eligible for rewards and will gain access to select in-app features. Solana Mobile’s general manager, Emmett Hollyer, said the token is intended to let participants influence the platform’s governance and economics, adding that the airdrop represents the initial step in that process.
Solana Mobile reported that the first Seeker Season has ended, citing more than 265 dApps, 9 million transactions, and $2.6 billion in volume, with contributions from 100,000+ participants. The Seeker, introduced in August as the company’s second blockchain-enabled phone, follows the Saga, for which software and security support ended in October.
The company is positioning Seeker to expand access to decentralized applications, payments, and token ownership on mobile, presenting an alternative to the dominant mobile app ecosystems.
57% of SKR set to unlock at launch
According to Solana Mobile’s website, 30% of airdrops will be unlocked at launch, with two-thirds of that tranche allocated to Solana Seeker users and developers. In addition, 2.7 billion SKR, or 27% of the 10 billion total supply, will unlock during the token generation event.
Of the 2.7 billion SKR, 1 billion will go to the community treasury, 1 billion to liquidity, and 700 million to growth and partnerships. The Solana Mobile team and Solana Labs have been allocated 15% and 10% of SKR, respectively.
Guardians will debut alongside the SKR launch, with infrastructure providers Anza, DoubleZero, Helius, and Jito among the initial participants guiding Seeker’s development.
