- Seeker users can claim SKR via Seed Vault Wallet, with 90 days to secure their tokens before they return to the pool.
- SKR powers staking, governance, and app curation, encouraging active participation and long-term engagement in the ecosystem.
- Season 2 adds new apps and rewards, expanding Seeker’s blockchain features and global reach across 50+ countries.
Solana Mobile has begun giving out SKR, its own digital token, to people who use the Seeker smartphone and to app developers. This move is a big step toward creating a mobile platform run by its community.
Starting January 21, eligible users can claim their SKR directly on their Seeker phone using the Seed Vault Wallet. They just need to open the Activity Tracking tab and follow the steps to get their tokens. A small amount of Solana is needed to cover network fees. Users have 90 days to claim their tokens, and anything left unclaimed will go back into the airdrop pool.
Developers are also part of the SKR distribution. Teams that published approved apps in Season 1 of the Solana Mobile dApp Store can claim their tokens through the Publishing Portal. In total, about 2 billion SKR—roughly 20% of the fixed 10 billion supply—has been allocated to users and developers, reflecting how the token is being distributed within the ecosystem.
SKR Token Economics and Functions
SKR is used in two main ways in the Solana Mobile ecosystem: for governance and for practical features. It lets people stake their tokens, take part in community decisions, discover and rate apps, and help secure devices through a system called Guardians.
Staking is already live, so holders can delegate their SKR and earn rewards. New tokens are added every 48 hours. Overall, the system is set up to encourage people to stay involved over the long term, rather than just trading for quick gains.
At the time of reporting, SKR was trading around $0.0101, giving it a market value of about $56.6 million. About 5.7 billion SKR are currently in circulation, and if all 10 billion tokens were counted, the total value would be roughly $99.3 million.
SKR can be bought and sold on major Solana decentralized exchanges like Raydium, Jupiter, Orca, and Meteora. It’s also listed on centralized platforms, including Crypto.com, Bybit, KuCoin, Gate.io, and Bitget. The token’s price has been quite volatile, which is normal for new digital tokens. Solana Mobile notes that its long-term value depends more on how people use and participate in the ecosystem than on short-term trading.
Seeker Season 2 and Ecosystem Expansion
With SKR now available, Solana Mobile said that Seeker Season 2 has started. This phase adds new apps, rewards, and activity-based incentives, focusing on areas like DeFi, gaming, payments, and other decentralized services.
The Seeker phone, which runs on Android, replaces the earlier Saga model and comes with built-in blockchain features. These include the Seed Vault hardware security system and a Solana dApp Store. So far, the company has received over 150,000 preorders, and shipments are going to more than 50 countries, showing interest in blockchain-ready mobile devices worldwide.
