Solana Mobile says SKR token launch is coming in January
Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of blockchain developer Solana Labs, said Wednesday that the native token for its mobile device's ecosystem will launch at the beginning of next year."It only takes 10 years to build an ecosystem," Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko posted on X in reply to a Solana Mobile post saying: "SKR is coming in January 2026."The soon-to-be-launched token is the native asset of the Solana Mobile ecosystem. SKR is designed to power control, economics, incentives, and ownership across the ecosystem, and will be distributed directly to builders and users, the developers have previously said.SKR will have a total supply of 10 billion tokens. Solana Mobile's tokenomics breakdown also states that at launch, 30% of tokens have been earmarked for airdrop and unlock. According to a post shared by the mobile devices' X account, airdrop tokens are meant for "Seeker users, active dApp users, etc."In August, Solana Mobile said it had received "150,000 preorders" for the Solana Seeker and that “tens of thousands” of units were being shipped from warehouses to buyers in over 50 countries. Seeker is the second-generation handset from Solana Mobile.Seeker is an Android-based device pre-loaded with blockchain features like a hardware security solution dubbed Seed Vault key storage, a built-in Solana dApp Store, and an onchain Genesis Token that grants holders early access to new apps and SKR token rewards.More will be shared about the vision for SKR at the Breakpoint 2025 conference in Abu Dhabi, which takes place Dec. 11-13.Disclaimer: The Block is an independent media outlet that delivers news, research, and data.
