Solana Seeker phone users will soon receive a direct role in a growing mobile crypto ecosystem. On Jan. 21, Solana Mobile will launch the SKR token and open an airdrop tied to its Seeker smartphone. The move links device ownership with network participation and rewards.
It also introduces a new security and governance layer built around delegated tokens. For Seeker users, the launch marks a shift from hardware access to onchain involvement.

Solana Seeker Phone Users Can Claim SKR Token on Jan. 21

Solana Mobile confirmed that the SKR token will launch on Jan. 21 at 2:00 am UTC. Owners of the Solana Seeker smartphone will be eligible to claim a share of the airdrop. Up to 20% of the total SKR supply has been reserved for Seeker users and developers.

The token claim process will allow users to delegate SKR to network participants called Guardians. Delegation will support device verification and decentralized app store curation. Users who delegate tokens will earn rewards and unlock specific in-app features.

Solana Mobile general manager Emmett Hollyer said the token gives users a governance role.
“SKR will give all of the people who have gotten us to this point the opportunity to influence the success of this platform,” Hollyer said. He added that the airdrop represents the first step in shared platform control.

SKR Token Supply and Day-One Distribution Structure

According to Solana Mobile, 57% of SKR will be distributed or unlocked on the first day. A total of 10 billion SKR tokens have been created as the maximum supply. About 2.7 billion tokens, or 27%, will unlock during the token generation event.

Of the unlocked amount, 1 billion SKR will go to the community treasury. Another 1 billion tokens will be allocated to liquidity pools. Roughly 700 million tokens will support growth and partnership initiatives.

Airdrops will unlock 30% at launch, based on published token details. Two-thirds of that allocation will go to Solana Seeker users and developers. The remaining portion will be released under later schedules tied to participation.

The Solana Mobile team has been allocated 15% of the total SKR supply. Solana Labs will receive 10% under separate vesting terms. These allocations aim to align long-term development with network use.

Guardians Role in Securing the Solana Mobile Network

The SKR launch will also introduce Guardians as a core network function. Guardians will help secure the system while verifying devices and applications. They will also guide standards for participation within the mobile ecosystem.

Several Solana infrastructure firms will act as early Guardians. These include Anza, DoubleZero, Helius, and Jito. Their role will focus on technical oversight and coordination.

Token holders will delegate SKR to Guardians of their choice. Delegation will influence which participants help maintain network standards. Rewards will depend on active participation rather than passive holding.

Solana Seeker Adoption and Mobile Platform Strategy

The Solana Seeker is Solana Mobile’s second blockchain-focused smartphone. It follows the earlier Saga phone, which lost software and security support in October. The Seeker launched in August with a revised hardware and app strategy.

Solana Mobile reported strong early usage metrics for the Seeker. The device has processed about 9 million transactions across 265 decentralized applications. More than 100,000 users generated roughly $2.6 billion in trading volume.

Solana Mobile has positioned the Seeker as an alternative to closed mobile platforms. The company has criticized the dominance of Apple and Google in app distribution. Its approach ties mobile access, tokens, and decentralized apps into one system.

With the SKR launch, Seeker users move beyond device ownership. They gain a direct role in securing and shaping the platform. The Jan. 21 airdrop sets the starting point for that transition.
