What is the value of the Solana phone SKR airdrop, and a preview before tomorrow's TGE

BlockBeats News, January 20 — Solana Mobile will officially open the SKR token airdrop distribution at 10:00 (UTC+8) on January 21. According to community feedback, users who receive the phone without interacting can get a minimum airdrop of 5,000 tokens, while users who interact once can receive a 10,000-tier airdrop. Higher-tier airdrops require frequent interaction with built-in Dapps. The token airdrop amounts for the 5 tiers are 5,000, 10,000, 40,000, 125,000, and up to 750,000 tokens. In this airdrop, nearly 2 billion SKR tokens are distributed to the community, with about 1.82 billion SKR allocated to 100,908 users and 141 million SKR allocated to 188 developers.

According to pre-market Whales Market data, the current pre-trading price of SKR is $0.0165, a 7.5% decrease over 24 hours, corresponding to a fully diluted market cap of $165 million. Community opinions on SKR’s final valuation after launch vary, but generally, there is optimism that the token price will be between $0.02 and $0.04, higher than the current pre-market price. Some community viewpoints are as follows:

Crypto analyst 7de9 stated that the pre-market pricing from Whales Market is completely wrong, and the FDV of $165 million is a joke. He estimates the minimum market cap to be between $400 million and $600 million. SKR is not just an interaction reward but also a governance and participation role covering the entire Solana Mobile platform.

Solana ecosystem veteran investor Marino has a more neutral view, believing that at TGE, the token price should be around $0.02, neither too high nor too low, balancing market speculation and avoiding excessive selling pressure. A lower FDV is conducive to natural growth, and SKR will ultimately be positioned as “Solana’s secondary token.”

Renowned DeFi researcher InfoSpace OG expressed some disappointment, stating that the average distribution amount of SKR airdrops is between 10,000 and 18,000 tokens. Based on pre-market prices, this is valued at $130 to $230. Don’t forget that users spent $450-$600 to purchase the phone at launch. Honestly, the price seems a bit low.
