Mint Launches Its Public Mainnet, Opening Access To Community And Developers
In Brief
Mint launched its public mainnet and opened access to community users, following successful devnet release in May.
Ethereum Layer 2 network Mint (MINT) announced the launch of its Public Mainnet and opened access to community users. This release comes after the deployment of devnet in May, during which Mint conducted extensive development and rigorous testing.
With this launch, Mint’s infrastructure became fully operational, supported by over 100 ecosystem partners and serving more than 400,000 active on-chain addresses. At present, it includes various block explorers such as Mint Explorer, Mint Scan, NFTScan, and SocialScan. It also incorporates cryptocurrency wallets like MetaMask and Rabby Wallet, among others, alongside cross-chain bridges such as Mint Bridge, Owlto Finance, and Orbiter Finance.
Additionally, Mint’s infrastructure encompasses data services including DeFiLlama and L2beat and more, supports protocols like MintSwap and IceCreamSwap, and collaborates with oracles and security audit partners.
To support its growth, Mint announced that its Mint Eco Fund has allocated 5% of MINT tokens to incentivize developer participation. In cases when projects contribute to the Mint Mainnet ecosystem, builders have the option to apply for support from the Mint Eco Fund.
Mint plans to roll out its major mainnet activity to encourage Web3 developers and community members to take part in building the Mint blockchain mainnet later in July.
Mint Raises $5M In Financing To Advance Its NFT Infrastructure
It is an Ethereum-native Layer 2 network tailored for the non-fungible token (NFT) sector, developed using the OP Stack and supported by NFTScan and Optimism. Fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Mint enables Ethereum developers to effortlessly extend their projects onto this new network. Moreover, this integration offers reduced gas fees and enhanced scalability for the Ethereum ecosystem.
Notably, as part of the Optimism Superchain, developers and Web3 projects within the Mint ecosystem have access to funding opportunities from the OP Foundation. This support aims to encourage innovation and foster growth within the Mint ecosystem.
Recently, the project raised $5 million in a seed financing round led by Jsquare, SNZ Capital, Antalpha Ventures, Mask Network, BlockAI Ventures, and other prominent contributors. It intends to allocate these funds towards enhancing the global market presence of Mint blockchain and advancing the development of its NFT infrastructure.
