{"id":"seeker-solana","title":"Seeker (Solana)","content":"**Seeker** is the native governance and utility token for the Solana Mobile ecosystem, a project designed to create a decentralized alternative to the mobile platform duopoly of Apple and Google. The ecosystem, developed by [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Mobile, is centered around the Seeker web3-native mobile device and is powered by the SKR token. Launched in January 2026, the project aims to establish a community-owned mobile platform that offers developers more freedom and provides users with unrestricted access to web3 applications. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-HH9fHV4MevxzWrWi)​\n\n## Overview\n\nThe [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Mobile project was created to address challenges in the mobile industry, particularly the centralized control, high commission fees, and restrictive policies of dominant app stores like Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-VXaDvsIfYNFJlrDu) The project's vision is to build an open mobile platform where rules are transparent and community-driven rather than dictated by corporate gatekeepers. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-tDfCvydU51pl4xcJ) [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Mobile's strategy involves using its flagship hardware, the Seeker device, to demonstrate the value of its open ecosystem and encourage other hardware manufacturers to adopt the platform. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-VXaDvsIfYNFJlrDu)\n\nThe ecosystem's core components include the Seeker device, the SKR token, a decentralized dApp store, and a novel security architecture called TEEPIN (Trusted Execution Environment Platform Infrastructure Network). [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-tDfCvydU51pl4xcJ) This framework is designed to create an economic \"flywheel\" that aligns the incentives of users, developers, hardware partners, and network operators known as Guardians. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-zsUEHCSrvHsfD8tR) In the words of the project developers, \"SKR distributes control, powers curation, and aligns incentives across builders, users, and hardware partners.\" [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-tDfCvydU51pl4xcJ) As of early 2026, over 150,000 Seeker devices had been onboarded into the ecosystem. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-tDfCvydU51pl4xcJ)\n\n## History\n\n### Pre-Launch Activity\n\nPrior to the official launch of the SKR token, [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Mobile initiated a growth phase referred to as \"Seeker Season.\" This period, taking place in late 2025 and early 2026, was focused on bringing [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana)-based decentralized applications (dApps) to the mobile platform. The initiative involved over 175 dApps and generated more than $100 million in economic activity. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-tDfCvydU51pl4xcJ) This initial phase, later termed \"Seeker Season 1,\" laid the groundwork for the token launch by fostering a significant base of active users and applications. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-Zx2NGAMS9TXpg9uk)\n\n### Token Launch and Airdrop\n\n[Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Mobile announced plans in late 2025 for a January 2026 launch of its native ecosystem token, SKR. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-HH9fHV4MevxzWrWi) The SKR Token Generation Event (TGE) occurred around January 21, 2026, which also marked the beginning of the airdrop claim period for early participants. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-HH9fHV4MevxzWrWi) [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-WYGYDxhUsccAeUzE) The token began trading on public exchanges shortly after the TGE. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-HH9fHV4MevxzWrWi)\n\nThe launch included a major airdrop of nearly 2 billion SKR, representing 20% of the total supply, to reward \"Seeker Season 1\" participants. [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-WYGYDxhUsccAeUzE)\n\n* **User Allocations:** 1.819 billion SKR were allocated to 100,908 users who had activated their Seeker Genesis Token and passed anti-sybil filtering. Allocations were distributed across five tiers based on on-chain activity:\n  * **Scout:** 5,000 SKR\n  * **Prospector:** 10,000 SKR\n  * **Vanguard:** 40,000 SKR\n  * **Luminary:** 125,000 SKR\n  * **Sovereign:** 750,000 SKR\n* **Developer Allocations:** 141 million SKR were distributed to 188 developers who had submitted a high-quality dApp during Season 1, with each receiving 750,000 SKR.\n\nThe claim period for the airdrop was set for 90 days, starting January 21, 2026. Any unclaimed tokens after the deadline of April 20, 2026, were designated to be returned to a community airdrop pool for future distribution. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-Zx2NGAMS9TXpg9uk) Following the launch, [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Mobile initiated \"Seeker Season 2,\" an ongoing phase focused on new featured apps and ecosystem growth rewards. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-Zx2NGAMS9TXpg9uk)\n\n## Technology\n\n### Seeker Device\n\nThe Seeker is a crypto-native smartphone developed by [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Mobile as the successor to its first device, the [Saga](https://iq.wiki/wiki/saga). [\\[7\\]](#cite-id-7nxEVgtCypsS9DYX) It serves as the primary hardware interface for the [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Mobile ecosystem and is designed with integrated web3 functionalities. