Solana Mobile has begun distributing the long-awaited SKR tokens. This marks a significant step in the company’s push to link cryptocurrency incentives directly to mobile hardware adoption.
The airdrop, published Tuesday at 9pm ET, is part of a broader launch supporting the Seeker smartphone ecosystem, Solana Mobile’s second-generation Web3 device platform. This follows months of building around Seeker, which has been pitched as a more mature successor to Saga, the first Web3 phone.
The total supply of SKR tokens is fixed at 10 billion, and distribution will be geared toward user and ecosystem growth.
The token allocation plan will allocate 30% of the supply to airdrops, including initial distribution to eligible Seeker users and developers. The remaining 25% will be set aside for growth initiatives and partnerships, and 10% will support liquidity and ramp-up activities. A 10% community treasury is intended to fund future ecosystem proposals, and the remaining supply will be split between Solana Mobile (15%) and Solana Labs (10%).
Eligibility for the first airdrop was determined by a snapshot of on-chain activity associated with Seeker devices and their applications.
The token will play a central role in governance and staking, allowing holders to delegate their tokens to help secure and scale the mobile ecosystem. Those who stake SKR can earn rewards and participate in decisions that affect the Seeker platform, including economic parameters and ecosystem initiatives.
To support this model, SKR plans to operate on a linear inflation schedule, which it claims will encourage early participation. Inflation starts at 10% in the first year and decreases by 25% each year thereafter until reaching a final interest rate of 2%, at which issuance is expected to stabilize.
