Introduction: $MINT — The Core of the Mint Blockchain Ecosystem

$MINT is the first utility token of Mint Blockchain, adopting the SuperchainERC20 standard and interoperating with @Optimism as part of the Superchain. It is designed to provide a solid foundation for Mint Blockchain, driving the development and innovation of NFT assets.

Within the Mint Blockchain ecosystem, $MINT plays a crucial role in coordinating all value flows, supporting ecosystem and community growth, MintDAO, and initial incentive programs.

Mint Blockchain is dedicated to creating a decentralized network that serves the entire lifecycle of NFT assets — from issuance and trading to settlement and on-chain data indexing. The five core modules of Mint Blockchain form the foundation for ecosystem development and its future roadmap.

Over the past year, Mint has established a robust technical architecture and network infrastructure. Starting in 2025, Mint will begin developing the network application layer, driving the dynamic growth of its five core modules and leading the full-scale evolution of programmable NFT assets within the Mint Blockchain network.

$MINT is the only native token of the Mint Blockchain ecosystem and serves several key functions.

82% allocated to community builders, early supporters, and ecosystem developers:

18% allocated to the MintCore Team.

Initial Supply: 1 billion $MINTInitial Unlocked Supply: 16.8%

$MINT will play a crucial role in the future of NFT programmability and large-scale applications.

Token Unlock Schedule:

• MintCore: 18% (10% unlocked at TGE, with one-year cliff after TGE, fully unlocked over the course of 12 quarters.)

• Launch Contributors: 20% (10% unlocked at TGE, with 6-months cliff after TGE, fully unlocked over the course of 8 quarters.)

• Community Airdrop: 12% (83.3% unlocked at TGE, with an additional 16.7% used to incentivize Mint Forest V3 users, airdropped in 2026.)

• MintDAO Treasury: 50% (Unlocked periodically, with no fixed schedule.)

The full token unlock will continue over the next 36 months.

Mint Blockchain achieves decentralized distribution of network transaction sequencing rewards through the $MINT staking and restaking mechanism.

Following the $MINT Token Generation Event (TGE), users will be able to participate in $MINT staking through the MintPool protocol. MintPool is a decentralized staking protocol on the Mint Blockchain network that supports staking of $MINT, $ETH, and NFT assets.

When users stake $MINT, they receive sMINT tokens as staking certificates (representing staked MINT tokens).Holding sMINT provides an annual percentage yield (APY) of 15%, distributed as $MINT mining rewards, funded by MintDAO.

Once users acquire sMINT, they can synthesize it into a BC721 Mint-eNFT asset. The required sMINT amount is determined by a bonding curve, adding strategic depth and excitement.Holders of BC721 Mint-eNFTs will receive 50% of Mint Blockchain sequencer revenue (after deducting DA fees and Superchain profit-sharing) as mining rewards. This process represents the restaking operation of $MINT tokens.

The $MINT staking and restaking mechanism ensures predictable returns for the Mint community.Every user can start earning daily staking and restaking rewards ($MINT & $ETH). The restaking mechanism leverages our innovative bonding curve and integrates Mint-eNFT assets.

Through this mechanism, users can earn a stable 15% APY and gain the right to share in the revenue of the entire network.

Mint will provide rewards to real users, including:

As Mint’s development roadmap unfolds, more incentive measures will be introduced, and the future of NFT applications will become more refined and continuously evolving.

The official launch of $MINT is imminent, and we are excited about the arrival of the new era for the Mint Blockchain network.
