Salmon Wallet

Integrations into distribution

Icon Salmon
02

Open Wallet Infrastructure

  • Lightweight by design. Powerups turn integrations into distribution.
  • Salmon starts lightweight and lets users activate only the capabilities they need
  • Powerups add functionality without permanently expanding the wallet core
  • Selected integrations create a measurable route from useful capability to activation and repeat usage

Wallets Should Expand Without Becoming Heavy

  • Users should not have to carry every feature a wallet may support
  • Permanent feature accumulation increases complexity, friction, and security surface
  • Salmon keeps the core focused while optional Powerups expand the experience

Powerups Create a Second Opportunity: Distribution

  • Strong Solana projects can still struggle to turn visibility into active users
  • Selected projects can reach users through useful Powerups inside the wallet
  • Salmon gains adoption while partners gain activation, feedback, and measurable usage

One Architecture Connects Both Sides

  • Users get a wallet that adapts to their needs without permanent feature accumulation
  • Partners gain a structured route to users through selected Powerups
  • Both sides reinforce the same loop: useful capability → activation → repeat usage → distribution proof

Salmon Opens and Curates a Clear Integration Path

  • Projects can apply through an open process with use case, technical scope, user value, and distribution hypothesis
  • Salmon qualifies integrations through standards: security, UX coherence, compatibility, maintainability, and adoption potential

Salmon Protects Product Quality Through Accountable Curation

  • Production integrations cannot be fully permissionless because wallet security and UX require judgment
  • Salmon separates technical inclusion from distribution priority through Experimental, Verified, and Featured stages
  • The goal is open entry, curated production, and measurable usage

Salmon Has Already Absorbed the Initial Build Risk

  • Salmon launched in 2022 and is live across browser extension, Android, iOS, and a public repository
  • The team has completed launch, relaunch, and a deep technical refactor; Salmon also operates an active Solana validator
  • Current adoption is still early — the raise funds the next test: whether Powerups and selected integrations can create repeatable usage

Powerups Create Multiple Paths to Sustainable Wallet Economics

  • Swaps, bridges, staking, ramps, and selected integrations can generate modular revenue streams
  • Salmon already has an economic contribution through its active Solana validator
  • Revenue is measured from day one, but the 12-month operating plan does not depend on a revenue forecast

Salmon Raises $450K for Its Next 12-Month Execution Phase

  • $450K gross provides approximately $360K of base DAO treasury after liquidity provision, supporting a ~$30K initial monthly allowance
  • Salmon’s Solana validator, approved in June 2026 and generating growing revenue, adds an existing revenue stream alongside the raise
  • Net validator revenue attributable to Salmon will flow to the DAO treasury, reducing net treasury depletion and potentially extending runway
  • Capital funds the path from Powerups → activation → repeat usage → distribution proof, while existing validator revenue strengthens treasury efficiency.
  • If demand exceeds the target, Salmon will evaluate additional capital selectively based on execution needs and runway efficiency.

Capital Makes the Powerup Model Operational

  • Build and progressively release the first practical Powerups
  • Create the partner qualification, launch, and measurement framework
  • Build the analytics needed to distinguish attention from activation and recurring usage

Salmon Measures Progress Through Usage, Not Announcements

  • Adoption & retention: active wallets, activation, return usage, and retained cohorts
  • Powerup & ecosystem behavior: installs, repeat usage, rotation, integrations, and partner-driven adoption
  • Economic signals: transaction activity, fees, and revenue measured from day one
  • Early performance is evaluated across product behavior, ecosystem pull, and economic activity — not through any single market-sensitive metric.

Salmon Aligns Product, Ownership, and Governance Around the Same Thesis

  • Salmon is community-driven today and built toward community ownership
  • If the MetaDAO raise succeeds, core assets and strategic oversight can align with DAO governance
  • If the model works, Salmon can become a credible open distribution layer for projects building the next wave of Solana
