The launch comes at a time when Solanaâs price is hovering around $120â$130, an area analysts see as decisive for the tokenâs medium-term direction. SKR debuted at around $0.006 and climbed above $0.01 within hours of launch, pushing its market capitalization past $70 million.
More than 100,000 users are eligible to claim the airdrop through the Seeker phoneâs built-in wallet over a 90-day window. Any unclaimed tokens will be returned to the general distribution pool.
Solana SKR Airdrop Targets Users and Developers
Solana Mobile allocated 30% of SKRâs fixed 10 billion token supply to airdrops and early unlocks. Nearly 2 billion SKR are being distributed to Seeker phone owners and developers who deployed âquality appsâ in the Solana dApp Store during Season 1.
The company said the token underpins governance, incentives, and economic activity within the Solana Mobile ecosystem. SKR can be staked directly from the Seed Vault wallet, with inflation events occurring every 48 hours. The annual inflation rate starts at 10% and declines by 25% each year until it stabilizes at 2%.
The airdrop coincides with the start of Seekerâs Season 2 campaign, which introduces a refreshed app catalog, rewards programs, and a focus on sectors such as DeFi, gaming, payments, trading, and decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN).
Community reaction has been mixed. Some users reported receiving several thousand dollarsâ worth of SKR, while others reported allocations closer to $50â$100. Some users expressed disappointment, citing delays in phone delivery and additional shipping costs.
SOL Price Near Key SupportWhile SKR draws attention to Solanaâs mobile strategy, the SOL token itself is facing a technical test. After breaking below $136, SOL has slipped into the $120â$127 zone, where an ascending trendline from the 2023 lows meets historical horizontal support.
This area has previously acted as both resistance and support, making it a closely watched âflip zoneâ for traders. A sustained hold above $120 could open the door to a recovery toward the $135â$150 range. A breakdown, however, may expose downside targets near $110 or even $100.

Short-term indicators show some stabilization. SOL recently bounced from around $124 to near $128, supported by renewed ETF inflows of roughly $3.08 million and spot market accumulation of about $9.31 million. These flows suggest buyers are stepping in at current levels.
