Solana Mobile to Launch SKR Token in January 2026, Powering Its Expanding Device Ecosystem

Solana Mobile will launch its SKR token in January 2026, expanding the role of its hardware push inside the Solana ecosystem.

Co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko confirmed the timing in a post on X responding to a Solana Mobile update that “SKR is coming in January 2026.” 

SKR will act as the native asset for Solana Mobile, underpinning governance-like controls, incentives, and ownership rights for users and developers on Solana-powered phones and applications.

Details About The New SRK Token

The token will have a fixed supply of 10 billion. At launch, 30% of that supply is allocated for airdrops and initial unlocks. Solana Mobile said those airdrops are intended for “Seeker users, active dApp users, etc.,” indicating that early Seeker buyers and active users of Solana apps will be among the first recipients.

New SKR will also be created over time through inflation, Solana Mobile said. Accordingly, the inflation rate starts at 10% in the first year. Each year, it falls by 25% of the previous rate until it reaches 2%. After that, it is expected to stay at 2%. 

Solana Mobile says this is meant to give stronger rewards at the start, when the platform is small, and then slow down once it is more mature.

Seeker, released in August as the follow-up to the Saga phone, runs Android and is built around direct access to Solana-based apps and on-chain features, with SKR expected to sit at the center of that setup.

SOL is currently trading at US$145 (AU$219), a 7.2% increase in the last two weeks, according to CoinGecko.
