Mint Blockchain, an innovative L2 network, aims to connect global consumers with NFTs. As a core component of the Optimism Superchain, Mint Blockchain leverages an efficient and low-cost L2 architecture to empower NFT innovation, applications, and adoption, driving the prosperity of the global NFT blockchain ecosystem.
Mint Blockchain: Building a Global NFT Ecosystem
🍀 Mint Blockchain is an Ethereum-native Layer 2 network built on the OP Stack, began development in October 2023. It launched its testnet in February 2024, followed by the release of the developer mainnet in May 2024 and the community mainnet in July 2024. To date, the Mint Blockchain ecosystem boasts over 100 applications, more than 200k active wallet users, and over 20 million on-chain transactions.
Over the past six months, Mint Blockchain has successfully completed the foundational infrastructure for its blockchain network. The ecosystem now features comprehensive developer tools and robust data service support. Web3 developers can efficiently issue new assets on the Mint mainnet, including NFT asset issuance, trading, smart contract deployment, and new application development. This significantly lowers the technical barriers for developers and accelerates the adoption of NFT technologies.
Built on the OP Superchain
In April 2024, Mint Blockchain joined the OP Superchain ecosystem, becoming an official member of the Optimism Superchain ecosystem. It has actively participated in OP governance through the Optimism Superchain governance framework, becoming the first Superchain to formally engage in OP governance via the Chain Delegation Program.
As a core member of the OP Superchain, Mint Blockchain received 750K OP strategic support from the Optimism Foundation in October this year. Built on the Optimism technology stack and leveraging the robust governance and scalability of the OP Superchain, Mint Blockchain ensures high throughput, low transaction costs, and strong decentralization. It not only supports a wide range of DeFi, NFT, and other Web3 applications but also provides developers, users, and brands with a flexible and efficient blockchain platform.
About OP Superchain and OP Interop
OP Superchain is a unified multi-chain network structure formed by integrating multiple Layer 2 networks built on the OP Stack. It offers enhanced scalability, low latency, and higher transaction throughput. Chains within the OP Superchain share the same security model and governance mechanisms, enabling low-cost cross-chain communication, asset swaps, and other core interactions.
OP Interop is an on-chain interoperability feature based on the OP Stack framework. It facilitates low-latency, secure cross-chain message reading and asset transfers within the Superchain. Superchain interop includes both the protocol layer message passing and the Superchain ERC20 token specification.SuperchainERC20 is a cross-chain token interface that enables interchangeability of ERC20 tokens across the Superchain. With the native Interop protocol, assets can move quickly and seamlessly between chains. This innovation transforms traditional cross-chain operations. Once Superchain Interop is live, it will enable 2-second cross-chain settlements, minimize fragmentation, unify liquidity, and maximize capital efficiency and utility.
Mint Ecosystem Applications
The Mint Blockchain ecosystem not only focuses on infrastructure development but also actively promotes native applications across various domains, including social, DeFi, staking, RWA, and memes. It skillfully integrates these applications with NFT asset types to enhance utility and fully capitalize on the advantages of NFTs. Its three main focus areas are:
NFT+ Applications: Mint Blockchain integrates NFTs with gaming, DeFi, social platforms, and other application scenarios, extending NFT use cases beyond digital collectibles to consumer sectors. The goal is to provide users with an immersive consumption experience.
NFT Passes: Mint Blockchain is advancing its NFT Pass initiative, enabling cross-platform asset circulation through NFT Passes. This simplifies identity verification processes, enhances convenience, and lowers the barriers for cross-platform usage.
Simplifying NFT Creation: To attract more creators to the NFT space, Mint Blockchain has streamlined the NFT creation process. It offers all-in-one development tools, allowing creators to easily launch and manage NFT products. This reduces the barriers to entry, enriches market content, and fosters diverse creativity.
In addition, some of the native core featured apps of the Mint Ecosystem:
MintSwap Finance
A decentralized financial protocol supporting diverse trading and NFT staking features, fostering asset liquidity on the Mint.
Mint Forest
A blockchain-based green-themed interactive simulation game that rewards users with Mint airdrops through energy collection and participation in ecosystem activities.
RareShop
The world's first RWA NFT product launch platform integrates the trading of real-world and digital assets. It has collaborated with imKey and Bearbrick to release RWA NFT products, driving the development of Web3 e-commerce.
MintRich
A decentralized meme asset launch platform supporting multiple asset standards, simplifying the issuance of meme assets. Thousands of meme assets have been launched through this platform.
CreditOnchain
A decentralized on-chain reputation network that assigns reputation scores to wallet addresses through multidimensional data analysis, providing developers with enriched user insights and ecosystem incentive mechanisms.
ERC-7765
An innovative asset protocol introduced by Mint Blockchain, enabling users to combine NFT-related rights with tangible products or services, advancing NFT applications in the real world.
NIPs Platform
An NFT development platform by Mint Blockchain offering various protocol supports and infrastructure tools, enabling developers to deploy and issue NFT assets with minimal barriers.
Moreover, the Mint Blockchain team actively fosters collaborations, forming strategic partnerships to further promote the diversified development of the NFT and crypto ecosystem. For example, Mint Blockchain partnered with NFTScan to host the global NFT industry summit, NFTCON, with the inaugural NFTCON2024 successfully held during Devcon. Mint Blockchain also established a strategic partnership with Hong Kong-based compliant crypto payment company RedotPay to jointly promote the creation of a PayFi ecosystem network, among others.
Envisioning Mint Ecosystem in the Future
Mint Blockchain is committed to expanding the diverse application scenarios of NFTs, building a comprehensive ecosystem that encompasses all aspects of digital life. Centered on NFTs, it aims to create a multifaceted ecosystem that deeply integrates NFTs into various aspects of life and digital innovation. The application of NFTs will no longer be limited to digital collectibles but will extend widely to areas such as payments, identity, social interactions, gaming, and asset management, showcasing their boundless potential.

Aggregating NFTs liquidity On-Chain
Mint Blockchain focuses on addressing the fragmentation of liquidity in the NFT market by unifying multi-chain NFT orders on-chain, creating the largest NFT order routing network. Through on-chain interactions and cross-chain interoperability, NFT orders from different chains will converge into a unified on-chain order pool.
This system will handle NFT order registration, broadcasting, and sharing, enabling seamless integration with multiple marketplaces. By providing a robust framework of data APIs and smart contract calls, Mint Blockchain aims to enhance liquidity, optimize NFT trading efficiency, and foster a more interconnected and efficient cross-chain NFT ecosystem.
