Hello SALT Community,
 
We’d like to take a moment to respond to questions regarding the earliest Members to join our platform.
 
All SALT Membership discounts are intended to foster network adoption and to create an environment for direct feedback as we improve the SALT Lending Platform experience. The earliest Membership discounts were sold to individuals who either directly approached us or engaged with us in some capacity to help us continue to build out the product. This has also served as an excellent means to build our brand, create a loyal borrower base, and solidify lender commitments. At no time were any Memberships given away for free to anyone, including founders and management.
 
Approximately 35 million SALT Memberships were sold at $0.25 and 5 million SALT Memberships were sold at $0.75.
 
SALT’s growth has been a direct result of a discounted product strategy, and we will continue to strive to provide our Members the best possible products at the lowest possible price. We sincerely hope that this update has added value to your understanding of the SALT project and provided insight into the decision making of the SALT leadership. 
 
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to reach out to us at Community.Director@SaltLending.com
 
Sincerely,
 
SALT Team


I expect a massive dump from the early holders when this hits the exchanges. Pretty scammy if you ask me that they offer a "discount" for "only" 3$ or more. I'm out.
