Solana Mobile Taps Helius, Jito as First dApp Store Guardians

Solana Mobile has appointed Helius and Jito as the first two independent "Guardian" operators for its dApp Store, according to Crypto Briefing. The move, dated November 11, 2026, ends Solana Mobile's sole handling of app review, with the two firms now sharing responsibility for vetting every new submission and update to the store.

Each Guardian operator must lock up 250,000 SKR tokens to take part, the outlet reported. Reviews are split into two categories of checks, one of which runs automatically, and Guardian decisions on app compliance are logged onchain so they can be checked by anyone, per Crypto Briefing's account.

The SKR token launched in January 2026 with a starting supply of about 10 billion tokens, Crypto Briefing said. Starting October 15, 2026, upwards of 1.1 million SKR tokens have been destroyed under an ongoing buy-and-burn program funded in part by validator revenue and the Seed Vault Wallet, the outlet reported. SKR holders are also being urged to stake toward Guardians as part of the system's design, according to the report.

Crypto Briefing noted that Solana Mobile had made related commitments in late 2025 without detailing their content. The outlet's own account leaves open whether the Guardian system will successfully grow past these two operators, what timeline governs any additional participants, and how the staking arrangement for SKR holders will actually operate.
