Solana's Seeker smartphone brand has launched a one-week promotion that cuts the price of the Seeker phone by 50%, with one condition attached: buyers must pay in SKR using Solana Pay. The company also said every SKR token used in the campaign will be sent back into a future airdrop reward pool, a detail that quickly sparked debate across the community.
The discount only appears with Solana Pay and SKR
According to the source material, users need to go to the official website during the event, click the order page, fill in shipping details in English, enter a phone number, confirm shipping, and then choose a payment method. The discounted price appears only if the buyer selects Solana Pay and sets SKR as the payment token.
In the Taiwan market example cited in the report, the final payment comes to about $262, or roughly NT$7,900. At the time of writing, that translated to around 9,800 to 10,500 SKR. The report also noted that shipping to Taiwan was free.
Company says the collected SKR will return to a future airdrop pool
The mechanics behind the sale drew as much attention as the lower price itself. Seeker said the SKR collected from phone purchases would not be sold into the market. Instead, all of it would be placed into a future airdrop pool. That means the promotion does more than move hardware inventory; it also pulls distributed tokens back into the ecosystem under a delayed redistribution plan.
This structure led to heavy discussion. Some viewed it as a token recovery mechanism tied to device sales. Others focused on the link between hardware purchases, airdrop expectations, and user incentives. The source article also raised the question of whether similar promotions could become part of future sales cycles, though it did not cite any official confirmation on that point.
SKR rebounded to $0.031 after the announcement
SKR reacted quickly in the market. The report said the token, which had already started to pull back, reversed course after the promotion was announced and climbed as high as $0.031. Its single-day gain reached 31%.
The discussion now centers on two clear issues: whether the half-price offer can boost Seeker device sales, and how much value the SKR-only payment rule adds to token demand. The original material did not provide any additional statement from the company beyond the airdrop-pool explanation.
