Airdrop

An Airdrop is a distribution of free tokens to a community, typically used as a marketing tool or a reward for early protocol adopters and testers. In 2026, the "points-to-airdrop" model has matured into merit-based incentive programs that utilize Sybil-resistance and Proof-of-Humanity to filter out bots. Airdrops remain a primary method for decentralized governance (DAO) bootstrapping. Follow this tag for the latest on retroactive rewards, eligibility criteria, and how to participate in the most anticipated token distributions in the ecosystem.

According to Jinshi News, the US ADP employment figure for November was -32,000, compared to an expected 10,000 and a previous reading of 42,000. US SEC Chairman: Bitcoin Market Structure Bill to be Passed Soon According to The Bitcoin Historian, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins stated in a live interview with Fox News that a bill on the Bitcoin market structure is about to be passed. The yield on 30-year Japanese government bonds hit a new record high of 3.445%. The yield on Japan's 30-year government bonds hit a new record high of 3.445% on Thursday morning, after the Treasury Department was scheduled to sell 700 billion yen in notes within this range, with the results to be announced in the afternoon. Sony Financial Group economist Takayuki Miyajima stated, "While speculation about a Bank of Japan rate hike and concerns about fiscal expansion are driving selling pressure, the upcoming 30-year bond auction is expected to see a smooth result due to demand supported by high yields."

Finance: British police have apparently obtained Qian Zhimin's computer login password and a notebook containing his Bitcoin mnemonic phrase. According to Caijing Magazine, the computer Qian Zhimin took with him when he fled had a built-in cryptocurrency wallet. After several searches by British police, multiple mobile phones, computers, and USB drives were seized. One of the USB drives contained photos of pages from Qian Zhimin's laptop, which appeared to have been torn out before being seized by police. The photos showed the black computer's login password and several mnemonic phrases, such as "number + love," along with numerical hints, making the discovery of Bitcoin possible. Caijing also reported that last month, the Supreme People's Court held its eighth national criminal trial work conference, which mentioned improving judicial rules and focusing on new issues such as the handling of virtual currency cases and the authentication of electronic data. Opinion He Yi: In the future, we will focus on continuing Binance's culture, building systemic capabilities, and introducing more AI technologies. In an interview during Binance Blockchain Week, Binance Co-CEO He Yi stated that the implementation of the co-CEO system at Binance is not a significant change in job responsibilities, but rather a long-term strategic consideration. Current CEO Richard Teng, with his regulatory background and familiarity with compliance processes, serves as the best bridge between Binance and regulatory agencies, helping Binance elevate its compliance standards to a higher level. He Yi, leveraging her extensive experience as an "OG" (Original Group Leader), effectively maintains a user-centric culture within the company. Going forward, He Yi will focus on three key areas: continuing Binance's culture, building systemic capabilities, and introducing more AI technologies. He Yi frankly admitted that Binance still has areas to improve, including a less-than-smooth product experience, the need to learn from competitors in localization, and the need to strengthen technical stability. She believes the biggest challenge currently lies in talent density. He Yi denied rumors of "white gloves" in the listing process, stating that Binance has never had them, and many people in the market are impersonating individuals closely related to Binance or its founders to commit fraud. He Yi believes that future Bitcoin declines will not be as extreme as in past cycles because it is transitioning from a niche asset to a mainstream asset, and the cyclical logic is changing. Regarding Meme coin, she believes short-term sentiment drives price, but long-term value still needs to return to the logic of value investing. Regarding the Hong Kong market, she stated that Binance maintains an open and proactive attitude, respects regulations, and also recognizes the difficulties local exchanges face in accessing international liquidity, therefore choosing to proceed cautiously and gradually. Binance is open to connecting liquidity with compliant Hong Kong exchanges in the future, but industry feedback indicates that there are still obstacles at the implementation level. JPMorgan Chase: The risk of Strategy being removed from MSCI has been priced in by the market. According to Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase stated that Strategy Inc.'s stock price has already reflected the risk of being removed from major stock benchmark indices and sees the upcoming MSCI decision as a potential catalyst for an upward move, although removal would still trigger passive capital outflows. JPMorgan Chase previously estimated that if index-tracking funds were required to divest related assets, there could be as much as $2.8 billion in outflows. However, after a significant sell-off, JPMorgan Chase believes that most of the losses are already reflected in the stock price. Following the report's release, Strategy's stock price plummeted by approximately 20%, and is currently trading near the value of the company's Bitcoin holdings. In a report, their analyst team wrote, "In our view, the decision to remove Strategy from the MSCI index will have a limited negative impact on Strategy and Bitcoin, as the effects of the index removal have already been fully priced in. On the other hand, if MSCI's decision on January 15 is positive, then Strategy and Bitcoin's share prices and prices are likely to rebound strongly to levels seen before October 10." JPMorgan also reiterated its volatility-adjusted comparison of Bitcoin and gold, suggesting a theoretical price for Bitcoin approaching $170,000 over the next 6 to 12 months. While this prediction is speculative, it highlights the potential upside the bank sees ahead of the MSCI ruling. Uniswap founder accuses Citadel of trying to use the SEC to suppress DeFi developers. Uniswap founder Hayden Adams has accused Citadel Securities CEO Ken Griffin of following his interference in the Constitution DAO and now pushing the U.S. SEC to regulate DeFi protocol developers as centralized intermediaries. Adams claims Citadel has been lobbying behind the scenes for a long time and sarcastically remarks that Griffin's accusation of DeFi's inability to achieve "fair access" is absurd, reflecting the traditional market makers' aversion to open-source, decentralized liquidity mechanisms. Project Updates WLFI co-founder: A series of RWA products will be launched in January 2026. According to Reuters, World Liberty Financial, a crypto company backed by the Trump family, announced at an event in Dubai on Wednesday that it will launch a series of Real-World Asset (RWA) products in January, at the start of the first quarter of 2026. World Liberty Financial's stablecoin USD1 was used this year by MGX, an Abu Dhabi-backed company, to pay for its investment in Binance. Georgia is seeking to partner with Hedera to advance on-chain ownership and tokenization. The Georgian Ministry of Justice has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the public blockchain network Hedera and is currently considering putting the country's land registration system on the blockchain and tokenizing real estate. During a meeting between Georgian Justice Minister Paata Salia and representatives of Hedera, the two sides discussed the potential for integrating blockchain technology into public infrastructure. Georgian officials stated they are considering migrating data from the National Public Registry to a blockchain network, hoping this will "further ensure property rights protection and improve the transparency and reliability of the process." Furthermore, both sides are considering tokenizing real estate, a move quite similar to Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization projects. Currently, the agreement is only a non-binding memorandum of understanding. According to the announcement, the next step will be the establishment of a joint working group, including experts from the Ministry of Justice and the National Public Registry.

