The Salt Pound Project

The medium of exchange with a human sense.

What we do

Our project strives to build, advocate for, and maintain the Salt Pound, a framework for making payments and storing wealth, designed to empower individuals in vulnerable communities and foster sustainable economic growth in developing countries.

Vision

The Salt Pound is used to transfer wealth from people who want to share it, to the people who need it. The system is designed to be fast, secure and transparent.

How it works

The Salt Pound is based on two independent components: The Exonum blockchain framework, and a physical good: natural salt.

Building blocks

The project fusions two existing ideas: Electronic currencies and local, community-powered currencies to create a full-blown, failsafe trust network.

Roadmap

Our General Assembly on January 5th 2018 approved to set up two pilot projects in 2018-2019: Las Coloradas, Yucatán, Mexico, and Zahle, Bekaa Valley, Lebanon.
