Solana Mobile has begun distributing the SKR airdrop to users and developers linked to the Seeker smartphone. The rollout was announced on Jan. 21 and introduces SKR as the core token of the Solana Mobile ecosystem.
The claim process is available directly on Seeker devices through the Seed Vault Wallet. Solana Mobile said the token launch supports its goal of building an open and community-driven mobile platform.
The SKR airdrop can be claimed by eligible Seeker users through the Seed Vault Wallet’s Activity Tracking tab. Users must complete the on-device claim process to receive their allocation.
SKR Airdrop Claim Rules and Developer Eligibility
A small SOL balance is required to pay network fees. Solana Mobile set a 90-day claim window for the SKR airdrop. Any tokens left unclaimed after the deadline will be returned to the airdrop pool.
Developers are also included in the SKR airdrop distribution. Teams that shipped approved apps to the Solana Mobile dApp Store during Season 1 can claim SKR through the Publishing Portal. Solana Mobile described this allocation as a reward for early builders.
SKR is designed as both a utility and governance token for Solana Mobile. The company said SKR will have a total supply of 10 billion tokens.
The allocation model uses linear inflation to encourage early participation. Solana Mobile linked that inflation system to staking and platform security. It said early users who stake can help secure the ecosystem while supporting growth.
Under the allocation plan, 30% of the SKR supply is reserved for airdrops. That portion includes the initial distribution to Seeker users and developers. Solana Mobile said it plans to airdrop nearly 2 billion SKR through these programs.
Eligibility and Allocation Tiers
Solana Mobile said eligibility is tied to Seeker Genesis Token activation. All users who activated their Seeker Genesis Token before or during Season 1 qualify for an allocation. The company also published Season 1 allocation totals.
A total of 1.819 billion SKR will be airdropped to 100,908 users. The distribution is split across five allocation tiers. Solana Mobile has not said that tiers are equal. The tier format suggests different reward sizes based on eligibility conditions.
The SKR airdrop claim window is time-limited. Users have 90 days to claim. Solana Mobile said any unclaimed tokens will be recycled into the airdrop pool. This approach keeps the distribution active and reduces long-term dormant supply.

How users can claim SKR
To claim the SKR airdrop, Seeker users must open the Seed Vault Wallet. They then go to the Activity Tracking tab and follow the claim steps. Solana Mobile said users need 0.015 SOL in the wallet to cover the transaction fee.
The claim process is designed for non-technical users. Solana Mobile placed it inside a native wallet experience. This reduces dependence on external claim sites. It also reduces the risk of phishing links.
Staking Launch and Network Incentives
Staking is live alongside the SKR airdrop launch. Users can stake SKR right after claiming. Solana Mobile said staking starts with 0% commission at launch.
That means delegators do not pay validator commission fees initially. Users can unstake at any time. A 48-hour cooldown period applies after unstaking.
Solana Mobile also described recurring inflation events. It said inflation events occur every 48 hours. This setup supports frequent reward cycles. It also incentivizes continued staking activity. The company said staking helps secure the ecosystem and supports early bootstrapping.
Utility inside the mobile ecosystem
SKR supports more than rewards. Solana Mobile said SKR is used for governance and platform participation. Token holders can participate in community governance decisions. SKR also supports app discovery and curation in the decentralized app store.
Solana Mobile also referenced device security functions. SKR is linked to a system called Guardians. The company described Guardians as a security system that supports Seeker device protection.
Exchange Listings and Price Action
SKR became tradable across multiple platforms after the SKR airdrop rollout started. The token is available on Solana decentralized exchanges including Raydium, Jupiter, Orca, and Meteora.
SKR is also available on centralized platforms such as Kraken, Bybit, Gate, MEXC, KuCoin, Bitget, and Crypto.com. Phantom also supports SKR access through its wallet system.
Jupiter announced a $50,000 SKR prize pool to celebrate the launch. This added more activity around the token’s debut. Following the rollout, SKR saw sharp volatility. The price jumped more than 40%, trading around $0.0111 at last check.
The 24-hour low and high were $0.00537 and $0.01294. Trading volume surged more than 3000% within hours, signaling strong interest from traders.
Solana Mobile noted that volatility is common for newly issued tokens. The company said its focus is on long-term usage. It has framed SKR value around participation and ecosystem growth.
Seeker Season 2 Begins
Solana Mobile confirmed that Seeker Season 2 is already underway. The company said the new season brings fresh apps and new rewards. It also includes activity-based incentives. Solana Mobile is using seasons as a structured growth model.
The start of Season 2 suggests SKR will remain tied to future campaigns. More rewards and usage programs may follow. Solana Mobile has not detailed every Season 2 reward mechanism yet.
Conclusion
The SKR airdrop marks a key milestone for Solana Mobile’s Seeker ecosystem. The token has a 10 billion supply and a linear inflation model tied to staking incentives. Solana Mobile set 30% of the supply for airdrops and plans to distribute nearly 2 billion SKR to users and developers.
Season 1 allocations cover 100,908 users across five tiers, with 1.819 billion SKR planned for distribution. With claiming, staking, listings, and Season 2 incentives now active, Solana Mobile is positioning SKR as the coordination layer for its open mobile platform.
