Picture this: drop $600 on a Solana mobile phone. Then wait. And wait some more. Over a month crawls by before it finally shows up at your door.

Then what? Three years later, you get hit with a $130 $SKR airdrop notification. By then, you've basically forgotten you even owned the device.

This is what some early Solana ecosystem adopters actually experienced. The gap between product purchase and token rewards tells you something about the timeline mismatches in crypto projects. Sometimes the ecosystem moves on before the incentives even land.
