According to a post on X from Solana Mobile, SKR will have a fixed total supply of 10 billion tokens. Distribution is designed to favor users and ecosystem growth: 30% will go toward airdrops, 25% to growth initiatives and partnerships, and 10% for liquidity and launch support. Another 10% will be allocated to a community treasury, while 15% is earmarked for Solana Mobile itself and 10% for Solana Labs.

SKR will also incorporate a linear inflation model, intended to reward early participants who stake tokens to help secure and scale the mobile ecosystem. Inflation begins at 10% in Year 1, then decays by 25% annually until it reaches a terminal rate of 2%, where it is expected to stabilize. Solana Mobile said this design is meant to bootstrap activity during the platform’s growth phase while maintaining predictable, sustainable issuance over time.

The Seeker phone, launched this past August, is Solana Mobile’s next-generation handset, expanding on the company’s first-edition Saga device with upgraded hardware and a deeper integration of decentralized, onchain features.
