The last four weeks showed the Solana Mobile ecosystem flywheel in motion.
Season 1 SKR claims wrapped with ~90% claimed and ~70% of circulating SKR staked. MONOLITH saw hundreds of builders ship the next wave of Solana Mobile apps. Miami brought builders together IRL. The BOGO promo put more Seekers into more hands.
Here's what shipped.
Developer Ecosystem Growth & SKR Season 1 Claims Wrap
The Season 1 SKR airdrop claim window closed on April 21. ~90% of allocated SKR was claimed by Seeker holders. The remaining ~200M SKR rolled into the future airdrop pool. At wrap, roughly 70% of circulating SKR was staked with 90K+ holders in the ecosystem.
Blockworks Research highlighted a similar growth pattern on the builder side: Solana Mobile developer growth up 106% QoQ, while the Solana dApp Store has crossed 800 apps. And Seekers have been staying incredibly active, accounting for 2% of total Solana spot DEX volume and 0.3% of stablecoin transfer volume in Q1 2026.

Seeker is Global: Building IRL 🌍
Solana Mobile was everywhere in Miami the week of May 4 to 10.
Solana Mobile sponsored Ship Week at @ThePortMiami from May 4 to 10, featuring live workshops, builder hangs, and community time.
The @easya_app x Consensus 2026 hackathon ran May 5 to 7, with Solana Mobile sponsoring a track featuring $30K in SKR prizes. The competition was fierce, but only three could emerge victorious…big congrats to the Solana Mobile track winners: Parabola, Snakr, and Rhythm!
The builder push extended beyond Consensus too. @dev3pack ran its first hackathon with a Solana Mobile track. Check out @beeman_nl's post here recapping the winners.
Outside Miami, Solana Mobile showed up in Venezuela, with community presence at the @SolanaVenezuela launch event.
Seeker in the Media
- @ValidatedPod with @m_it dropped on May 5. Emmett covered production, SKR, developer strategy, Android OEM partnerships, and more.
- @MilkRoad covered Solana Mobile's phase 2 plan to embed the Solana Mobile Stack into existing Android phones.
- @magicblock co-founder @supermarioblock called Seeker user quality “insane,” pointing to average spend from early active users.
