Solana Mobile Prepares SKR Token Airdrop for Seeker Phone Users, Excludes Saga Owners

Solana Mobile announced Wednesday that it will airdrop its new SKR token to Seeker smartphone users and developers within its mobile ecosystem on January 20. However, owners of the earlier Solana Saga phone will not be eligible for the airdrop, a Solana Mobile representative confirmed.

While an official post stated that the airdrop would occur on January 21 (UTC), a screenshot shared in the same thread indicates that claims will open at 9:00 p.m. ET on January 20.

The airdrop will distribute 20% of the total SKR supply—2 billion unlocked tokens—to Seeker device holders and developers building applications for the crypto-focused smartphone. In total, 30% of the 10 billion SKR token supply has been allocated to airdrop incentives.

“SKR will give everyone who helped get us here the ability to shape the success of this platform—who can participate, what rules they follow, and how economic value flows through the ecosystem,” Solana Mobile general manager Emmett Hollyer wrote. “This airdrop is the first step.”

Further details on claim mechanics and allocation are expected soon. Solana Mobile also confirmed that a snapshot of Seeker device activity was taken ahead of the token launch.

Since global shipping began in August, activity during “Seeker Season 1” has generated more than 9 million transactions and $2.6 billion in transactional volume. Season 2 began on Wednesday, with additional information expected Thursday.

Beyond the airdrop, 2.7 billion SKR tokens (27% of supply) will unlock during the token generation event on January 20, including 1 billion tokens for liquidity, 1 billion for the community treasury, and 700 million for growth and partnerships. An additional 1.8 billion SKR will unlock gradually to support future growth initiatives.

“Our plans haven’t changed—we’re building the easiest and most secure way to participate in internet capital markets from the supercomputer in your pocket,” Hollyer said. “SKR is a critical step toward an open ecosystem with more devices, developers, and users.”

More than 150,000 Seeker devices were pre-ordered following the release of Solana Mobile’s first-generation Android phone, the Saga. The Seeker retails for $500.

The Saga, which initially gained attention due to airdrops tied to the device, lost software and security support in October. As a result, Saga users will not be included in the SKR airdrop.