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-zsUEHCSrvHsfD8tR)\n\nKey features include:\n\n* **Seed Vault:** A built-in hardware security feature that isolates cryptographic keys and seed phrases from the Android operating system, providing secure management of crypto assets. It is also the primary interface for claiming SKR allocations and staking. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-zsUEHCSrvHsfD8tR) [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-Zx2NGAMS9TXpg9uk)\n* **Seeker ID:** A unified, on-chain identity solution that provides users with a single username across the ecosystem's applications. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-zsUEHCSrvHsfD8tR)\n* **Solana dApp Store:** A dedicated, decentralized application marketplace for discovering and accessing dApps built for the [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Mobile platform. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-zsUEHCSrvHsfD8tR)\n\n### TEEPIN Architecture\n\nThe foundational technology of the [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Mobile platform is the TEEPIN (Trusted Execution Environment Platform Infrastructure Network). It is a decentralized physical infrastructure network ([DePIN](https://iq.wiki/wiki/depin)) specifically designed to coordinate mobile hardware and software. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-VXaDvsIfYNFJlrDu) TEEPIN leverages the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)—a secure, isolated area within a device's main processor—that is standard in most modern smartphones. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-VXaDvsIfYNFJlrDu)\n\nThe TEEPIN architecture consists of three layers:\n\n* **Hardware Layer:** Utilizes the device's TEE to generate cryptographic proofs of its unique identity, secure boot status, and software integrity. This allows the device to verifiably attest to its state on-chain. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-VXaDvsIfYNFJlrDu)\n* **Platform Layer:** The functional layer where verified dApps from the dApp store interact with authenticated users on TEEPIN-enabled devices. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-VXaDvsIfYNFJlrDu)\n* **Network Layer:** The governance and security structure managed by Guardians, who perform the verification and curation tasks that underpin the network's decentralization. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-VXaDvsIfYNFJlrDu)\n\n### Decentralized dApp Store\n\nA core component of the Seeker ecosystem is its decentralized dApp store, which offers a permissionless alternative to incumbent app stores. Unlike centralized platforms, it is governed by the community of SKR token holders through the Guardian network. This model removes central points of failure and censorship risks. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-HH9fHV4MevxzWrWi) Developers can submit apps to the store without platform fees. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-tDfCvydU51pl4xcJ) To deter malicious submissions and provide a sybil resistance mechanism, developers are required to post a bond of 100 SKR per application, which is held in a three-month timelocked contract. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-VXaDvsIfYNFJlrDu)\n\n## SKR Token\n\nSeeker (SKR) is an SPL token on the [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) blockchain that functions as the native utility and governance asset for the [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Mobile platform. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-HH9fHV4MevxzWrWi)\n\n* **Token Name:** Seeker\n* **Ticker:** SKR\n* **Blockchain:** [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana)\n* **Token Standard:** SPL\n* **Maximum Supply:** 10,000,000,000 SKR\n* **Contract Address:** `SKRbvo6Gf7GondiT3BbTfuRDPqLWei4j2Qy2NPGZhW3`\n* **Staking Program ID:** `SKRskrmtL83pcL4YqLWt6iPefDqwXQWHSw9S9vz94BZ`\n\n### Tokenomics\n\nThe total supply of 10 billion SKR is allocated to support various aspects of the ecosystem's growth and operation. The distribution includes vesting schedules to align long-term incentives. [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-rYWdXnkNUEmIjuuh)\n\n| Category | Allocation | Unlock Schedule |\n| :--- | :--- | :-- |\n| **Airdrops** | 30% | Unlocked at launch (TGE) |\n| **Growth + Partnerships** | 25% | 28% unlocked at TGE, followed by a linear unlock over 18 months |\n| **Solana Mobile Team** | 15% | 12-month cliff, then a 36-month linear vest |\n| **Liquidity + Launch** | 10% | Unlocked at TGE |\n| **Solana Labs** | 10% | 12-month cliff, then a 36-month linear vest |\n| **Community Treasury** | 10% | Unlocked at TGE, managed by governance |\n\n### Inflation Schedule\n\nThe SKR token employs a dynamic inflation model designed to incentivize early participation, with the rate decreasing over time.\n\n* **Year 1 Inflation:** 10% (an additional 1 billion SKR).\n* **Annual Decay:** The inflation rate is reduced by 25% each year.\n* **Terminal Rate:** The inflation rate will eventually settle at a permanent 2% per annum.\n\nThis inflation is the source of rewards for users who stake their SKR tokens to help secure the network. [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-rYWdXnkNUEmIjuuh)\n\n### Token Utility\n\nThe SKR token serves multiple functions within the [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Mobile ecosystem:\n\n* **Governance:** SKR holders can delegate their stake to Guardians to participate in platform governance, influencing decisions on protocol upgrades, treasury management, and network parameters. