Source: PortaldoBitcoin Original Title: SKR: New Solana Token Surges 83% on Market Debut Original Link: Solana Mobile airdropped its native token SKR on Tuesday(20th), allowing Seeker smartphone users and active dApp participants to claim the asset. The move was highly successful, with SKR rising 83% on Wednesday, according to CoinGecko data, currently priced at $0.01236.

According to an official announcement, Seeker is an Android smartphone developed by Solana Mobile, enabling users to directly claim SKR through the built-in wallet. The claiming period lasts 90 days; unclaimed tokens after this period will return to the airdrop pool.

Developers who release “high-quality” apps on the dApp Store in the first quarter are also eligible to receive this asset.

The Role of SKR in the Ecosystem

SKR aims to become the core token of the ecosystem, responsible for governance, economic incentives, and ownership mechanisms within the platform. Solana Mobile states that the total supply of SKR is 10 billion tokens, with 30% reserved for initial airdrops and unlocks.

Solana Mobile also encourages participants to stake SKR, emphasizing that inflation events occur every 48 hours, as part of a model designed to reward early users.

The Economic Model of SKR

According to the economic model published on the official website, the annual inflation rate starts at 10%, decreasing by 25% each year until reaching 2%, after which it remains stable. This structure aims to balance early incentives with long-term predictability, valued by investors and developers.

The launch of the SKR airdrop coincides with the start of Seeker’s “Season 2,” which officially began on Wednesday, bringing new applications, additional rewards, and early access to projects in DeFi, gaming, payments, trading, and DePIN sectors.

Seeker is the successor to the company’s first phone, Saga, equipped with blockchain-native features, including the Seed Vault security system for key storage and a native app store for Solana network applications.

In August, Solana Mobile reported receiving about 150,000 Seeker pre-orders, with plans to deliver to over 50 countries, indicating significant market interest in the concept of smartphones integrated with the crypto ecosystem. This trend helps explain the initial enthusiasm around SKR.