YZi Labs issued a rectification notice to 10X Capital, warning BNC shareholders of its "disruptive behavior". According to official sources, YZi Labs, a major shareholder of CEA Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNC), announced today that it has issued a formal notice of rectification and requirements to 10X Capital, the asset manager of BNC. The notice stems from 10X's mismanagement and lack of transparency regarding BNC assets, as well as potential breaches of its strategic services agreement with YZi Labs. The notice outlines what YZi Labs considers to be material and potential breaches of contract, serious breaches of fiduciary duty, and deficiencies in transparency and governance by 10X and its key personnel. The notice states that YZi Labs has received reliable information that 10X is threatening to force BNC to abandon its BNB asset management strategy. Just three months prior, BNC announced a $500 million PIPE investment to "build the company's BNB asset management business." Agreements between 10X and YZi Labs stipulate that, market conditions permitting, a majority of BNC's capital will be allocated to the BNB asset management strategy. However, the company's management has informed market participants of its plan to abandon the BNB ecosystem and instead invest in other cryptocurrencies such as Solana, violating its commitments to investors. Furthermore, the company's CEO and board members are accused of conflicts of interest, failing to disclose key information such as BNB holdings and share counts, and refusing to amend the allegedly unreasonable terms of the asset management agreement. Franklin Templeton announced the launch of its Solana ETF. Franklin Templeton announced on its X platform that the Franklin Solana ETF (ticker symbol: SOEZ) is now available.

Armstrong emphasized, "The best banks will accelerate their deployments, and the opponents will be eliminated." During the summit, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink also stated that Bitcoin has significant uses, noting that $4.1 trillion is held in global digital wallets, and asset tokenization will facilitate the more efficient circulation of these funds. Ethereum mainnet successfully activated the Fusaka upgrade, significantly improving data processing capabilities. Ethereum's official X account tweeted that Ethereum successfully activated the Fusaka upgrade at epoch 411392 (05:49 Beijing time, December 5th). This upgrade introduces the PeerDAS mechanism, increasing Rollup data throughput by 8 times. It also optimizes user experience through R1 curves and pre-confirmation mechanisms, and prepares for future scaling, such as increasing the L1 gas limit.

