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.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
