The Maximum Supply of Sallar tokens is 12 billion, of which 9.4 billion are initially in the smart contract, making the initial Total Supply 2.6 billion. For the first three years (November 2024 to November 2027), 800 million tokens are locked (600 million Sallar for the core team and 200 million Sallar in the Development Wallet), so the Circulating Supply is 1.8 billion tokens.

While 800 million tokens are locked, they will be utilized to mine tokens across 8 independent accounts, each holding 100 million tokens. These accounts may consist of smaller, linked accounts, but the 800 million will work to stabilize the network and support rewards. Through the staking/reward program, these 8 accounts will collectively mine rewards from the smart contract of 8 devices x 9,152 Sallar approximately every 4 hours, generating about 13 million Sallar monthly. 

These tokens will be allocated for the team as well as potential development activities. This does not mean that 13 million tokens will be sold monthly, but rather that they will be added to the Circulating Supply from the rewards pool in the smart contract. We consider this a transparent approach, as these rewards also contribute to the stability of the computing network, with at least 8 high-quality devices required to maintain it. Therefore, the 800 million tokens will remain untouched for the 3 years, and only the mined rewards from the Sallar app will be used.

Assuming 13 million monthly for the Sallar team (from mining of 800 million Sallar) and estimating an average of 1,000 app users holding between 2–5 million tokens each, this equates to approximately 18 million Sallar monthly, assuming they mine 24/7. It’s reasonable to expect the monthly supply from the smart contract not to exceed 40 million Sallar, totaling about 480 million Sallar annually. 

At this rate, mining the entire supply would take around 20 years. However, as the token’s value increases, it will become harder to accumulate large token amounts, and we assume that all 1,000 users will not run the app continuously 24/7. Therefore, we estimate the reward distribution may be lower than stated here.

The Sallar Ecosystem is built to empower decentralized computing and provide real utility through three core components:

  1. Sallar App

    • A platform where users can connect their devices to the Sallar Network and share their computational power in exchange for Sallar tokens ($ALL).
    • Thousands of devices are already contributing to the network, creating a decentralized computing powerhouse.

  2. Sallar Marketplace

    • A community-driven platform to buy and sell services, products, and computing power using Sallar tokens.
    • Offers include computing power packages, electronics, and even opportunities for users to list their own services and products.
    • The Marketplace supports businesses and individuals alike, creating a decentralized economy.

  3. AI Agents

    • Intelligent solutions powered by the computational resources of the Sallar Network.
    • These AI Agents will assist with various tasks, such as diagnostics, planning, and more.
    • Available exclusively through the Sallar Ecosystem, providing both free access and premium services via $ALL tokens.

The Sallar Ecosystem is designed to bridge decentralized computing with practical, real-world applications, making it accessible to everyone while fostering community engagement and innovation.

The staking/reward system operates by rewarding users who share their computing power with the Sallar Network while holding tokens in their subwallet within the Sallar App. The goal of this program is to increase network stability, as we assume that holding tokens and the associated reward increase will encourage users to keep their devices connected to the Sallar Network. 

The staking/reward program begins at a threshold of 125,000 Sallar held in the Sallar App. In this case, instead of the standard reward of, for example, 2 Sallar, the user receives, for examples, 85 Sallar for holding 1 million Sallar in the app. The reward grows exponentially, reaching a maximum at 100 million Sallar, with a reward of 9,194 Sallar for holding 100 million tokens. The reward applies to only one device per account, so if an account has two devices, one will mine with the boost, while the other will earn the standard reward of, for example, 2 Sallar.

See the reward table: Link

Yes, we may reduce the reward if the price rises, for the security of the project and to avoid increasing supply. However, any change in the reward will be communicated to our community in advance and opened for discussion, as the reward level affects token holders.

The current estimated computational power of the entire network has reached impressive levels. According to measurements by our partner, Rhino Miner, the network achieves about 16 MH under the “RandomX” algorithm. Smartphones constitute approximately 30% of the mining devices and contribute a few percent to the network’s overall power. Their role in the project is crucial for effective onboarding—users often start mining with smartphones and then connect more powerful devices, significantly boosting the potential of the Sallar network.

