The core wallet should remain lightweight, reliable, and understandable
Selected modular integrations expand what users can do without permanent feature accumulation
Partners need a credible path from integration to activation, feedback, usage, and traction
Salmon’s wedge is turning selected integrations into measurable distribution
A2
Product Foundation
The wallet core focuses on asset control, signing clarity, safety, and reliable interaction
Salmon should avoid becoming a heavy financial super-app
Useful capabilities can be added as modular integrations / Powerups
Powerups should justify their place through real user value
Integrations can be improved, deprioritized, or removed without rebuilding the entire product
A3
Partner Wedge
Salmon prioritizes partners whose integrations give users a concrete reason to use the wallet
Initial target groups include Solana-native applications, NFT communities, self-custody/security tools, infra products, and aligned builders
Selection depends on strategic fit, user value, and adoption potential
The goal is not to collect integrations, but to prove repeatable user behavior
Strategic density matters more than generic wallet volume
A4
Integration Application Pipeline
Apply: partner submits use case, users, scope, permissions, maintenance plan, and distribution hypothesis
Qualify: Salmon evaluates strategic fit, user value, technical feasibility, and product coherence
Build: Salmon and partner define ownership, milestones, dependencies, and implementation path
Validate: Salmon reviews security, UX, compatibility, permissions, and operational impact
Launch & Measure: approved integrations go live and are measured through activation, usage, retention, and feedback
A5
Integration Evaluation Standards
Security: permissions, signing flows, dependencies, attack surface, and user risk
User value: clear problem solved for wallet users
UX coherence: fit with navigation, flows, and user comprehension
Technical compatibility: architecture, performance, and regression risk
Maintainability and adoption potential: ongoing support, partner commitment, usage potential, and return behavior
A6
Integration Support Levels
Experimental: limited or controlled release to validate feasibility, UX, and demand
Verified: production-ready integration reviewed for security, UX, compatibility, and maintenance
Featured: high-value integration with stronger visibility, onboarding, or coordinated partner activation
Approval and promotion are separate decisions
Technical inclusion does not automatically mean endorsement or prominent placement
A7
Curation Today and Governance Evolution
Today, Salmon is operated by the current team
The team owns integration curation and final production approval
The objective is accountable curation, not permissionless production
If the MetaDAO raise succeeds, the framework can evolve toward community-owned oversight
Governance can shape policies, mandates, priorities, budgets, and escalation without reviewing every pull request
A8
Product Status
Salmon launched in 2022
Salmon is live across browser extension, Android, iOS, and public repository
The team has completed launch, relaunch, and deep technical refactor
Salmon operates an active Solana validator
The next phase is reliability, modular integrations, distribution proof, and governance readiness
A9
One Reliable Experience
Users should be able to:
Create or import a wallet
Receive funds
Send transactions safely
Understand and approve signing requests
Use the integration that brought them to Salmon
Return because the product remains useful and reliable
A10
Raise Structure
Target Raise: $450,000 gross
Approximately $360,000 is intended for operating capital after liquidity provision
Monthly operating budget: approximately $30,000
The raise funds Salmon's next 12-month execution phase
This phase is designed to strengthen the wallet core, establish the Powerup model, and generate measurable evidence of adoption, retention, and ecosystem pull
If demand exceeds the target, Salmon may selectively accept additional capital where it materially strengthens execution or runway efficiency
A11
Monthly Operating Budget
Team & Product: 70%
Infrastructure, Security & SaaS: 10%
Powerups & Integrations: 7%
Community & Distribution: 7%
Legal, Accounting & Governance: 6%
Total monthly operating budget: $30,000
The allocation is indicative and may vary between categories based on operating needs while remaining within the approved monthly budget.

Roadmap Detail
Q4 2026 — Powerup Foundation & First Releases: implement the Powerup framework, move the first core Powerups through testing and staged release, and begin measuring usage
Q1 2027 — Core Powerup Expansion: progressively release additional priority Powerups and iterate based on usage, technical performance, and feedback
Q2 2027 — Usage & Integration Validation: improve recurring usage, onboard selected ecosystem integrations, and measure partner-driven activity and early economic signals
Q3 2027 — Distribution Evidence & Scale Decisions: evaluate Powerups, integrations, transaction activity, fees, validator contribution, and early revenue to determine what deserves deeper investment
Each phase moves from controlled product execution toward measurable product, distribution, and economic evidence.
A13
Measurement Framework
Wallet adoption: active wallets, new active wallets, activation, return usage, and retained cohorts
Powerup behavior: discovery, installations, first use, repeat use, removals, rotation between Powerups, and wallet retention by Powerup cohort
Integration performance: users arriving by integration, completed actions, repeat usage, partner feedback, maintenance status, and expansion requests
Ecosystem pull: partner referrals, contributor activity, demand for reusable integration tooling, and partner-driven adoption
Economic signals: transaction volume attributable to Powerups, fees generated, early revenue, and revenue per active wallet
Salmon evaluates product progress through behavior-based, ecosystem, and economic metrics together, reducing dependence on any single measure that may be amplified or suppressed by short-term market conditions.
A14
GTM and Distribution Logic
Salmon grows first through selected partner integrations
Partner communities and existing use cases provide initial distribution
Builders and contributors improve credibility and implementation capacity
Public code, visible progress, and integration metrics support trust
Salmon avoids broad paid acquisition before proving repeatable activation and retention
A15
Token and Governance Readiness
Proposed ownership coin: SALMON
No existing token or prior TGE is part of the proposed setup
No day-one airdrop or immediate team unlock is planned
Proposed team performance package: 5M SALMON
The package is subject to an 18-month cliff, 3-month TWAP, and performance brackets at 2x / 4x / 8x / 16x / 32x
