Solana Mobile has kicked off an airdrop of its new token, SKR, giving Seeker smartphone users — and some early app developers — a chance to claim a stake in the growing Solana mobile ecosystem.
The airdrop will run for 90 days and is open to more than 100,000 eligible users, according to the company. SKR is positioned as the token that ties together governance, rewards, and economic activity across Solana’s mobile platform.
“Seeker and SKR are a bet that there’s another way for mobile,” Solana Mobile said in a statement. “The people who use the network should own the network.”
How the Airdrop Works
Seeker phone owners can claim their SKR directly through the phone’s built-in wallet. Any tokens that aren’t claimed within the 90-day window will be returned to the airdrop pool.
The distribution isn’t limited to hardware users. Developers who launched what Solana Mobile describes as “quality apps” on the Solana dApp Store during Season 1 are also included — a move aimed at rewarding early builders who helped bootstrap the ecosystem.
What SKR Is For
SKR is the core token behind Solana Mobile’s incentives and governance. It has a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens, with 30% allocated to airdrops and initial unlocks at launch.
The company says this structure is meant to reward early participation while keeping long-term issuance under control.
Recipients are encouraged to stake their tokens. According to project documentation, SKR inflation is released every 48 hours, starting at 10% annually and dropping by 25% each year until it settles at 2%, where it will remain.
Season 2 Expands the Seeker Ecosystem
The token launch lines up with the start of Seeker Season 2, which introduces new apps, rewards, and early-access programs.
The focus spans decentralized finance, gaming, payments, trading, and decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) — signaling Solana Mobile’s push to turn Seeker into more than just a crypto-friendly phone.
Building on the Saga Playbook
Seeker is Solana Mobile’s second device, following the earlier Saga smartphone. Like its predecessor, it runs Android and comes preloaded with crypto-native features, including hardware-backed key storage through Seed Vault and access to a dedicated Solana dApp Store.
In August, Solana Mobile said it had received around 150,000 preorders for Seeker, with shipments planned to more than 50 countries.
Each Seeker also includes a Genesis NFT, which gives owners access to future airdrops, exclusive content, and ecosystem rewards — with SKR always intended to be at the center of that experience.
Market Reaction
At the time of publication, SKR was trading at $0.01062, up 54% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko.
For Solana Mobile, the launch is another step toward a simple idea: if phones are becoming gateways to crypto, the people using them should share in the upside.