 The main advantage of smartphones is their accessibility—once users discover Sallar, they can immediately begin mining by using a smartphone and accessing our web app or the soon-to-be-released mobile application. Over time, they can transition to more efficient mining methods. We also plan to use smartphones as low-cost multimedia processing farms, which are much cheaper compared to rival solutions. Furthermore, smartphones could serve as a Content Delivery Network (CDN). In the near future, we intend to introduce a leaderboard that will enable visitors to monitor the network’s resources. 

This feature will provide greater insight into the network’s scale and efficiency, including the number of devices and performance metrics such as the number of processed hashes per second. 

The performance of the Sallar network largely depends on optimizing the applications running on it. We use browsers as virtual machines to maintain flexibility, which requires carefully designing tasks to minimize latency and synchronization problems. To reduce network latency, tasks are broken down into smaller fragments, cutting the time needed for synchronization among devices.

To ensure stability, we employ redundancy mechanisms—for example, a leader system that maintains continuous operation by designating backups if a device fails. If a device becomes unstable, our system assigns a substitute that meets the task’s specified requirements. Energy efficiency is calculated by network providers but can be improved by using ARM processors optimized for low power consumption. For GPUs, choosing models with a favorable power-to-performance ratio enhances energy efficiency.

Additionally, Sallar offers a staking system that balances rewards by increasing them proportionally to the number of tokens held. Tasks are assigned to devices capable of running at maximum efficiency, while others remain in standby mode (performing minimal proof-of-work tasks) to save resources. 

Sallar does not rely on a single, fixed algorithm or a single type of task—it functions as a cloud-like platform where various types of applications can be run, for which users receive tokens. Consequently, using ASICs in the Sallar network is not recommended.

Smartphones use ARM processors optimized for low power consumption. Currently, all devices that meet the minimum hardware requirements mine at the same rate, regardless of their computational power. This approach will evolve once the network reaches a base of around 10,000 token holders. At that point, a qualitative factor will be introduced, allowing more powerful devices to mine more efficiently. 

Properly designed tasks can be effectively carried out on our platform. For instance, federated learning—where AI tasks are divided into smaller blocks—could make our network attractive for certain AI applications

and beyond. In the case of high-performance devices, such as powerful GPUs, it may not even be necessary to split tasks into smaller parts. The suitability depends on the application and its specific requirements. 

Sallar not only integrates powerful GPUs into the network but also invests in its own GPU-based farm, contributing to the project’s revenue. In the near future, the Sallar network will support TPU (Tensor Processing Unit), further enhancing the efficiency of AI-related tasks. 

We are currently focusing on developing the mobile application, creating a marketplace, and acquiring clients. Documentation of mining results and how they are used will be included in the leaderboard mentioned in point 1. This feature will allow users to track specific network metrics in the future. 

At present, all devices meeting the minimum hardware requirements mine at the same rate, regardless of computational power. This solution is meant to build the initial network base and will change once we reach around 10,000 token holders. At that time, a qualitative factor will be introduced to allow more powerful devices to mine more efficiently. This stage will also involve restructuring the network to maximize its capabilities.

Sallar is designed for web applications that operate on the client side, so it supports ARM and various processor architectures. If you want to create an AI-related application on Sallar, you can leverage libraries like onnxruntime and TensorFlow. We’re continually updating and expanding use cases on our website.

You can explore all offers for computing power from the Sallar Network on the Sallar Marketplace. Visit https://marketplace.sallar.io to browse and purchase packages tailored to your needs.

We are currently engaged in numerous conversations, including with prospective clients. However, we’re focused on handling formalities related to our launch, such as establishing services, adding Sallar to various databases, and addressing counterfeit tokens, which number in the dozens. These administrative tasks will be cleared soon, after which we’ll be able to move forward at a faster pace.

Yes, the Sallar smart contract underwent a comprehensive audit by Hacken, a reputable cybersecurity firm, on August 23, 2023. The audit confirmed a maximum supply of 12 billion tokens and detailed the token release mechanism for rewards. The contract received a security score of 9.1 out of 10, reflecting our commitment to security and transparency within the Sallar Network.

