Solana Mobile Enhances Fairness by Removing Airdrop Abusers

Emmett Hollyer, leader of Solana Mobile, announced via X on January 18, 2026, enhanced anti-bot measures before the Seeker-related SKR token airdrop distribution, improving fairness for users.

This strategic move aims to ensure SKR tokens benefit genuine users and developers rather than automated systems, potentially enhancing Solana Mobile’s market credibility and user engagement.

The community responded positively on platforms like X, with users welcoming the move to eliminate unfair access. No specific detection details were disclosed, yet the transparency of intentions elicited trust among followers, resonating well with developers.

In addition to existing anti-bot measures, the team is actively identifying some additional Seeker clusters. These accounts will be removed from the initial SKR airdrop distribution and returned to a future airdrop pool.
