Sallar

Sallar is a mobile DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) on Solana that pays users $ALL tokens in exchange for contributing idle CPU cycles from their smartphones to a shared compute network.

What Sallar Does

The premise is straightforward: smartphones sit idle for most of the day, their processors largely unused. Sallar captures that wasted capacity. Users install the iOS or Android app, connect a Solana-compatible wallet such as Phantom, and let the application run in the background. While the phone is otherwise idle, the Sallar app harvests spare CPU cycles and contributes them to a distributed workload pool covering tasks in AI inference, big data analysis, cryptography, and scientific computation. The network then pays users $ALL tokens weekly, proportional to their device uptime and hardware capability.

No specialized hardware is required. The app targets a battery impact below 5% per day. Earnings are held in an auto-generated Solana sub-wallet inside the app and can be withdrawn through a dedicated tab. A per-device reward cap of 20 $ALL tokens prevents any single node from exhausting network resources, creating more equitable distribution across participants.

Proof of Benchmark

Sallar uses a verification mechanism called Proof of Benchmark before distributing rewards. Rather than simply accepting uptime claims, the protocol audits actual compute contributions to confirm work was genuinely performed. Audited Solana smart contracts govern the reward calculation and distribution, removing the need for a centralized paymaster.

The combination of on-chain distribution and Proof of Benchmark is designed to prevent the Sybil attacks and spoofed contributions that have plagued other mobile mining schemes.

The $ALL Token

The $ALL token is native to Solana (contract: GKHgTd6tqvycgG3mqcZraSZDFR32hXhRgo6sZQtudMsC). Total maximum supply is capped at 12 billion tokens. Of that, 9.4 billion tokens — roughly 78% of the total supply — are reserved for mining and staking rewards, the primary emission pool for network participants.

The remaining allocation is split across founders and development (6.60%), marketing (1.66%), initial liquidity (4.16%), an initial offering (1.04%), and a circulation allocation (8.21%). Annual inflation is capped at 4%. A deflationary mechanism ties token burns to network activity, creating counterpressure against ongoing emissions as usage grows.

Rewards are distributed weekly, with amounts determined by uptime and the benchmarked performance of each participating device.

Team and Structure

Sallar was founded in 2022 and is operated by Astral Holding OU, registered in Estonia. The team is led by CEO Amadeus Ignis, COO Dr. Bartosz Misiurek, and blockchain lead Konrad Podstawski. The project has not raised external venture funding and markets this explicitly — positioning itself as community-driven with tokenomics that are not diluted by investor allocations.

Network Scale and Traction

The project reached 10,000 active phone miners in February 2026, its highest reported user milestone. Data from Syndica DePIN ecosystem reports tracked growth in the intermediate period: by April 2025 the network was distributing approximately $11,800 per month in $ALL rewards, representing a 27% month-over-month increase at that time. A July 2025 snapshot showed around 2,400 active contributors with rewards up roughly 28% period-over-period.

By the February 2026 milestone, Syndica placed Sallar within the long tail of Solana DePIN protocols — grouped with several peers collectively distributing under $2 million in combined rewards — an honest indicator of where it sits relative to larger DePIN networks such as Render or io.net.

GitHub activity under the Sallar-Labs organization is limited to a single public Rust repository with modest star and fork counts, and the most recent recorded commit dates to November 2024.

Ecosystem Integrations

Sallar has integrated with Nosana, a Solana-native GPU compute marketplace. The Nosana partnership extends Sallar network capacity beyond smartphone CPUs into GPU workloads, with Nosana having spotlighted Sallar as one of its partner protocols scaling the Nosana GPU Marketplace. This is the most prominent third-party validation the project has received from within the Solana ecosystem.

Roadmap

Sallar roadmap items beyond the current mining app include two additions. The Sallar Marketplace is a planned community platform for exchanging services, products, and computing power between participants. The Sallar+ AI Agents feature set would offer intelligent automation tools — a free tier and a premium tier — built on top of the network aggregate compute resources. Both remain in development as of mid-2026, with AI Agents originally targeted for Q2 2026.

Summary Assessment

Sallar occupies a coherent niche: turning idle smartphone compute into a tokenized commodity with no upfront hardware cost to participants. The 10,000-miner milestone confirms the concept attracts real users. The no-VC positioning differentiates its token structure from many competing projects. Practical constraints include modest development velocity, limited major-media coverage, and the inherent challenges of monetizing smartphone compute at meaningful scale. The Nosana GPU integration is the clearest signal that the team is working to expand beyond the smartphone-only compute ceiling.
