Solana mobile Seeker Summer opens the first round of grants! SKR can receive up to 3,000 tokens

Solana Mobile announced on Saturday (7/18) that the SKR token claiming for the Seeker Summer Round 1 has officially opened. Eligible participants can check their allocation in the Seed Vault Wallet and claim their quota. This round is divided into three tiers based on participation level: Level 3 receives 3000 SKR, Level 2 receives 2000 SKR, and Level 1 receives 1000 SKR, with additional bonus allocations for some particularly active Level 3 users. The official said the claiming window lasts only 30 days, which is two-thirds shorter than the 90 days for the initial launch airdrop earlier this January.

Key takeaways

• SKR claiming for Seeker Summer Round 1 is now live, distributed in three tiers: Level 3 gets 3000, Level 2 gets 2000, and Level 1 gets 1000.
• The claiming path is the Seed Vault Wallet for Seeker devices. Go to the Activity Tracking page and click “Check Available Allocations.” The official says the window is 30 days.
• After claiming, you can stake to earn rewards from Guardians nodes. In the initial launch airdrop earlier this year, users who received allocations—over 40%—chose to stake instead of selling.

If you bought a Seeker phone, you can boot it up now (laughs). Solana Mobile has announced that the SKR token claiming campaign for Seeker Summer Round 1 is officially underway. Eligible participants can now check how much they were allocated via Seed Vault Wallet and claim it directly.

This round is split into three tiers by participation level: 3000 SKR for Level 3 users, 2000 SKR for Level 2 users, and 1000 SKR for Level 1 users. Additionally, some particularly active Level 3 participants will receive extra bonus allocations.

How to claim the three tiers

The official outlining is very clear: open the Seeker device, go to Seed Vault Wallet, open the Activity Tracking page (the rightmost tab), select the top “Available Allocations,” and then complete the claim.

If you haven’t kept working on the phone after the original airdrop—e.g., you didn’t download a new dApp and do on-chain activities—then you might see “No Allocations,” meaning no airdrop for you.

Be sure to keep a little SOL in your wallet to pay transaction gas fees. In the initial launch airdrop in January, the number the official suggested was around 0.01 SOL, and this time it should not differ too much. If you have no SOL, you won’t be able to proceed—this is where people get stuck during every airdrop.

Seeker Summer is part of Seeker Season 2, running from July 7 to August 30. It is divided into four rounds, each lasting two weeks, for a total of 16 curated Solana app spotlights. Each app includes two tasks; once completed, you get a collection badge, and the badge will be stored in the Solana dApp Store and Seed Vault Wallet. In other words, Round 1 is just the first round among the four, with three more chances later.

30-day window

The official says this claiming window will last 30 days.

This number is worth comparing. In the first SKR airdrop in January, the official offered a 90-day window, and unclaimed tokens permanently expire after April 20. The initial round’s scale was 1.82B SKR distributed to 100,908 users, split into five tiers, with an additional 188 developers receiving 750k SKR each.

After you claim, you can stake it

After receiving your SKR, you can stake it to earn rewards. There are two channels: stake directly to the Guardians in Seed Vault Wallet, or participate via the SKR Staking web interface.

Guardians are the node operators of the Solana Mobile network. They verify Seeker devices and review dApp listings; staking is effectively casting votes to them. This mechanism has fairly strong acceptance. After the initial launch airdrop earlier this year, over 40% of Seeker users who received SKR allocations chose to stake their tokens instead of selling them directly.

But how many coins you got is one thing—how much those coins are worth is another. On the day SKR began trading in January 21, the price kept being revised down from the pre-market level by 46%. At the time, the community’s optimistic expectations completely missed the mark, and this prior example is still very recent.

On-chain Daily also compiled an air-drop data analysis back in January. At the time, the observation was that participation after the second quarter could be more worthwhile. Now that Season 2’s first round has opened, that judgment is right entering the acceptance period.

Common questions

How do I claim SKR for Seeker Summer Round 1?

Open the Seeker device and enter Seed Vault Wallet. Open the Activity Tracking page, select “Check Available Allocations,” and complete the claim. The wallet needs a small amount of SOL to pay transaction fees; the official suggested around 0.01 SOL for the initial launch airdrop.

How much SKR is allocated to each tier in this round?

There are three tiers: Level 3 users get 3000 SKR, Level 2 users get 2000 SKR, and Level 1 users get 1000 SKR. Some highly active Level 3 participants will also receive additional bonus allocations. The official says the claiming window is 30 days.

What can I do with the SKR after I claim it?

You can stake to earn rewards. There are two ways: stake to Guardians nodes directly in Seed Vault Wallet, or participate through the SKR Staking web interface. After the initial launch airdrop earlier this year, over 40% of users who received allocations chose to stake.
