Over 100,000 users and developers in the Solana Mobile ecosystem will receive nearly 2 billion Seeker tokens next week as part of the first SKR airdrop. The distribution is scheduled for Jan. 21 and is tied directly to ownership and usage of Solana Mobile’s second-generation phone, Seeker.
Solana Mobile confirmed on Wednesday that an allocation tracker is now live, allowing eligible users and developers to view their SKR balances through Seed Vault wallets. According to the company, a total of 1,819,755,000 SKR will be distributed to 100,908 users, while 141,030,000 SKR will go to 188 developers. In total, close to 2 billion SKR will be handed out to the community.
The airdrop represents 20% of SKR’s total supply, which is capped at 10 billion tokens. SKR is the native token of the Solana mobile ecosystem and is designed to support app usage, rewards, and staking within the platform.
Airdrop Eligibility and Reward Structure
User allocations are based on Seeker phone ownership and on activity during the first reward season. Rewards are split into several tiers, ranging from Scout to Sovereign. Sovereign is the highest tier, with each qualifying user receiving 750,000 SKR. Lower tiers receive smaller amounts based on phone usage, interaction with the Solana decentralized app store, and on-chain activity.
Developer rewards are based on contribution to the Seeker app ecosystem. Solana Mobile said the goal is to reward both users and builders who actively supported the platform during its early phase.
Once the airdrop goes live at 2am UTC on Jan. 21, users will be able to stake their SKR tokens right away. Staking will be available directly through Seed Vault Wallet, where users can stake to Guardians, or through a web-based staking interface provided by Solana Mobile. Rewards will begin accruing after tokens are staked.
Seeker Adoption Versus Early Expectations
Seeker began shipping in August 2025 and is priced at around $500. Ahead of launch, Solana Mobile reported more than 150,000 pre-orders. However, current data shows that only about 109,000 users qualified for the first airdrop, well below the early pre-order count.
Unlike the first Solana phone, Saga, which leaned heavily on token rewards, Seeker was built with a broader goal. The company has focused on building core mobile infrastructure and a full app marketplace rather than relying only on incentives.
