The VETS & Salutes Economy
Salutes are the utility reward inside PatriotChat. Earn them by serving the community, tip people who help you, and power veteran-first impact through the VETS ecosystem.
Salutes are a recognition and utility system, not an investment product. Wallet sync is optional, payouts are batched, and fraudulent activity can void awards.
