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 tokenized rewards economy that unites player activity, staking, loyalty tracks, and platform perks within the broader MINT ecosystem.
The team behind MINT boasts a proven background in the gaming sector, having previously handled over $20 billion in historical wagering volume, more than 10 billion plays, and upward of 5 million served players.
The release represents the next milestone in Mint’s “token-last” strategy. Instead of rolling out a token prior to establishing a viable product and user base, Mint prioritized building its gaming platform, progression mechanics, and seasonal leaderboards first. With $MNTD now in circulation, these foundational features transition into a robust, token-powered loyalty and rewards framework.
Operated by Sage Shark Ltd under Anjouan gaming licence ALSI-202507035-FI2, Mint integrates both casino gaming and sports betting experiences under a single user profile.
“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 listing, Mint ran several initiatives to reward early adopters with $MNTD allocations based on direct platform engagement.
The Season 1 Leaderboard Airdrop distributed $125,000 worth of $MNTD to eligible users based on XP accumulated through qualifying gameplay. Additionally, a 200% XP boost during the final pre-launch window allowed participants to optimize their rankings prior to the snapshot.
Alongside the leaderboard competition, the Daily $MNTD Drip rewarded active users with 1,200 $MNTD for fulfilling daily activity requirements, complemented by 1,500 $MNTD bonuses for maintaining five-day streaks. This campaign capped its total allocation at 750,000 $MNTD.
These campaigns concluded Mint’s original 21-rank XP progression system. Users who engaged ahead of the launch are receiving $MNTD allocations determined by their final XP standings and pre-TGE campaign rewards captured at the snapshot.
Following the rollout of $MNTD, the former XP loyalty model transitions into MINT Status—a seven-tier progression structure driven by $MNTD staking that offers elevated reward rates, continuous token yields, and extra perks as users advance.
Introducing MINT Status: Stake, Progress and Earn
At the core of $MNTD utility is MINT Status, a token-based loyalty program spanning seven tiers: Noob, Ape, Wolf, Bull, Shadow, Alpha, and Minted.
Users advance through these tiers by committing $MNTD via flexible staking, with entry thresholds starting at $250 for Noob and scaling up to $25,000 for Minted.
Every status tier unlocks increasingly lucrative reward rates and platform privileges, including boosted rakeback, lossback, daily rewards, airdrops, and ongoing staking yields.
Rakeback scales from 10% at the Noob level to 22% at Minted, while weekly lossback climbs as high as 9%. Daily rewards and supplemental $MNTD airdrop eligibility unlock progressively as players climb the ranks.
Furthermore, higher Status Levels scale up staking reward weight, offering multipliers from 1.1× at Noob to 1.7× at Minted. This grants higher-tier participants a greater relative share of $MNTD staking rewards, which accumulate over time and support compounding.
Participants can also opt for fixed staking lockup periods of 7, 30, or 90 days, which amplify applicable platform reward rates by 10%, 20%, or 30%, respectively. At the peak Status Level, combined reward rates can reach up to approximately 45% with maximum lock boosts, subject to prevailing conditions.
Unlike legacy loyalty schemes restricted purely to gameplay, MINT Status directly bridges token involvement with platform benefits, establishing a continuous cycle of staking, advancement, 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 fixed maximum supply of 1 billion tokens, with designated allocations for community incentives, ecosystem expansion, liquidity, airdrops, staking rewards, and long-term development.
Roughly 15.7% of the aggregate supply is assigned to staking incentives, with 9% specifically earmarked for the MINT Status staking rewards pool. This translates to 90 million $MNTD distributed across four years, at a rate of 22.5 million tokens annually.
The remaining 6.7% is set aside for supplementary staking initiatives and future ecosystem opportunities, ensuring flexibility to scale $MNTD utility beyond its initial use cases.
The token bypassed a public sale entirely, focusing its initial community distribution on rewarding activity across Mint’s pre-launch campaigns.
The token economy pairs activity-driven community incentives with structured allocations and vesting timelines. It also features ecosystem-backed buybacks and burns, fueled by activity across participating platforms and partners, with Mint.io acting as the first integrated venue.
These mechanisms are engineered to align long-term token utility directly with ecosystem engagement rather than depending solely on rigid distribution schedules.
$MNTD is launched on Robinhood Chain, forming the on-chain infrastructure for token transfers, staking systems, and subsequent Web3 integrations.
Expanding the $MNTD Economy
The rollout marks the inception of a broader scaling phase for Mint’s token-powered ecosystem, with subsequent seasonal events, community rewards, and token functions planned post-TGE.
Through MINT Status, users can stake tokens, unlock enhanced platform advantages, and accumulate extra $MNTD through qualifying activity. The roadmap also incorporates Web3-native staking options via getminted.io to complement the MINT Status framework hosted on Mint.io.
By fusing established gaming infrastructure with tokenized loyalty, progression, and on-chain engagement, MINT seeks to cultivate 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 trading on decentralized exchanges commenced on October 20, 2026.
