Solana Mobile Launches SKR Token Airdrop for Seeker Smartphone Users

  • Solana Mobile has launched its native SKR utility and governance token, airdropping nearly 2 billion tokens to over 100,000 Seeker phone users and 188 developers.
  • The SKR token features a 10 billion fixed supply and a linear inflation model starting at 10% annually, which rewards early participants who stake to ecosystem “Guardians.”
  • Launched at $0.006, the token surged over 400% to $0.05 on its first day as the Seeker ecosystem transitioned into its “Season 2” incentive phase.

Solana Mobile has begun distributing nearly 2 billion tokens to users and developers of its Web3 smartphone, marking the launch of the Seeker token (SKR) and the start of a new incentive system tied to its mobile ecosystem.

The airdrop applies to owners of the Solana Seeker phone and participating developers, and eligible users have 90 days to claim the tokens, which can be staked immediately for rewards. 

The airdrop covers at least 100,000 users and 188 developers, with the tokens valued at about US$26.6 million (AU$40.7 million) at launch.

After claiming their allocation, users can stake SKR through Solana Mobile’s staking system. The company said staking rewards begin immediately, with token inflation events scheduled every 48 hours and no commission applied at launch.

SKR Token Launches

The SKR token was announced a month ago, confirmed by Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko.

It is the utility and governance token for the Solana Mobile platform. It has a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens and is issued as a Solana Program Library (SPL) asset, the standard token format on the Solana blockchain. 

The idea behind the token is relatively simple: to support governance, rewards, security initiatives and access to platform features, while aligning incentives across users and developers.

The Seeker smartphone, launched in August 2025, is an Android-based device built specifically for crypto use. It is the successor to the Solana Saga, Solana Mobile’s first phone, released in 2022. The Seeker includes a native decentralised app store and deep integration with the Solana ecosystem.

Trading data shows strong early market activity. SKR began trading around 2:00 am UTC and rose roughly 440% to US$0.05 (AU$0.74) according to CoinGecko.

Inside Upexi’s SOL play: staking yield and locked token deals

The post Inside Upexi’s SOL play: staking yield and locked token deals appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Upexi is the largest public company holding Solana tokens and uses a SOL strategy to build its holdings and generate additional revenue through staking. In an interview with crypto.news, Upexi CEO Allan Marshall explains why the company executed a large equity private placement to build a crypto treasury, citing MicroStrategy’s playbook and a more accommodating U.S. policy backdrop. Summary Upexi is the largest public holder of Solana, using equity raises to build a SOL treasury and earn staking yield. Upexi CEO Allan Marshall spoke with crypto.news in an interview. Corporate strategy focuses on accretive issuances, staking, and discounted locked SOL purchases, not venture investing. Upexi markets itself as a “new institutional gateway to Solana’s (SOL) speed, scale, and rapidly growing ecosystem.” But it isn’t alone, as it joins a handful of rival companies also building Solana treasuries, while dozens of other public entities are focusing on other coins. Speaking to crypto.news, Marshall discusses strategy and market perception. He notes that Upexi is focused on accretive capital raises, staking, and discounted, locked SOL purchases rather than venture investing. He also discusses how the company measures progress through an “adjusted SOL per share” metric designed to remove timing and leverage effects. We also discuss the company’s risk management strategies, which include a buy-and-hold approach, no hedging, disciplined use of leverage, and custody with qualified providers. The entire interview transcript is below: crypto.news: Upexi is now the largest corporate holder of Solana with over 2 million SOL in treasury. Why did you make such a dramatic shift now? Was there something specific that happened in the past few months that gave you the confidence to commit so heavily to a crypto treasury at this time? Allan Marshall: Upexi did the first large-scale equity private placement to create an altcoin treasury, and there were…
