  2. Ecosystem Incentives: $MINT rewards developers building on Mint Blockchain.

  3. Utility: $MINT is the native currency for Mint Blockchain transactions and staking assets.

  4. Asset Pricing: $MINT is used for pricing transactions and issuing assets like NFTs, tokens, and RWAs.

$MINT Staking & Restaking Mechanism

CLI commands

Mint Blockchain implements a decentralized distribution of rewards for network transaction ordering through the $MINT Staking & Restaking mechanism.

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

After users stake $MINT, they will receive staking certificates called sMINT Tokens (Staked MINT Tokens).

Holding sMINT provides an APR of 15% in $MINT token mining rewards, funded by MintDAO.

Once users acquire sMINT, they can combine it into BC721 Mint-eNFT assets (the required amount of sMINT varies based on the Bonding Curve, adding an element of strategy and excitement). Holding a BC721 Mint-eNFT grants users 50% of Mint Blockchain’s sequencer revenue (after deducting DA fees and Superchain Profit Share) as mining rewards. This process can be understood as a Restaking operation for $MINT tokens.

CLI commands

The $MINT staking & restaking mechanism ensures predictable returns for the Mint community. Everyone starts earning a staking and restaking rewards ( $MINT & $ETH) everyday. The restaking mechanism leverages our innovative bounding curve, combined with Mint-eNFT assets.

Through this mechanism, users can earn stable 15% APR rewards and have the right to share in the revenue of the whole network.
