January 20 — Solana Mobile will officially open claims for its SKR token airdrop at 10 AM UTC+8 on January 21. Per community notes, phone-based airdrop recipients get a minimum 5,000 SKR for zero interaction, 10,000 SKR for one interaction, or higher tiers (up to 750,000 SKR) for frequent engagement with the built-in DApp. The five tiers are: 5k, 10k, 40k, 125k, and 750k SKR.

After the Trove ICO, its token and Perp DEX were deployed on Solana instead of Hyperliquid, sparking strong community backlash

On January 19th, Perp DEX Trove announced last week that after raising $11.5 million via an ICO, it will shift its TROVE token and perpetual contract DEX platform from Hyperliquid to Solana—backtracking on its earlier plan shared with participants. Trove noted a liquidity partner that had backed its Hyperliquid deployment opted to liquidate a 500,000 HYPE position; the move was the partner’s independent call but altered the project’s constraints. As a result, Trove will no longer build on Hyperliquid’s infrastructure, instead rebuilding its perpetual contract trading platform from the ground up on Solana. The new platform will cover multiple asset classes, including real-world assets (RWAs) and prediction markets. The sudden shift has sparked strong dissatisfaction in the community, particularly among ICO backers who’d expected the project to launch on Hyperliquid and stay tied to the HYPE ecosystem.

Solana Mobile: Removed part of Seeker's rogue cluster from SKR airdrop distribution and returned to future airdrop pool

January 18: Emmett, Solana Mobile’s project lead, noted in an X post: “In addition to existing anti-bot measures, the team is actively identifying additional Seeker account clusters. These accounts will be excluded from the initial SKR airdrop distribution and moved to a future airdrop pool. We do not plan to publicly disclose our specific detection methods, but rest assured we have been monitoring this closely for some time. “We want SKR to launch fairly and end up in the hands of users and developers who actually advance the platform. This benefits the vast majority of buyers who purchased Seeker for practical use.”

Toly: Solana must continuously iterate and update, staying practical to survive

On Jan. 18, Solana co-founder Toly pushed back sharply against Ethereum co-founder Vitalik’s proposal that “Ethereum itself must pass the escape test.” Toly emphasized Solana’s need for continuous iteration and warned the network would perish if it stopped adapting to developers’ and users’ needs—stressing it must never rely on any single team or individual. He added Solana must deliver significant real-world utility, with large numbers of builders on the network earning meaningful income from transaction value there. This, he noted, is the only way to secure more LLM token credit for upstream improvements to Solana’s general-purpose protocol. For survival, he said, Solana must always prioritize practicality. While protocol changes should first solve developers’ or users’ problems, that does not mean addressing every issue—saying “no” to most requests is necessary.
