New Incentive Program Launches: SKR Token Airdrop Countdown Begins
The crypto mobile ecosystem is evolving. Solana Mobile has officially unveiled its first large-scale distribution of the native SKR token, set to reward Seeker smartphone owners and app developers building on its platform starting January 20.
Who Qualifies for the Drop?
The airdrop will release 2 billion SKR tokens—20% of the total 10 billion supply—exclusively to users of the second-generation Solana mobile device, the Seeker, as well as developers contributing to its application ecosystem.
While the official X post states the airdrop will go live on January 21 UTC, a leaked screenshot in the comments suggests the actual claim window may open earlier—at 9 PM Eastern Time on January 20—sparking active discussion in the community.
Early Adopters Left Out
Despite their role in pioneering the ecosystem, original Solana Saga phone users will not qualify for this round. A Solana Mobile representative confirmed to media that the focus is on current device engagement and active development.
- Total SKR supply: 10 billion
- Tokens in this drop: 2 billion (20%)
- Reserved for future rewards: 30% of total supply
- Eligible recipients: Seeker owners and ecosystem developers
This move marks a strategic effort by Solana to strengthen user loyalty and drive innovation in its mobile stack, using token incentives to fuel long-term ecosystem growth.
