Solana Mobile confirmed Wednesday that its SKR governance token will launch Jan. 21, completing plans announced in December for a 10 billion token fixed supply.

The company stated that a snapshot has already been taken for airdrop allocation. SKR will distribute 20% of total supply to eligible users and developers through the airdrop mechanism.

SKR functions as the governance and incentive layer for Solana Mobile's ecosystem, which centers on its Seeker smartphone and decentralized app store. Token holders will stake SKR to Guardians, a delegated group that secures the platform and participates in governance decisions.

The Jan. 21 launch provides Seeker users with a clear timeline as anticipation builds around airdrop mechanics. Staking and governance features will activate following the token launch.

Solana Mobile's December announcement established the 10 billion token supply framework. The company designed SKR to integrate directly with its hardware products and application ecosystem.

Guardian staking will enable token holders to participate in network security while earning rewards. The governance structure allows SKR holders to influence platform development and strategic decisions through the Guardian delegation system.

The airdrop targets early adopters who purchased Seeker devices and developers building applications for the Solana Mobile ecosystem. Snapshot timing ensures distribution reflects historical participation rather than last-minute positioning.

Solana Mobile positioned the token launch as a step toward decentralized governance for its growing mobile ecosystem. The company emphasized that SKR creates economic alignment between users, developers, and the platform's long-term success.
