Solana Mobile taps Helius, Jito as first dApp Store 'Guardians'

Solana Mobile has introduced a decentralized review system that distributes app screening and security verification for its dApp Store to external independent operators. On Nov. 11, Solana Mobile announced it had selected Helius and Jito as the first independent 'Guardians' for the Solana dApp Store. All new apps and updates submitted to the store will now have to pass automated security screening and policy compliance checks by the two operators, with review voting results recorded on-chain for transparent public verification. To participate in the network, each Guardian must lock up 250,000 SKR tokens. Regular token holders can also take part in the verification system by staking their holdings to a preferred Guardian. Solana Mobile is also running a program to buy back and permanently burn SKR in the market using revenue from validators and Seed Vault Wallets, managing the token's circulating supply.
