Solana is predicted to launch the expected native token tied to its latest cell phone model, Seeker, in early 2026, with the coin intended to function a governance token for the corporate's mobile ecosystem.
Solana Mobile announced in an X post on Wednesday that the “SKR” token may have a complete supply of 10 billion tokens, with 30% reserved for airdrops and 25% for growth and partnerships.
Another 10% of the token supply can be dedicated to liquidity, 10% to a community treasury, 15% to Solana Mobile, and 10% to Solana Labs, the parent company of the mobile arm.

Solana Mobile announced in May that it planned to launch the SKR token, giving “actual ownership of the platform” to owners of its latest Seeker smartphone, which comes pre-installed with crypto apps and features.
The company said the token would have “linear inflation” to incentivize early participants to stake it, but it surely would reveal more in regards to the token on the upcoming Solana Breakpoint conference, December 11-13.
Solana Mobile goals to grow the ecosystem with SKR
A key selling point that Solana Mobile initially marketed the Seeker was its decentralized application store (DApp), which hosts over 100 Solana-based DApps, as the corporate desired to expand beyond simply seeing the phone as a “reward magnet” like its first variant, the Saga.
Although there have been some teething problems since launch, Solana Mobile has hinted that the SKR token can be used to strengthen the DApp store and the ecosystem surrounding the phone.
Alongside the SKR announcement, Solana Mobile also introduced “guardians” that can “validate” trust across its phone ecosystem.
“At launch, SKR will function a growth and coordination mechanism: participating in Guardians, supporting developers, securing devices, curating the DApp Store,” said Solana Mobile. “As the ecosystem grows, SKR ensures that its value flows back to the community that powers it.”
On the user side, SKR holders can earn rewards by staking the asset with guardians. Solana Mobile can be the primary Guardian, with others joining later in 2026 similar to Helius Labs, Double Zero and Triton One.
“Guardians confirm device authenticity, review DApp submissions, and implement community standards,” the post said.
The news coincided with a small increase in the value of Solana (SOL), with the value hovering around $140 before the announcement. It is currently at $145.68, up 5.4% within the last 24 hours.
