Mint Launches $MNTD, Introducing Token-Powered Status Levels and a New Player Rewards Economy

Marshall Islands, October 20, 2026 – Mint.io, a licensed iGaming platform built by a team with over 12 years of industry experience, announces the launch of its native utility token, $MNTD, on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). The launch introduces a token-powered rewards economy connecting player activity, staking, loyalty progression, and platform rewards within the MINT ecosystem.

The team behind MINT brings an established track record across the gaming industry, with over $20 billion in historical wagering volume, more than 10 billion plays, and over 5 million players served across its previous operations.

The launch marks the next phase of Mint’s “token-last” approach. Rather than introducing a token before establishing its product and player base, Mint first developed its gaming platform, progression systems, and seasonal leaderboards. With $MNTD entering circulation, these existing systems evolve into a token-powered loyalty and rewards economy.

Operated by Sage Shark Ltd under Anjouan gaming licence ALSI-202507035-FI2, Mint brings together gaming and sports betting experiences under a single 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

Ahead of its launch, Mint introduced several campaigns rewarding early players with $MNTD allocations through activity directly on the platform.

The Season 1 Leaderboard Airdrop allocated $125,000 worth of $MNTD among eligible participants based on XP earned through qualifying gameplay. A 200% XP boost during the final pre-launch period gave players an opportunity to improve their standings ahead of the snapshot.

Alongside the leaderboard, the Daily $MNTD Drip rewarded eligible participants with 1,200 $MNTD for completing qualifying daily activity, with additional 1,500 $MNTD bonuses for five-day participation streaks. The campaign featured a maximum allocation of 750,000 $MNTD.

These campaigns marked the final chapter of Mint’s original 21-rank XP progression system. Players who participated ahead of launch are rewarded with $MNTD allocations based on their XP leaderboard standings and additional rewards accumulated through pre-TGE campaigns, as recorded at the final snapshot.

With $MNTD now live, the previous XP-based loyalty system gives way to MINT Status, a new seven-level progression system powered by $MNTD staking, offering enhanced reward rates, ongoing token earnings, and additional benefits as players advance.

Introducing MINT Status: Stake, Progress and Earn

The central utility of $MNTD is MINT Status, a token-powered loyalty system introducing seven progression levels: Noob, Ape, Wolf, Bull, Shadow, Alpha, and Minted.

Players progress through these levels based on the value of $MNTD committed through flexible staking, with thresholds ranging from $250 for Noob to $25,000 for Minted.

Each Status Level unlocks increasingly competitive reward rates and platform benefits, including enhanced rakeback, lossback, daily rewards, airdrops, and ongoing staking rewards.

Rakeback increases from 10% at Noob to 22% at Minted, while weekly lossback reaches up to 9%. Daily rewards and additional $MNTD airdrop opportunities unlock progressively as players advance through the Status Levels.

Beyond platform reward rates, higher Status Levels also increase staking reward weight, with multipliers ranging from 1.1× at Noob to 1.7× at Minted. This gives higher-level participants greater relative weight in the distribution of $MNTD staking rewards, which accrue over time and can be compounded.

Players can also choose optional staking lockups of 7, 30, or 90 days, boosting applicable platform reward rates by 10%, 20%, or 30%, respectively. At the highest Status Level, combined reward rates can reach up to approximately 45% with the maximum lock boost, subject to applicable reward conditions.

Unlike traditional loyalty programmes relying exclusively on gameplay, MINT Status connects token participation directly with platform benefits, creating an ongoing cycle of staking, progression, 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 launches with a fixed maximum supply of 1 billion tokens, with allocations dedicated to community rewards, ecosystem growth, liquidity, airdrops, staking incentives, and long-term development.

Approximately 15.7% of the total token supply is allocated to staking incentives, with 9% specifically reserved for the MINT Status staking rewards pool. This represents 90 million $MNTD over four years, with 22.5 million tokens allocated annually to support ongoing staking rewards.

The remaining approximately 6.7% is reserved for additional staking initiatives and future ecosystem opportunities, providing flexibility to expand $MNTD utility beyond its initial applications.

The token has not been offered through a public token sale, with its initial community distribution focused on rewarding participation across Mint’s pre-launch campaigns.

The token economy combines activity-driven community rewards with defined allocations and vesting schedules. It also incorporates ecosystem-funded buybacks and burns, supported by activity across participating platforms and partners, with Mint.io serving as the first integrated platform.

These mechanisms are designed to connect long-term token utility with ecosystem usage and activity, rather than relying exclusively on predetermined reward distribution schedules.

$MNTD launches on Robinhood Chain, establishing the on-chain foundation for token transfers, staking infrastructure, and future Web3 integrations.

Expanding the $MNTD Economy

The launch marks the beginning of a broader expansion of Mint’s token-powered ecosystem, with additional seasonal campaigns, community incentives, and token utilities planned beyond TGE.

Through MINT Status, players can stake tokens, unlock enhanced platform benefits, and accumulate additional $MNTD through eligible activity. The roadmap also includes Web3-native staking opportunities through getminted.io, complementing the MINT Status system available on Mint.io.

By combining established gaming infrastructure with token-powered loyalty, progression, and on-chain participation, MINT aims to build an interconnected player rewards economy designed to grow alongside platform activity.

Mint.io’s gaming platform and free-to-play Telegram Mini App are already live, with $MNTD trading on decentralized exchanges from October 20, 2026.
