Solana Mobile launches and airdrops SKR tokens on 1/21
On January 8, Solana Mobile officially announced that its native ecosystem token $SKR will be launched on January 21 at 10:00 AM Taiwan time, and eligible users can claim the $SKR airdrop.
Last December, Solana Mobile previewed the $SKR token launch, and this time the official added that the snapshot for the airdrop distribution has been completed. The first wave of airdrops will allocate 20% of the total supply of 10 billion tokens, reserved for eligible users and developers.

First season trading volume exceeds $2.6 billion; Seeker Season second season kicks off
As the $SKR token is about to launch, Solana Mobile officially announced the successful conclusion of the first Seeker Season activity.
According to official data, the first season of Seeker Season attracted over 100,000 Seeker users, connected more than 265 decentralized applications (dApps), and generated 9 million transactions with a trading volume of up to $2.6 billion.
After the first season ended, the official also announced that “Seeker Season 2” has started immediately. More details were released on January 9. Those interested can continue to follow updates on participation methods, subsequent airdrop allocations, and other details.
SKR tokens adopt a linear inflation mechanism, combined with staking and governance
As previously reported by Crypto City, Solana Mobile’s $SKR token uses a linear inflation mechanism, mainly to reward early stakers who help maintain ecosystem security and promote expansion.
The model sets the first-year inflation rate at 10%, decreasing by 25% each subsequent year until it reaches a terminal rate of 2%, stabilizing thereafter.
The official explained that this design aims to guide activity during the platform’s growth phase while maintaining long-term issuance predictability and sustainability.

In terms of specific functions, $SKR tokens are designed as governance and incentive layers within the Solana Mobile ecosystem. Holders will be able to stake tokens with Guardians, a delegated group responsible for maintaining platform security and participating in governance decisions.
Additionally, $SKR tokens will be used for developer support, device security, and management of the dApp store. Each Seeker phone will be issued a non-transferable Soulbound Token (SBT) as a genesis credential, which is an important qualification for holders to receive airdrops.
