SKR Tokenomics
The soon-to-be-launched SKR token aims to form the economic and governance backbone of the Solana decentralized mobile platform.
“It only takes 10 years to build an ecosystem,” Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko posted on X in response to a Solana Mobile announcement saying: “SKR is coming in January 2026.”
SKR is designed to power governance, economics, incentives, and ownership across the ecosystem, and will be distributed directly to builders and users, according to developers. The token will allow users to stake to entities known as Guardians, who will manage device verification and implement community standards within the Seeker smartphone ecosystem.
“Guardians verify device authenticity, review DApp submissions, and enforce community standards,” Solana Mobile stated.
 
According to the company, SKR will have a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens. Distribution is designed to favor users and ecosystem growth: 30% of the tokens have been earmarked for airdrops at launch, 25% for growth initiatives and alliances, and 10% for liquidity and launch support. Another 10% will be assigned to a community treasury, while 15% is reserved for Solana Mobile itself and 10% for Solana Labs, the parent company of the Android phone maker.
SKR will also incorporate a linear inflation model, intended to incentivize early participants who stake tokens to help secure and scale the mobile ecosystem.
Solana Mobile announced its second-generation crypto-focused smartphone, the Seeker, early last year. It is a more affordable version of the company’s original high-end Saga device, featuring upgraded hardware and a more in-depth integration of decentralized, on-chain features. Notably, the Seeker earned over 140,000 pre-sale orders and started shipping to users this August.