The proposal states that USDS's declining profitability and asymmetric risks in its issuance model make it unsuitable as collateral. MakerDAO founder Rune responded that there is a misunderstanding of the lending logic within the Sky ecosystem, and that USDS is expected to regain its collateral eligibility in the future as transparency and scalability improve.

According to Bloomberg, data from PitchBook shows that, thanks to favorable U.S. cryptocurrency policies, the total value of mergers and acquisitions involving major crypto companies this year has exceeded $8.6 billion as of November 20, a record high and surpassing the total of the previous four years.

Ripple CEO geeft XRP holders belangrijke tips voor december

December is uiteraard de maand van de feestdagen, familie, en samenzijn. Allemaal positieve dingen. Maar voor oplichters is het ook dé periode om toe te slaan. Mensen zijn druk, minder alert, en brengen meer tijd online door. En dus probeert Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse de XRP holders te helpen. Check onze Discord Connect met "like-minded" crypto enthousiastelingen Leer gratis de basis van Bitcoin & trading - stap voor stap, zonder voorkennis. Krijg duidelijke uitleg & charts van ervaren analisten. Sluit je aan bij een community die samen groeit. Nu naar Discord Een nieuwe campagne Garlinghouse waarschuwt dat crypto scams tijdens de feestdagen explosief toenemen en dat XRP holders bijzonder vaak doelwit zijn. Zijn advies is simpel maar dringend: blijf alert en neem even de tijd om ScamberryPie.com te bezoeken, een nieuwe campagne die scam bewustzijn toegankelijker moet maken. De Scamberry Pie campagne is bewust anders opgezet dan eerdere waarschuwingsacties. In plaats van technische termen en lange waarschuwingen probeert het initiatief scams juist bespreekbaar te maken in een vriendelijke setting. Het idee: “Hoe praat je aan de keukentafel met je familie over scams, zonder schaamte, angst of ingewikkelde woorden?” De visuals zijn vriendelijk, de uitleg kort, en de tips praktisch. Garlinghouse noemt het “een manier om een ongemakkelijk gesprek minder ongemakkelijk te maken”, zeker voor mensen die zich schamen dat ze ooit bijna zijn opgelicht. Ripple werkt in deze campagne samen met grote partijen zoals Match Group, Cash App, Coinbase en de National Cryptocurrency Association. Dat samenwerking laat zien hoe groot het probleem is geworden, en hoe noodzakelijk een gecoördineerde aanpak is. This Christmas, stay vigilant! Check out https://t.co/FxEyQnzgaB for more info on how to protect yourself and your loved ones from online scams.

Dat komt doordat veel XRP gebruikers actief zijn op platforms waar nep livestreams, gekopieerde websites en “fake giveaway” accounts snel worden verspreid. Ripple’s eigen security teams verwijderen jaarlijks tienduizenden valse pagina’s en nepaccounts die zich voordoen als: officiële Ripple kanalen, Brad Garlinghouse zelf, XRP event livestreams, of wallets met valse airdrops of beloftes van rendement. Tijdens de feestdagen stijgt dat aantal hard. Mensen klikken sneller, denken minder na, en geven gemakkelijker toegang tot hun wallet of persoonlijke gegevens. Garlinghouse geeft aan dat oplichters gaan uit van stilte en schaamte. Veel slachtoffers durven niets te zeggen, waardoor dezelfde scam bij anderen opnieuw kan toeslaan. Hoe XRP holders zich kunnen beschermen Kleine gewoontes maken het verschil. Garlinghouse heeft 4 belangrijke tips: Controleer altijd de URL voordat je ergens inlogt of je wallet verbindt Geloof nooit “te mooie beloftes” zoals gegarandeerde rendementen of automatische verdubbelingen Klik niet op links via onbekende accounts, zelfs als ze eruitzien alsof ze van Ripple komen Check nieuws en aankondigingen altijd via de officiële Ripple kanalen Hij spoort XRP holders ook aan om deze gewoontes ook binnen hun familie te bespreken, vooral met mensen die minder digitaal vaardig zijn of niet goed weten hoe crypto scams werken.

