Mint.io, a licensed iGaming platform created by industry veterans with over 12 years of experience, has officially launched its native utility token, $MNTD, on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). This debut introduces a token-driven rewards economy that ties together user activity, platform benefits, staking, and loyalty progression across the entire MINT ecosystem.
The leadership team behind MINT boasts an impressive industry track record, having previously recorded more than $20 billion in historical wagering volume, over 10 billion plays, and served upwards of 5 million players in prior operations.
The rollout represents the next phase of Mint’s “token-last” strategy. Instead of releasing a token prior to establishing its product and user base, Mint first built out its gaming platform, seasonal leaderboards, and progression systems. Now that $MNTD is in circulation, those established features transition into a token-powered rewards and loyalty model.
Operated by Sage Shark Ltd under Anjouan gaming licence ALSI-202507035-FI2, Mint combines both sports betting and gaming experiences into a single user account.
“We built the experience before introducing the token. Players have already spent months earning XP, climbing ranks, competing on leaderboards, and collecting rewards. With $MNTD, we’re taking that ecosystem further with a new layer of progression that rewards both participation and loyalty. We want players to benefit from their activity across MINT,” said a spokesperson for Mint.io.
Rewarding Players Before the Token Launch
Prior to the official debut, Mint hosted several promotional campaigns designed to reward early adopters with $MNTD allocations based on their platform activity.
The Season 1 Leaderboard Airdrop distributed $125,000 worth of $MNTD among eligible users according to the XP earned through qualifying gameplay. Additionally, a 200% XP boost during the final pre-launch window allowed players to enhance their standings before the snapshot.
Alongside the leaderboard events, the Daily $MNTD Drip granted eligible participants 1,200 $MNTD for finishing qualifying daily tasks, while a five-day participation streak yielded an extra 1,500 $MNTD bonus. This specific campaign featured a capped allocation of 750,000 $MNTD.
These initiatives concluded Mint’s original 21-rank XP progression framework. Users who engaged with the platform prior to launch received $MNTD allotments tied to their final XP leaderboard positions and other pre-TGE campaign rewards captured during the final snapshot.
With $MNTD now active, the former XP loyalty structure has been replaced by MINT Status, a seven-tier progression system driven by $MNTD staking that delivers better reward rates, continuous token earnings, and extra perks as users level up.
Introducing MINT Status: Stake, Progress and Earn
The core utility of $MNTD centers on MINT Status, a token-based loyalty framework featuring seven distinct tiers: Noob, Ape, Wolf, Bull, Shadow, Alpha, and Minted.
Users advance through these tiers by committing $MNTD via flexible staking options, with required thresholds starting at $250 for the Noob tier and scaling up to $25,000 for Minted.
Every Status Level unlocks increasingly lucrative reward rates and platform perks, such as improved rakeback, lossback, regular daily rewards, airdrops, and continuous staking yields.
Rakeback scales from 10% at the Noob level to 22% at Minted, whereas weekly lossback scales up to 9%. Daily rewards and additional $MNTD airdrop eligibility unlock incrementally as users climb the Status tiers.
In addition to standard platform benefits, higher Status Levels boost staking reward weights, offering multipliers that begin at 1.1× for Noob and reach 1.7× for Minted. This grants higher-tier participants a larger proportional share of $MNTD staking rewards, which accumulate over time and support compounding.
Users can also select optional staking lockup durations of 7, 30, or 90 days, which increase applicable platform reward rates by 10%, 20%, or 30%, respectively. At the top Status Level, combined reward rates can reach up to roughly 45% when utilizing the maximum lock boost, subject to standard reward conditions.
Unlike legacy loyalty initiatives that depend entirely on gameplay, MINT Status links token participation straight to platform advantages, establishing a continuous cycle of progression, staking, and rewards.
“The real utility of $MNTD starts with MINT Status. Players can use their tokens to unlock better reward rates, earn ongoing token rewards, and progress through a loyalty system that grows with their participation. We’re not introducing a token that sits separately from the platform. We’re integrating it into the rewards experience players already use every day,” added a spokesperson for Mint.io.
A Fixed-Supply Token Designed Around Platform Activity
$MNTD features a hard-capped maximum supply of 1 billion tokens, with designated portions set aside for community rewards, ecosystem growth, liquidity provisions, airdrops, staking incentives, and long-term expansion.
Roughly 15.7% of the aggregate token supply is earmarked for staking incentives, with 9% specifically reserved for the MINT Status staking rewards pool. This equals 90 million $MNTD distributed across four years, with 22.5 million tokens released annually to back ongoing staking payouts.
The remaining approximately 6.7% is set aside for additional staking programs and future ecosystem prospects, granting flexibility to expand the utility of $MNTD beyond its initial use cases.
The token was not distributed through a public token sale; instead, its initial community distribution centered on rewarding participation across Mint’s pre-launch activities.
The token economy pairs activity-driven community incentives with structured allocations and vesting timelines. It also integrates ecosystem-funded buybacks and burns, fueled by usage across participating platforms and partners, with Mint.io acting as the first integrated venue.
These mechanisms are built to tie long-term token utility directly to ecosystem activity and usage, rather than relying exclusively on fixed reward distribution timetables.
$MNTD has launched on Robinhood Chain, providing the on-chain infrastructure for token transfers, staking systems, and forthcoming Web3 features.
Expanding the $MNTD Economy
The release kicks off a wider expansion of Mint’s token-driven ecosystem, with extra seasonal events, community incentives, and token utilities slated for rollout following the TGE.
Through MINT Status, participants can stake tokens, unlock enhanced platform advantages, and accumulate additional $MNTD via eligible activities. The roadmap additionally features Web3-native staking pathways via getminted.io to complement the MINT Status framework hosted on Mint.io.
By pairing proven gaming infrastructure with token-powered loyalty, progression, and on-chain participation, MINT seeks to establish an interconnected player rewards economy built to scale alongside platform usage.
Mint.io’s gaming platform and free-to-play Telegram Mini App are already live, and $MNTD began trading on decentralized exchanges on October 20, 2026.