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-HH9fHV4MevxzWrWi) [\\[9\\]](#cite-id-lrU7kZDP9ZIefA1T)\n* **Staking:** Users can stake SKR tokens to help secure the TEEPIN network and earn staking rewards in return. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-HH9fHV4MevxzWrWi)\n* **Incentives:** The token is used to reward developers for building on the platform and users for engaging with the ecosystem. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-HH9fHV4MevxzWrWi)\n* **Payments:** SKR can be used as a-means of payment for products and services. A promotion launched in February 2026 offered a 50% discount on the Seeker phone when purchased with SKR. The SKR spent on these discounted phones is returned to the community pool for future airdrops. [\\[7\\]](#cite-id-7nxEVgtCypsS9DYX)\n* **Network Fees:** The token is designed to be used for future network services, such as fees for app deployments or for utilizing TEEPIN computational resources, which can be enabled by governance once the ecosystem matures. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-VXaDvsIfYNFJlrDu)\n\n## Governance\n\nThe governance of the [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Mobile platform is designed to be decentralized and is managed through a system of Guardians and SKR token staking. [\\[9\\]](#cite-id-lrU7kZDP9ZIefA1T)\n\n### Guardians\n\nGuardians are independent node operators who are responsible for securing the platform and enforcing community-defined standards. Their role is analogous to that of validators in other distributed networks. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-VXaDvsIfYNFJlrDu)\n\nKey responsibilities of Guardians include:\n\n* Programmatically verifying the integrity and authenticity of devices joining the network by checking cryptographic proofs generated by the device's TEE.\n* Coordinating the review process for dApp submissions to ensure they are not malicious and conform to ecosystem rules.\n* Running automated security checks and generating proofs that dApps can use to prevent sybil attacks.\n* Distributing staking rewards to users who have delegated SKR to them.\n\nTo become a Guardian, an operator must post a bond of 250,000 SKR, an amount that is subject to change via community governance. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-VXaDvsIfYNFJlrDu) To bootstrap the network, [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) Mobile operated the first Guardian node with a 0% commission. [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-rYWdXnkNUEmIjuuh) The system is designed to transition to third-party operators, with applications slated to open in 2026. [\\[9\\]](#cite-id-lrU7kZDP9ZIefA1T) Several entities, including [Helius](https://iq.wiki/wiki/helius), [DoubleZero](https://iq.wiki/wiki/doublezero), Anza, Triton, and [Jito](https://iq.wiki/wiki/jito), were announced as forthcoming Guardian operators for 2026. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-tDfCvydU51pl4xcJ)\n\n### Staking\n\nSKR token holders can participate in network governance and earn rewards by [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) their tokens. [Staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) involves delegating SKR to a chosen Guardian, whose voting power is weighted by the total stake delegated to them. [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-rYWdXnkNUEmIjuuh) [Staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) can be performed directly from the Seed Vault wallet on a Seeker device or via a dedicated web portal. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-Zx2NGAMS9TXpg9uk)\n\n[Staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) rewards are paid out from network inflation every 48 hours and are automatically compounded. As of early February 2026, over 40% of the claimed SKR supply had been staked. [\\[7\\]](#cite-id-7nxEVgtCypsS9DYX) The unstaking process is subject to a 48-hour cooldown period, or one epoch, before the tokens become fully liquid. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-Zx2NGAMS9TXpg9uk)\n\n## Ecosystem and Adoption\n\nAs of February 9, 2026, the SKR token was actively traded and integrated into the broader [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) ecosystem.\n\n### Market Data\n\n* **Circulating Supply:** 5,331,911,038 SKR\n* **Market Capitalization:** $127.04 million\n* **All-Time High:** $0.05742 (January 22, 2026)\n* **All-Time Low:** $0.005248 (January 21, 2026)\n* **Exchanges:** SKR is traded on centralized and decentralized exchanges, including [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase), [Bybit](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bybit), [KuCoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/kucoin), [Gate.io](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gate), and Orca.\n\nAll market data is as of February 9, 2026. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-HH9fHV4MevxzWrWi)​\n\n### dApp Integrations and Promotions\n\nFollowing the token launch, numerous [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) dApps integrated SKR to offer rewards and utility, fostering wider adoption. Promotional campaigns included:\n\n* **Jupiter:** A $50,000 prize pool in SKR.\n* **ORE Supply:** Enabled mining of its token using SKR.\n* **WIDI:** A social trading dApp with a 375,000 SKR prize pool.\n* **Deks:** Offered SKR cashback for spending crypto at physical stores.\n* **Mattle:** A trading game offering in-game SKR rewards.\n* **Radr:** A private trading app with $5,000 in SKR rewards.\n* **TurbineCash:** A privacy protocol enabling private transfers of SKR.\n\nAn official dashboard for tracking airdrop and ecosystem metrics was also made available on [Dune](https://iq.wiki/wiki/dune) Analytics.
