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.
- Token Name: MINT
- Token Symbol: $MINT
- Total Supply: 1 billion
Mint Blockchain Ecosystem Overview
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.
The Multiple Roles of $MINT
$MINT is the only native token of the Mint Blockchain ecosystem and serves several key functions.
- Governance: $MINT holders can vote on decisions related to the Mint Blockchain network.
- Ecosystem Incentives: $MINT rewards developers building on Mint Blockchain.
- Utility: $MINT serves as the native currency for transactions and staking within the Mint Blockchain network.
- Asset Pricing: $MINT is used for pricing and issuing assets such as NFTs, tokens, and RWAs.

$MINT Staking & Restaking Mechanism
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.
Initial Incentive Program
Mint will provide rewards to real users, including:
- MintID NFT stakers
- Active users of Mint Forest
- Mint Expedition MP and NFT holders
- Mint Big Bang winners
- NFT Legends Season — Unboxed holders
- Mint x OKX Pioneer Explorer NFT holders and Mint x GoPlus Christmas joint event winners
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.
