Solana Seeker users are being warned about a malicious app called “SKR Claim” that asks people to enter their seed phrases. Handing over a seed phrase gives attackers full control of a crypto wallet, meaning every token inside can be stolen instantly.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A malicious app named “SKR Claim” is circulating and targeting Solana Seeker users.
- The app asks users to enter their seed phrase, which is the master key to their wallet.
- Never enter your seed phrase into any claim app, website, or form you did not initiate through official channels.
Solana Seeker Warning Flags the “SKR Claim” App
Solana Seeker, a mobile device tied to the Solana blockchain ecosystem, issued a warning about an app presenting itself as a legitimate SKR token claim tool. The app asks users to enter their seed phrase, also called a recovery phrase, to “claim” tokens. For related coverage, see Binance Hack Reports Claim $6.3B Breach: What We Know.
This is a textbook phishing technique. Legitimate airdrop or token claim processes never require a seed phrase. Any app or website that asks for one is attempting to steal the wallet it is supposedly helping. Context on this theme: Cyber Revolution Summit – Singapore 2026.
This type of attack is not isolated to Solana. Bad actors frequently exploit excitement around new devices, token launches, or airdrops to create convincing fake claim pages. Solana’s ecosystem has seen targeted wallet attacks before, and social engineering through fake claim apps is one of the most common vectors.

Why a Seed Phrase Request Is a Critical Red Flag
A seed phrase, usually 12 or 24 words, is the only credential needed to restore and control a crypto wallet on any device. It is the equivalent of a master password that cannot be changed.
Whoever holds the seed phrase controls the wallet, period. If you enter it into a malicious app, the attacker can import your wallet immediately and drain every asset inside. There is no reversal and no recovery once funds leave.
Legitimate token claims work differently. They connect to a wallet through a secure signing process, such as WalletConnect or a browser extension, and ask you to approve a transaction. They never need your seed phrase. This distinction is the simplest test for whether a claim site is real or a trap. Tools like legitimate Solana dApps ask only for a wallet connection, not recovery words.
What to Do If You Already Entered Your Seed Phrase
If you entered your seed phrase into the SKR Claim app or any similar site, treat your wallet as compromised. Time is critical.
Create a brand new wallet immediately using a trusted app such as Phantom or Backpack. Write down the new wallet’s seed phrase and store it offline, somewhere only you can access. Then transfer all remaining tokens and NFTs from the compromised wallet to the new one as fast as possible.
Do not reuse or re-import the old wallet. Once a seed phrase is exposed, that wallet should be considered permanently unsafe, even after moving assets out. Contact Solana Seeker’s official support channels for further guidance specific to the device and any associated accounts.
How to Verify a Legitimate Claim
Before interacting with any airdrop or token claim, check the official Solana Seeker social media accounts and website directly. Do not follow links sent through Discord DMs, Telegram messages, or unofficial community posts.
Bookmark official pages yourself rather than searching for them. Scammers buy search ads and create sites with near-identical domain names. A URL that looks almost right, such as “solana-seeker-claim.io” instead of an official domain, is a warning sign.
If something offers free tokens and asks for your seed phrase to release them, that is not a claim, it is a theft. Legitimate projects have no technical need for that information. Report any suspicious SKR Claim links to Solana Seeker’s official channels so the team can warn other users quickly.
