Is this a mining pool?

No, Salad is not a mining pool. Instead, we’re using a third-party called Nanopool to handle our transactions. Nanopool helps us streamline the mining process and deliver tangible rewards to our users without them having to worry about pools, wallets, etc. In the future, we hope to create our own mining pool and increase user earnings, but we haven’t yet reached sufficient scale for that to be feasible.
