Solana Mobile users and app developers would be eligible to receive a share of roughly 2 billion Seeker tokens following the conclusion of Season 1 of the SKR airdrop.
Summary
- Solana users will receive a combined 1.8 billion SKR tokens in the first Seeker airdrop on Jan. 21.
- Airdrop rewards are based on user engagement and follow a five-tier structure, with the highest tier offering 750,000 SKR tokens.
Slated for Jan. 21, over 100,000 users and 188 developers will be rewarded a total allocation of 1,819,755,000 SKR and 141,030,000 SKR, respectively, Solana Mobile wrote in a Wednesday X post.
An allocation tracker, now live, will allow users to check how much they will receive directly from their “seed vault wallets.”
SKR is the native token of the Solana Mobile ecosystem and is tied to the second generation of smartphones launched by Solana Mobile last year. It will serve as the foundational utility and governance token that is expected to grant users more control over platform policies and governance.
Seeker users will also be able to delegate their tokens to Guardians, who are responsible for verifying devices, curating apps, and enforcing community rules. Users will be eligible for various exclusive in-app features and staking rewards.
According to tokenomics unveiled earlier this month, SKR has a total supply of 10 billion tokens, of which 30% has been reserved for community airdrops. Out of this, two-thirds of the initial airdrop allocation has been earmarked for Solana Seeker users and developers.
Another 2.7 billion SKR that will be unlocked during the token generation event will be allocated toward the community treasury, liquidity provision, and growth and partnership initiatives.
Starting Jan. 21, Solana Mobile users will be able to stake and start earning rewards for their tokens through Guardians directly via the Seed Vault Wallet.
“SKR can also be staked on the web via the SKR Staking web experience,” Solana Mobile added.
Seeker phone owners are eligible to earn a maximum of 750,000 SKR based on a tier system that Solana Mobile said was “determined by engagement with Seeker, the Solana dApp Store, and on-chain activity,” during season 1 of the airdrop.
There are currently five tiers, namely Scout, Prospector, Vanguard, Luminary, and Sovereign, with Sovereign being the highest and Scout on the lower end, with a reward of 5,000 SKR.
Seeker is the second-generation device in Solana Mobile’s crypto-integrated smartphone lineup that began shipping to over 50 countries in August last year. While the previous iteration of the phone, dubbed Saga, failed to gain traction, Seeker has witnessed stronger uptake thanks to improved hardware and a more affordable $500 price point.
When shipping began, Solana Mobile had reportedly secured over 150,000 pre-orders.
