# Salmon Wallet

Open-source self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet primarily built on Solana with Bitcoin support. Active since 2022 with wallet adapter listing. Attempted futarchy-governed fundraise on MetaDAO platform in March 2026, representing first observed futarchy governance application to operational wallet infrastructure rather than pure capital allocation.

## Timeline
- **2022** — Project founded, listed on Solana wallet adapter
- **2022-2024** — Raised $122.5K through bootstrap funding ($80K) and grants (Serum $2.5K, Eclipse $40K)
- **2026-03-03** — [[salmon-wallet-futardio-fundraise]] launched on futard.io seeking $375K
- **2026-03-04** — Fundraise closed in refunding status after raising $97,535 (26% of target)
