Solana Mobile has announced that it will distribute free new SKR tokens to Seeker phone users and ecosystem developers on January 20th. However, a Solana Mobile representative confirmed to Decrypt that previous generation Solana Saga phone users will not be eligible for this airdrop.
An official post on X ( previously known as Twitter) from Solana Mobile stated that the airdrop would take place on January 21st UTC. However, a screenshot within the series of posts shows that users can claim tokens at 9 PM ET on January 20th.
This airdrop will distribute 20%, equivalent to 2 billion SKR unlocked, to second-generation Seeker phone owners and application developers for this crypto-focused mobile device. In total, 30% of the 10 billion SKR is reserved as an airdrop reward.
“SKR will give everyone who has supported us so far the opportunity to influence the platform’s success: who participates, the rules they follow, and the economic flows that keep the ecosystem running,” said Emmett Hollyer, CEO of Solana Mobile, on X. “This airdrop is just the first step.”
Details on how to claim tokens and the distribution process are expected to be announced soon. Solana Mobile stated that they have taken a snapshot of activity on Seeker devices before the tokens are launched.
According to reports, this activity has included over 9 million transactions with a total volume of $2.6 billion within the “Seeker Season 1” framework since devices began global delivery in August. Season 2 started on Wednesday, with details about the new season to be announced on Thursday.
In addition to the tokens airdropped, another 2.7 billion SKR (27% of total supply) will be unlocked during the token release event on January 20th, including 1 billion for liquidity, 1 billion for the community treasury, and 700 million for development and partnerships. An additional 1.8 billion SKR will be linearly unlocked to support future development initiatives, according to tokenomics information.
“Our plan remains unchanged: we are building the simplest and safest way to participate in the internet capital markets from the supercomputer in your pocket,” Hollyer emphasized. “SKR is an important step toward an open ecosystem, attracting more devices, developers, and users.”
Over 150,000 Seeker devices have been pre-ordered by the crypto community after Solana Mobile launched the first-generation Android device, Solana Saga. The Seeker currently sells for $500.
Meanwhile, Saga, which previously attracted attention with its airdrops, has stopped receiving software updates and security patches since October. The lack of support also means Saga users will not be included in the SKR airdrop.
“Saga users will not be counted in the SKR airdrop,” a Solana Mobile representative confirmed.
