The company also revealed full information regarding the token supply, usage, and how that token will foster growth in its increasingly large ecosystem. With a total supply of 10 billion tokens, it will be key in how users earn rewards, support builders, and vote on platform decisions.
The $SKR token supply will be fixed at 10 billion.
Mostly of the supply is allocated to the community,
30% Airdrop: To reward early users; meanwhile,
25% Partnerships: To make the expansion of the ecosystem faster.
10% Launch: Reserved for liquidity and the official launch.
10% community treasury: Reserved for community
10% Solana Labs: To the ecosystem
15% Project Team: for operations and development.

This indicates how much the project wants to grow with strong community involvement.
The currency will also follow an inflation system: 10% in the first year, which over time, with each passing year, will slowly decrease until it hits a stable 2%. This model rewards early users who stake their tokens and help to build the network at the outset.
It will power everything inside the ecosystem from launch. Users will be able to stake SKR to trusted groups called Guardians. These Guardians help to secure devices, review apps to ensure that they are safe, and generally ensure that community rules are followed. It can also be utilized in support of the developers, curation in the dApp Store, and participation in governance.
For the early days, Solana Mobile will be the first Guardian. More well-known crypto teams like Helius, DoubleZero, Triton One, Jito, and Anza are expected to join in 2026 as Guardians.
In other Solana news, While excitement is building for the SKR token, a recent security report raises a few concerns. Ledger revealed that it was able to gain complete control over a smartphone using electromagnetic pulses. The test targeted the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip, which is a processor also used in the Seeker phone.
He added that, if this was done, attackers could steal the private keys stored on the phone. MediaTek's response was that the chip is for consumer devices and not for high-security crypto storage, and any hardware wallet should use stronger protection against such attacks.
This is an exciting yet cautious time for Solana Mobile users. It will brings new ways to earn, support builders, and take part in the shaping of open mobile technology's future.
At the same time, the recent chip security issue serves as a reminder to users that being careful about storing private keys directly on mobile devices should also be exercised. As January 2026 approaches, all eyes are on Solana Mobile, the SKR token listing date announcement, and ultimately how that new mobile crypto ecosystem will grow.
