The upcoming governance token will support device security, DApp curation, and community participation across Solana’s mobile platform
Solana Mobile is preparing to introduce its long-anticipated SKR token in January, marking a major milestone in the rollout of its Seeker smartphone ecosystem. The token is designed to function as the governance and coordination layer for the company’s expanding mobile platform, with a fixed supply of 10 billion SKR.
In its latest announcement, Solana Mobile detailed the initial token distribution, with 30% earmarked for airdrops and 25% allocated to growth and partnerships. Additional allocations include 10% for liquidity, 10% for a community treasury, 15% for Solana Mobile, and 10% for Solana Labs, the parent company overseeing development.
The company first previewed the token earlier this year, positioning it as a mechanism for granting Seeker owners “actual ownership in the platform.” According to early guidance, SKR will follow a linear inflation model intended to encourage participation from users who choose to stake the token.
Solana Mobile emphasized that SKR will help strengthen its decentralized application (DApp) store, which now features more than 100 Solana-built apps. The token also underpins a newly introduced component called “guardians,” responsible for validating device trust, reviewing DApp submissions, and enforcing community standards.
“At launch, SKR will act as a growth and coordination mechanism—supporting builders, securing devices, and curating the DApp Store,” the company said, adding that the long-term goal is ensuring value returns to the community driving ecosystem growth.
Users will be able to stake SKR with guardians to earn rewards. Solana Mobile will serve as the first guardian, with partners including Helius Labs, Double Zero, and Triton One expected to join in 2026.
The announcement coincided with a modest increase in SOL’s price, rising more than 5% over the past day as the market digested the upcoming token launch and broader mobile-ecosystem plans.
