Solana Mobile has officially closed the first season of its Seeker program, a major milestone in its mobile-focused Web3 strategy, as it prepares to launch its foundational SKR token on January 21, 2026.
The inaugural Seeker Season 1 proved highly active, attracting more than 265 decentralized applications (dApps) and processing approximately 9 million transactions. The season generated a substantial $2.6 billion in on-chain volume with participation from over 100,000 users.
The SKR token is designed to serve as the economic backbone and coordination layer for the Seeker smartphone ecosystem. It will function as a utility and governance token, aiming to give crypto-native mobile users greater control over platform policies and economic flows. Solana Mobile general manager Emmett Hollyer emphasized this shift, stating in a Jan. 7 post that SKR will allow the community to "influence the success of this platform: who can participate, what rules they follow, and what economic flows keep it going."
The token will have a fixed total supply of 10 billion SKR. A significant 30% of the total supply (3 billion tokens) has been earmarked for community airdrops. Of this initial airdrop allocation, two-thirds is reserved for Seeker users and developers. Furthermore, 20% of the total supply (2 billion tokens) has been specifically set aside for an airdrop to eligible users and developers from the program's activities.
An additional 2.7 billion SKR will be made available during the Token Generation Event (TGE). This allocation includes 1 billion tokens for the community treasury, 1 billion to provide liquidity, and 700 million for growth and partnerships.
The Seeker device itself, which began shipping to over 50 countries in August 2025 after securing more than 150,000 pre-orders, features a novel security architecture called TEEPIN. This system decentralizes device-level security and app distribution through a network of Guardians—Solana node operators responsible for verifying devices and curating dApps. Key infrastructure partners confirmed as Guardians include Anza, Helius, Jito, DoubleZero, and Triton One. Seeker users will be able to stake and delegate their SKR tokens to these Guardians to earn staking rewards and access exclusive in-app features.