Yes, it will be. Our network consists mostly of high-performance devices, with a smaller portion made up of mobile devices. The power of one A100 in AI model training is approximately equivalent to three RTX 4090s, and after about two weeks from launch, our network’s potential is comparable to 6×3 RTX 4090s. A leaderboard displaying the network’s power will be released in the coming months. Currently, our focus is on miner security, and a major update will be released shortly.

Smartphones can be used for tasks like fine-tuning AI, where a large number of low-power devices can be effective. Fine-tuning improves specific aspects of an AI model – for example, enhancing a speech recognition model to better understand regional accents. This detailing work refines an AI model’s performance. Additionally, higher-performance mobile devices provide computational power, enabling users of models like Llama to run them even on lower-end laptops and smartphones, as Sallar Network can offload computations to more capable smartphones.

A significant part of our narrative is centered around smartphones. Unlike projects like Golem or Render, our story is about collecting resources often overlooked by others. We onboard small power providers using smartphones, which we see as a gateway to acquiring larger resources. This approach has quickly grown a community of hundreds of contributors supplying power to our shared network.

In Sallar Network, smartphones serve as an entry point, allowing anyone to participate as a provider and earn rewards, even if symbolic. This inclusivity shifts the perception of our project, making it accessible to all. Many participants begin with smartphones but later engage more powerful computing resources.

While most of our network consists of higher-performance devices, we plan to introduce units like A100s and H100s in the future. However, our priority is to provide affordable, stable computational power. Unlike AWS or Azure, our model emphasizes cost-effectiveness, especially for AI startups. We’re making a difference by reducing AI project costs.

Our strategy limits processor usage to 40%, and with our dedicated mobile app, this will eventually reduce to about 25%. This approach minimizes battery drain. The mobile app will optimize processor load, drawing more power only when actively performing tasks and switching to minimal power consumption during idle periods. This is part of our ongoing effort to minimize battery degradation.

Our dedicated mobile app will also allow for more efficient resource usage on smartphones than the web version, enhancing device performance while reducing load. Currently, we are launching through a web app, which requires minimal setup with no installation necessary, while the Android/iOS mobile version is in production.

Our primary goal is to build liquidity on DEX (decentralized exchanges). We believe that a stable project provides the ability for users to easily enter and exit, whether holding small or large token amounts. In the future, we aim to list on CEX (centralized exchanges) but exclusively on Tier 1 exchanges (top 5 exchanges according to CoinMarketCap). 

Following the Pareto principle, we know that 80% of trading volume is generated on 20% of exchanges, so we do not intend to list on exchanges outside the top 5 per CMC. Maintaining liquidity on CEX exchanges is always risky for a project because the longevity of any given exchange is uncertain. Therefore, our priority remains with DEX exchanges.

No, we aim to increase liquidity but do not intend to lock it. Sallar is a business project run by an organization registered in Estonia – Astral Holding OU. Our team is listed on the website, and information about them is publicly available. 

Our team includes specialists from the fields of cryptocurrency, business, and management, including individuals with academic titles. In our view, locking liquidity creates an illusion of security. 

Core Team Members: Link

In dishonest projects, it’s still possible to collapse the project even with locked liquidity, for instance, by selling team tokens and driving the price close to zero. We see open liquidity as an opportunity; for example, during a bear market, we can split the existing pool into two pools – one paired with SOL/ALL and another with USDC/ALL. This way, if Solana’s price drops, the USDC/ALL pool can help absorb the impact. During a bull market, we will hold all liquidity in the SOL/ALL pair.

Our network is primarily composed of higher-performance desktop devices (over 60%), which have the most potential, with a smaller portion consisting of mobile devices. However, our narrative focuses on mobile devices because they allow us to lower the entry barrier to the project and foster community building. Additionally, they are suitable not for training but for fine-tuning AI models. 

If we focused solely on desktop devices, it would be challenging to build the community as dynamically, as most miners start with a phone and then move to more powerful devices. We currently have several hundred users, and this base is growing. Despite our mobile-focused narrative, the majority of the network consists of higher-performance devices.
