Solana Mobile revealed plans to launch its native token, SKR, at the start of 2026, tying it to its latest smartphone model, Seeker.
The coin will act as the governance token for Solana’s mobile ecosystem.
The company shared on X that the SKR token will have a total supply of 10 billion, with 30% allocated for airdrops and 25% reserved for growth and partnerships.
Additional allocations include 10% for liquidity, 10% for a community treasury, 15% for Solana Mobile, and 10% for Solana Labs.
Token Function and User Ownership
Solana Mobile announced in May that SKR would provide Seeker smartphone owners with “actual ownership in the platform.”
The token will feature “linear inflation to incentivize early participants” who stake it.
Further details will be shared at the Solana Breakpoint Conference from Dec. 11 to 13.
Expanding the Mobile Ecosystem
A key selling point for Seeker is its decentralized application (DApp) store, which hosts over 100 Solana-based DApps.
Solana Mobile aims to move beyond the phone being seen primarily as a “rewards magnet.”
The SKR token will support growth of the DApp store and the wider mobile ecosystem.
Guardians and Staking Mechanism
Alongside the SKR token, Solana Mobile introduced “guardians” to “validate trust” across its ecosystem.
The company explained:
“At launch, SKR serves as a growth and coordination mechanism: stake to Guardians, support builders, secure devices, curate the DApp Store.”
“As the ecosystem scales, SKR ensures its value flows back to the community that powers it.”
SKR holders will earn rewards from staking with guardians, starting with Solana Mobile and expanding to Helius Labs, Double Zero, and Triton One in 2026.
Guardians will verify device authenticity, review DApp submissions, and enforce community standards.
Market Reaction
Following the announcement, the price of Solana increased.
SOL traded around $140 before the news and reached $145.68, marking a 5.4% increase over 24 hours.