The user discovered abnormal authorization records in their wallet, attempted to revoke the authorization but was unable to do so, and provided the affected wallet address: 9w2e3kpt5XUQXLdGb51nRWZoh4JFs6FL7TdEYsvKq6Wb. Our on-chain analysis revealed that the user's account owner privileges had been transferred to the address GKJBELftW5Rjg24wP88NRaKGsEBtrPLgMiv3DhbJwbzQ. Furthermore, the user had over $3 million worth of assets stolen, and approximately $2 million worth of assets were held in a DeFi protocol but could not be transferred (this $2 million worth of assets has now been successfully recovered with the assistance of the relevant DeFi provider). (https://solscan.io/tx/524t8LW1PFWd4DLYDgvtKxCX6HmxLFy2Ho9YSGzuo9mX4iiGDhtBTejx7z7bK4C9RocL8hfeuKF1QaYMnK3itMVJ) The victim attempted to transfer funds from the account to their own address to verify authorization, but all transactions failed. This situation is highly similar to the "malicious multi-signature" attacks that frequently occur in the TRON ecosystem. In other words, this attack is not a traditional "authorization theft," but rather the core permissions (Owner permissions) being replaced by the attacker, rendering the victim powerless to transfer funds, revoke authorization, or manipulate DeFi assets. The funds are "visible," but no longer under their control. Solana Owner Modification Mechanism Attackers successfully tricked users into clicking using two counterintuitive scenarios: 1. Normally, when signing a transaction, the wallet simulates the execution result of the transaction. If there is a change in funds, it will be displayed on the interactive interface. However, a carefully crafted transaction by an attacker will not show any change in funds. 2. Traditional Ethereum EOA accounts are owned by private keys, and users are unaware that Solana has the capability to modify account ownership. Let's analyze what exactly the Solana Owner modification is. Account ownership When creating an account in a wallet, the Owner is typically the system account (11111111111111111111111111111111). During transactions, the system verifies that the transaction signature was signed with the corresponding public key. You can view basic account information using the Solana Account command. Another type of account is called a PDA account, which is derived from a smart contract and is mainly used to store smart contract data. Its owner is the smart contract from which it is derived. For example, an account used to store token issuance and holding information is a PDA account. When viewing the basic information of an account using Solana Account, you can see that its owner is the token smart contract TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA. Both types of accounts can change the Owner, but they have different rules and restrictions: Regular account The Owner cannot be directly modified externally via commands or scripts, but it can be modified through smart contract calls. The key instructions are as follows: The assign command changes the account's Owner from its current value to new_owner. After deployment, this command is invoked using the Solana CLI or a client (such as Solana Web3.js). This phishing attack exploited this feature to trick victims into signing transactions containing the assign command, thus silently transferring the Owner from the victim's wallet address. PDA account In short, the PDA account can modify the Owner, but the account's data must be empty. This is done using the assign command. We conducted simple tests on the feedback from modifying the Owner in several scenarios: 1. Newly created PDA accounts can specify any Owner. If the Owner is not the Program that created it, then the Program has no write permissions. 2. When attempting to modify the Owner of a newly created PDA account, the following error occurs: "instruction illegally modified the program id of an account". 3. Before the PDA account is finally assigned data, an attempt is made to write data: instruction modified data of an account it does not own. Once the owner of an account is changed, the user loses control of the account, and attackers can transfer account assets through CPI calls. Another common type of ownership change is the ownership of a token account. Essentially, this is ownership controlled by the logic within a smart contract, not by the underlying logic of Solana. However, it is also frequently used in phishing attacks, and users should be wary of this type of phishing attack. MistTrack Analysis According to the analysis of the victim's address 9w2e3kpt5XUQXLdGb51nRWZoh4JFs6FL7TdEYsvKq6Wb by the on-chain tracing and anti-money laundering tool MistTrack, the fund transfer path in this attack was complex. The attackers mainly diverted assets through two core addresses: BaBcXDg… (flow to 1) and 7pSj1R… (flow to 2). Flow direction 1: BaBcXDgbPgn85XtEQK7TZV8kZuFpT4iWVAs4QJoyNSmd The first main path involved assets worth approximately $2.38 million, characterized by "multi-level diffusion + decentralized deposits through CEXs + multiple address intermediaries." The attackers used this address to exchange various tokens (including PAYAI, CASH, CARD'S, JitoSOL, POLYFACTS, PUMP, PYUSD, and CAP) for SOL. Specifically, PUMP was transferred to 7E4eNkK… before being exchanged for SOL. The main destinations of the exchanged SOL are as follows: 1) 717.5 SOL was transferred to YDrMfsB…, some SOL was transferred to the Binance platform, and the remaining funds were dispersed and remained in about 4 transit addresses. 