Solana Mobile has confirmed that the SKR token will launch in January 2026 as the core asset powering its Seeker mobile ecosystem.
The company said the token will unify user participation, developer incentives, and governance across its hardware and software products. It added that SKR will support a coordinated framework built around community involvement and device security.
The launch signals a major step in Solana’s effort to merge blockchain functionality with mobile technology.
SKR to anchor governance, growth, and community standards
Solana Mobile explained that SKR will operate as a “growth and coordination mechanism” from the start.
Holders will stake the token to ecosystem guardians who verify device authenticity, review dApp submissions, and enforce community standards.
The company said it will serve as the first guardian, while groups such as Helius Labs, Double Zero, and Triton One will join in 2026.
Users who stake SKR with these guardians will earn rewards designed to encourage broad network participation.
The firm confirmed that SKR will have a total supply of 10 billion tokens. Of that amount, 30% will go toward airdrops aimed at early users, while 25% will support growth and partnerships.
Solana Mobile allocated 10% for liquidity purposes and another 10% for a community treasury. It also set aside 15% for its own operations and 10% for Solana Labs as part of the long-term development plan.
The company said SKR includes linear inflation to incentivize early staking once the program becomes active.
Solana Mobile added that SKR should strengthen the dApp Store, which features more than 100 Solana-linked applications.
The company earlier stated that Seeker owners would gain “actual ownership in the platform” as part of the token initiative. It also plans to release additional SKR details at the Solana Breakpoint Conference scheduled for December 11 to 13.
Seeker phone gains traction as token launch approaches
Momentum around the Seeker smartphone continues to grow ahead of the SKR rollout. The device shipped more than 150,000 pre-orders worldwide after launching on August 4.
Solana Mobile said the phone includes an upgraded dApp Store, integrated key storage, and decentralized verification through TEEPIN.
The company positioned Seeker as a functional daily-use device supported by blockchain infrastructure rather than a rewards-focused product like its predecessor, Saga.
Some early users reported minor issues at launch, but Solana Mobile said SKR will reinforce the app ecosystem and improve long-term stability.
The firm expects guardians to play a central role in building trust across the system as the community expands. It also said SKR will ensure that value created within the ecosystem flows back to users, developers, and partners who contribute to its growth.
Solana’s market reacted to the announcement, with the token’s price climbing from roughly $140 to $145.68.
The company said the rise reflected increased attention on its mobile strategy. Solana Mobile noted that January 2026 will mark the start of a new chapter as SKR becomes the centerpiece of the Seeker ecosystem.
