Solana is poised to launch its highly anticipated native token linked to its new mobile phone model, Seeker, at the beginning of 2026. This token will serve as the governance token for the company’s mobile ecosystem.
In a post on X, Solana Mobile revealed that the “SKR” token will have a total supply of 10 billion tokens, with 30% earmarked for airdrops and 25% allocated for growth and partnerships.
Additionally, 10% of the supply will be designated for liquidity, 10% for a community treasury, 15% for Solana Mobile, and 10% for Solana Labs, which is the parent company of the mobile division.
Back in May, Solana Mobile announced the upcoming launch of the SKR token, stating it would provide owners of the Seeker smartphone—equipped with crypto applications and features—with “actual ownership in the platform.”
The company noted that the token would feature “linear inflation to incentivize early participants” who stake it, with further details to be unveiled at the forthcoming Solana Breakpoint Conference from December 11 to 13.
Solana Mobile aims for ecosystem expansion with SKR
A significant selling point initially promoted by Solana Mobile for the Seeker was its decentralized application (DApp) store, which includes over 100 Solana-based DApps, as the company sought to position the phone as more than just a “rewards magnet” like its predecessor, the Saga.
Despite facing some initial challenges post-launch, Solana Mobile has indicated that the SKR token will help enhance the DApp store and the surrounding ecosystem.
In conjunction with the SKR announcement, Solana Mobile also introduced “guardians” to “validate trust” within its phone ecosystem.
“At launch, SKR functions as a mechanism for growth and coordination: stake to Guardians, support builders, secure devices, and curate the DApp Store,” stated Solana Mobile. “As the ecosystem expands, SKR ensures its value returns to the community that fuels it.”

For users, SKR holders will have the opportunity to earn rewards by staking their assets with guardians. Initially, Solana Mobile will serve as the first guardian, with others such as Helius Labs, Double Zero, and Triton One set to join in 2026.
“Guardians authenticate devices, review DApp submissions, and enforce community standards,” the post noted.
The announcement aligns with a slight increase in Solana (SOL) prices, rising from around $140 to $145.68, marking a 5.4% gain in the last 24 hours.
