Solana Mobile Unveils SKR Token Strategy

Solana Mobile has presented the SKR token to decentralize the management of the app and enlarge the dominance over its mobile domain.

Solana Mobile has unveiled the release of the SKR token, which is another stride in decentralizing its mobile ecosystems. The token will become operational on January 21 and will provide users with more control over the process of approving and controlling applications that are accessible on the mobile app store of Solana.

The company notes that SKR holders that stake their tokens will be able to appoint so-called Guardians, the independent Solana node operators, who will ensure application vetting. The yield earned by these stakers will also be strengthened in the mobile framework by reinforcement. A number of companies that are closely allied with Solana Labs, such as Anza, DoubleZero, Helius, and Jito, will be expected to be Guardians in 2026.

Solana Mobile claimed that the project is meant to create an open mobile ecosystem, which will lessen the dependence on tightly controlled ecosystems, which are mainly controlled by Apple and Google. In August, the company launched its second-generation mobile device, the Seeker, and it targeted crypto-centric customers who were interested in getting an alternative to regular smartphones.

The total supply of SKR will be 10 billion tokens. Over fifty of them will be immediate, with the rest vesting within up to three years. One airdrop will be done on January 21, which will allocate 30% of the airdrop, and there shall be allocations of the airdrop to employees, growth initiatives and partnerships. Supply will be increasing at first by 10 percent, and then it will slowly reduce to 2.
