Remember the Solana Saga phone that kicked off the Solana Mobile initiative back in April 2023? Priced at $1,000 initially, it gained massive popularity among crypto enthusiasts due to bundled airdrops like

, which turned early buyers into unexpected winners as token values soared.
Fast forward, and Solana Mobile’s second-generation device, the Seeker, launched for pre-orders in late 2024 with shipments starting on August 4, 2025. It was offered at $450 during the limited Founder window, $500 for early adopters, and later rose to around $600 at retail, making it far more accessible than its predecessor.
People snapped it primarily for the high anticipation of lucrative airdrops similar to Saga’s. Over 150,000 pre-orders.
Finally, Solana Mobile has locked in January 21, 2026 (at 2:00 AM UTC), as the launch date for its eagerly awaited SKR token, solidifying the schedule for one of this year’s biggest mobile crypto airdrops.

SKR serves as the governance and incentive token for the Solana Mobile ecosystem. Solana Mobile is pioneering Web3-centric smartphones like the Seeker, alongside a decentralized app store where no central entity dictates app listings, removals, or steep fees, empowering developers and users against censorship and high costs.
The token has a fixed supply of 10 billion, with 30% earmarked for airdrops to reward early adopters and builders. A snapshot for eligibility has already occurred, meaning recent Seeker purchasers won’t qualify for this round. Additional allocations include 25% for growth and partnerships, 10% for a community treasury, 15% for the Solana Mobile team, 10% for Solana Labs, and 10% for liquidity and launch support.
During Seeker Season, users processed over 9 million transactions and $2.6 billion in volume. That activity now turns into ownership.
This also feeds back into the broader Solana ecosystem. More mobile users mean more on-chain activity, which supports demand for SOL, the network’s main token.

SOL Price Action: Steady Amid SKR Airdrop News
SOL is trading around $135, down slightly (about 2–3%) in the last 24 hours but holding steady overall despite the broader crypto market’s mild consolidation. The recent confirmation of the SKR token launch on January 21 triggered some hype, yet SOL’s price reaction has been notably muted: no explosive pumps, just quiet resilience. This calm reflects maturing sentiment: investors are eyeing long-term ecosystem growth from mobile adoption rather than short-term hype flips.

Trading volume remains healthy at over $4–5 billion daily, with SOL outperforming some alts over the past week (+8–10% in spots). Key support sits near $130, while resistance looms at $140–$145.
If mobile on-chain activity surges post-SKR, analysts see potential for a push toward $150+ soon, rewarding patient holders as crypto shifts into pockets worldwide. Watch closely; volatility could spike as launch day nears.