2) 7,556.89 SOL + 2,218 SOL (from PUMP exchange) were uniformly aggregated to 7E4eNkK…, then some SOL were transferred to the Letsexchange platform, 5,050.93 SOL were transferred to FyB2jDJbTdmW…, and the remaining funds were dispersed and remained in about 13 transit addresses. 3) 2,161.88 SOL + the aforementioned 5,050.93 SOL were further dispersed in FyB2jD… and transferred to multiple platforms (HTX, Binance, Kucoin, ChangeNOW, Changelly), with some flowing into an unknown address (25nULbv…). The remaining funds were dispersed and remained in approximately 25 transit addresses. 4) 2,053 SOL were transferred to 6qdtH5D…, some SOL were transferred to the Letsexchange platform, and the remaining funds were dispersed and remained in about 15 transit addresses. 5) 20 SOL is transferred to 5rJdvkp…, then transferred and remains at address 2etvjZH…. 6) 2,142 SOL were transferred to 2xFzAda…, 352 SOL were transferred to the Binance platform, 200 SOL were transferred to the Letsexchange platform, and the remaining funds were dispersed and remained in approximately 11 transit addresses. Flow direction 2: 7pSj1RxHf77G3XeisvnNAtbyx5AFjYPcChswWhZe9bM8 The second main path involves assets worth approximately $790,000, with the core characteristic being "cross-chain and multi-chain circular exchange." The attackers also exchanged various received tokens for SOL, with JitoSOL, PUMP, and POLYFACTS accounting for a relatively high proportion. The main destinations of the exchanged SOL are as follows: 5,742 SOL were transferred to FiywJZ2Z…, which also received 2,772.8 SOL from another phishing event address marked “Phishing” by MistTrack. The attackers used Relay.link to exchange 8,579.92 SOL for ETH and cross-chain to the Arbitrum address 0xDCFa6f…, then used 1inch to exchange the funds for SOL and cross-chain to multiple Solana addresses. They then used 1inch repeatedly for cross-chain operations, which will not be elaborated on here. FiywJZ2Z… transferred the remaining 215.89 SOL to Ah5Rs916…, which was then exchanged for 29,875 USDC. The USDC was then exchanged for DAI via Relay.link in increments of 5000, 5000, 5000, 5000, and 19,875.38, and transferred across chains to Base and Ethereum address 0xd2c1c2A…. Two of the 5000 USDC transactions were returned, and the DAI has not yet been transferred out. DeFi Asset Rescue Furthermore, with the assistance of multiple parties, the victim's remaining assets in DeFi were successfully withdrawn and transferred through the address fgR5PJF…, including approximately 2.17 million PYUSD and 4,548 USDC. This money flow clearly reveals the attacker's behavioral pattern: rapid dispersion, multiple address jumps, multi-platform mixing, cross-chain circulation, and simultaneous CEX deposits and DeFi asset reuse, constructing a multi-level, cross-ecosystem money laundering network that greatly increases the difficulty of tracking. MistTrack has already marked all related addresses. How can we prevent similar attacks? For ordinary users, this type of attack is essentially a "phishing attack." Attackers will disguise links in various ways, such as airdrops, rewards, tasks, early test qualifications, or even pretend to be official announcements, making people think it's just a simple operation. In reality, the pop-up signature hides high-risk permissions such as modifying the owner. Once signed, the wallet is basically taken over. Therefore, the most important prevention method is to think carefully before clicking on links and "signatures": Is the source trustworthy? Is this page official? What does this signature actually do? If the content that pops up in the wallet is completely incomprehensible, or if it suddenly contains strange permissions, unfamiliar addresses, or inexplicable requests for authorization, then you must stop immediately and never force yourself to click confirm. Avoid using wallets containing large amounts of assets for everyday interactions. For tasks, projects, and airdrops, prepare a separate account with a low balance specifically for interaction. Keep your truly important assets in a separate wallet or even a cold wallet. This way, even if you accidentally sign in, you can minimize losses. Additionally, avoid granting unlimited permissions; limit the scope and amount of permissions whenever possible to reduce the space for attackers to abuse the service. In short, take an extra look, double-check, avoid clicking or signing randomly, and create layers of protection for yourself; store large assets separately, using a secondary account for interaction and the primary account only for safekeeping; stop immediately if you encounter any anomalies, and don't take chances. By doing these things, the risk of being attacked by this type of phishing attack can be significantly reduced. Finally, I highly recommend reading "The Blockchain Dark Forest Self-Help Handbook" (https://darkhandbook.io/).

