Salmon Wallet

Open Wallet Infrastructure

Open Ecosystems Still Depend on Closed Wallet Infrastructure

  • One of crypto's most important access layers remains under private control
  • Open ecosystems still rely on private companies for a critical interface
  • That creates structural dependence at the point of user access
  • Salmon builds the open alternative

Wallets Control Distribution Across Crypto

  • Wallets do more than hold assets and sign transactions
  • They shape discovery, integrations, defaults, and ecosystem access
  • They influence which apps, networks, and flows users encounter first
  • Whoever controls the wallet layer influences distribution

Self-Custody Does Not Eliminate Wallet-Layer Control

  • Users may control keys while companies still control the interface layer
  • Closed wallets still shape roadmap decisions and monetization logic
  • That leaves a strategic access layer under private governance
  • Self-custody alone does not solve wallet-layer misalignment

Salmon Builds the Open Wallet Layer

  • Salmon is open-source, self-custodial, and community-owned
  • It is designed to keep the wallet layer transparent, neutral, and verifiable
  • It is built as infrastructure aligned with the ecosystem
  • Its ownership-coin model extends that alignment into governance and capital allocation

Salmon Focuses on High-Alignment Users Who Shape Ecosystems

  • Salmon is not targeting the broadest wallet market first
  • It is built for crypto natives, builders, integrators, contributors, and aligned communities
  • These users influence trust, integrations, adoption quality, and ecosystem leverage
  • Strategic density matters more than raw user count

Salmon Has Moved Beyond Initial Build Risk

  • Salmon launched in 2023 and already operates across its browser extension, web wallet, Android app, and public repository
  • Salmon also operates an active Solana validator with real ecosystem alignment
  • The project has completed a structural relaunch and deep refactor
  • This raise funds scale readiness around an existing product

Salmon Structures the Raise Around a Minimum Executable Plan

  • $300,000 funds the minimum executable 12-month plan
  • $450,000 extends runway to approximately 18 months
  • Operating burn remains anchored at approximately $25,000 per month
  • The raise scales execution confidence, not operating ambition

Salmon Allocates Capital to the Functions That Determine Launch Success

  • $18,300/month funds lean execution across product, engineering, operations, and governance
  • $4,200/month funds infrastructure reliability and operational resilience
  • $2,000/month funds integrations, ecosystem partnerships, and aligned acquisition
  • $500/month preserves legal/admin readiness, reporting discipline, and contingency room

Salmon Executes a 12-Month Roadmap With Measurable Milestones

  • Q3 2026 improves scale readiness through release cadence and core UX reliability
  • Q4 2026 expands ecosystem distribution through iOS TestFlight and priority integrations
  • Q1 2027 deepens adoption quality through new product depth and retention work
  • Q2 2027 validates pull through stronger integrations, tooling, and evidence-based scale decisions

Salmon Acquires Aligned Users Through Integration-Led Distribution

  • Ecosystem integrations place Salmon inside existing workflows and products
  • Developer-first positioning makes Salmon useful before it tries to become broad
  • Contributor channels and technical transparency create trust-based distribution
  • Salmon deliberately avoids paid growth loops without retention

Salmon Sets Clean Launch Standards Before Asking the Community to Own It

  • SAL is framed as a proposed ownership coin, not a live token
  • No prior TGE, day-one airdrop, or immediate team unlock are part of the setup
  • Core assets must be alignable with DAO governance before launch
  • Material obligations must be disclosed up front to avoid hidden complexity

Salmon Extends the Opportunity Beyond a Wallet Product

  • Salmon is already past the stage of proving the product can exist
  • If execution validates pull, Salmon can evolve into ecosystem wallet infrastructure
  • That would allow Salmon to compound integrations, contributors, and distribution
  • This raise funds the first phase of a much larger infrastructure opportunity
