Your Seeker Activity will largely determine how big your next SKR airdrop is 📱 Many users have struggled to reach or maintain Level 5 since the scoring update. Solana Mobile now rewards natural Seed Vault use over repetitive farming. What seems to help: → Stay active across the rolling 30-day window → Rotate DEXs, pairs & transaction sizes → Use games and dApps that create real onchain activity → Mix swaps with staking, claims & occasional mints Consistency & variety > repeating the same transaction.

Wen is the next Seeker Airdrop? 📱🪂 There's still ~1,000,000,000 SKR sitting in the airdrop pool. And Seeker Season 2 still hasn't ended. Season 1 ran 4 months. Season 2 is at 8 months, with no end date announced. So what's actually left for future airdrops? → 3B SKR set aside for airdrops in total → Season 1 paid out 1.96B of it → Seeker Summer spent another 111M → Roughly 1B left for Season 2 & beyond That's about half of what Season 1 paid, spread across a bigger user base. So I don't expect 750,000 Sovereign drops again. What counts changed too. Solana Mobile nerfed farmed txs in August. So it's natural wallet use, dApp Store exploration, daily driver behaviour & staking that matter now. Timing is anyone's guess. Mine is January 2027, a year after Season 1 closed. Q4 or January - what's your bet? 👀

A good time to be a builder on @solana There are three major builder competitions live around the Solana ecosystem right now, covering general crypto, tokenized equities, and mobile apps. 1.
