Solana Mobile has officially launched an airdrop of its native token, SKR, opening claims to over 100,000 users of its Seeker smartphone and developers who built quality apps for its ecosystem. The announcement, made on Tuesday, positions the airdrop as a core component of Solana Mobile's vision for user-owned mobile networks.
The claim window is set at 90 days, during which eligible participants can claim their tokens via the Seeker phone's built-in Seed Vault Wallet. After this period, any unclaimed allocations will be returned to the airdrop pool. Eligibility extends to both Seeker device owners and developers who deployed applications to the Solana dApp Store during Season 1.
SKR is designed as the native asset to power governance, economics, and incentives across the Solana Mobile ecosystem. It has a total fixed supply of 10 billion tokens, with 30% allocated for initial airdrops and unlocks at launch. The project is encouraging recipients to stake their tokens, noting that inflation events occur every 48 hours.
The token follows a linear inflation schedule starting at 10% annually. This rate is designed to decrease by 25% each year until it stabilizes at a permanent 2% inflation rate. This structure aims to reward early participants while ensuring long-term issuance controls.
The airdrop launch coincides with the kickoff of Seeker's Season 2 campaign, which will focus on expanding into DeFi, gaming, payments, trading, and DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks). The Seeker phone, an Android-based successor to the Saga, comes pre-loaded with blockchain features including the Seed Vault hardware security module and a built-in Solana dApp Store.
Solana Mobile reported in August that it had received approximately 150,000 preorders for the Seeker device, with shipments planned to over 50 countries. According to CoinGecko data, SKR was trading at $0.01062 at the time of the announcement, reflecting a 54% increase over the previous 24 hours.
