Solana Mobile has officially confirmed that its long anticipated native token, SKR, will launch at the start of 2026. The token will serve as the core governance asset for the company’s mobile ecosystem built around its latest smartphone model, the Seeker. The announcement was made on Wednesday through an official post on X.
According to Solana Mobile, SKR will carry a total supply of 10 billion tokens. The company allocated 30 percent of the supply for airdrops, 25 percent for growth and partnerships, 10 percent for liquidity, 10 percent for the community treasury, 15 percent for Solana Mobile and 10 percent for Solana Labs, the parent entity behind the mobile division.
The Seeker smartphone, which comes preloaded with Solana based applications and crypto native features, will integrate SKR as a tool that gives users ownership in the platform. Earlier in May, Solana Mobile stated that SKR will include linear inflation to incentivize early participants who stake the token. More details will be shared at the upcoming Solana Breakpoint Conference scheduled for December 11 to 13.
Strengthening the Solana Mobile Ecosystem
One of the primary goals of the SKR token is to support the ecosystem around the Seeker device. Solana Mobile highlighted the importance of its decentralized application store, which currently hosts more than 100 Solana based DApps as it looks to expand utility beyond the early Saga era, when the device was seen mostly as a rewards driven product.
Solana Mobile also introduced a new system called guardians. These guardians will play a central role in validating trust across the mobile ecosystem. At launch, users will be able to stake SKR to guardians in order to earn rewards and contribute to securing the network of devices and applications.
Solana Mobile will act as the first guardian, with several others joining later in 2026, including Helius Labs, Double Zero and Triton One. Guardians will be responsible for verifying device authenticity, reviewing decentralized application submissions and enforcing community standards to safeguard the ecosystem.
In its announcement, Solana Mobile wrote that SKR will act as a growth and coordination mechanism. As the ecosystem expands, the company said SKR will ensure that value flows back to the community, powering the platform.
Market Reaction
The announcement of the SKR token coincided with a noticeable increase in Solana’s market performance. Prior to the update, Solana traded near 140 dollars. Following the news, the price rose to 145.68 dollars, reflecting a 5.4 percent increase over the last 24 hours.
