# Salmon Wallet
|
|
|
|
Open-source, self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet built primarily on Solana with Bitcoin support. Active since 2022, listed on Solana wallet adapter. Attempted futarchy-governed fundraise via Futardio in March 2026, raising $97,535 against $375,000 target before refunding. Operates own Solana validator for transparent revenue. Positions as community-governed alternative to corporate wallets with SAL token enabling futarchy-based collective decision-making.