Solana Mobile to Launch SKR Token in January 2026

        Highlights:  Solana Mobile will launch the SKR token in January 2026 with the Seeker phone. Guardians will verify devices, monitor apps, and enforce rules for ecosystem trust. Solana’s price rose 1% as investors reacted positively to the SKR announcement.  On Wednesday, Solana Mobile, part of Solana Labs, said on X that it will launch the SKR token in January 2026. SKR will be the main token for the latest mobile phone model, Seeker phone, giving users, developers, and partners shared control.  SKR Token Launch Strengthens Mobile Ecosystem and User Participation Alongside the SKR announcement, Solana Mobile introduced a new group called guardians, responsible for “validating trust” across the phone system. The firm stated: “At launch, SKR serves as a growth and coordination mechanism: stake to Guardians, support builders, secure devices, curate the DApp Store.” The company emphasized: “As the ecosystem scales, SKR ensures its value flows back to the community that powers it.”  Guardians will help verify devices, monitor app submissions, and enforce community standards, creating a trusted environment. SKR holders can earn rewards by staking with guardians. Solana Mobile will be the first guardian, with additional participants joining in 2026, including Helius Labs, Double Zero, and Triton One. Early staking incentives are designed to encourage wider adoption and network participation. SKR will have a total supply of 10 billion units. Airdrops will receive 30% of the supply, giving a large share to early users. Growth and partner needs will take another 25%.  SKR Tokenomics The total SKR supply is 10 billion SKR. SKR distribution:– 30% Airdrops– 25% Growth + Partnerships– 10% Liquidity + Launch– 10% Community Treasury– 15% Solana Mobile – 10% Solana Labs pic.twitter.com/pluKRzTDVZ — Seeker | Solana Mobile (@solanamobile) December 3, 2025  Supply plans also include 10% for liquidity needs. A community pool will gain 10%. Solana Mobile will hold 15% for future work. Solana Labs will keep 10%, creating a full supply map for public view. Every section of the supply shows a targeted path forward.  Solana Mobile first spoke about SKR in May. The company said Seeker owners would gain “actual ownership in the platform.” The plan also includes “linear inflation to incentivize early participants” once staking begins. More details will be presented at Solana Breakpoint from Dec. 11 to 13. Seeker Phone Launch Drives Investor Interest and Price Boost Since launching the Seeker phone on August 4, Solana Mobile’s hardware efforts have gained strong momentum. The device shipped over 150,000 pre-orders globally and came with an upgraded dApp Store, built-in key storage, and decentralized hardware verification via TEEPIN.  Seekers officially start shipping today! Thank you for your support and belief in Solana Mobile since day one. We’re sending tens of thousands of devices to 50+ countries around the world, so sit tight as your order makes its way through over the coming weeks. pic.twitter.com/dQtkWi26JB — Seeker | Solana Mobile (@solanamobile) August 4, 2025  The Seeker phone came with a DApp store offering more than 100 Solana-linked applications. The company hoped to present a larger purpose for the device, after many early users had viewed Saga mainly as a “rewards magnet.”  The new lineup aimed to create stronger daily use for the phone. Some early users faced a few issues after launch. Even so, the company confirmed that SKR will help strengthen the app store and the mobile environment that surrounds Seeker. A wider support structure is now a central target for the team Following the announcement, Solana’s price reacted positively. It traded around $140 before the news and rose to $144.08, marking a 1.4% increase within 24 hours. Investor attention reflects anticipation for the SKR token and its role in the mobile ecosystem.    eToro Platform    Best Crypto Exchange   Over 90 top cryptos to trade Regulated by top-tier entities User-friendly trading app 30+ million users    9.9   Visit eToro eToro is a multi-asset investment platform.
