LEARN THE PROTOCOL
Launch art.
Trade the curve.
Create a 10,000-NFT collection paired with ETH, an approved Robinhood Stock Token, or a new PONS token. Understand every step from verified artwork to secondary trading and rewards.
CREATE / LAUNCH
Launch a collection
Minty collections have a fixed maximum supply of 10,000 NFTs. The creator prepares the artwork and metadata, chooses a supported quote asset, and reviews the launch before signing in their wallet.
The Create workspace makes the permanent pair decision explicit. Choose native ETH, an approved Robinhood Stock Token from the searchable canonical catalog, or a new PONS token. Catalog presence is informational: only assets that also pass Minty’s reviewed on-chain registry checks can be selected for deployment.
New collection contracts support owner-priced NFT listings while the primary bonding curve is still active. Buyers can choose the next curve NFT or a specific listed NFT; after all 10,000 NFTs have entered circulation, primary minting ends and the collection’s configured reserve-backed secondary liquidity takes over. Legacy immutable collections retain their original post-graduation transfer rule.
Minty calculates a deterministic rarity rank from the complete 10,000-item metadata set. Trait frequencies—including missing traits—produce an information-content score, while the primary curve price remains identical for common and rare NFTs.
An optional creator purchase can buy up to 500 NFTs (5% of the collection) as part of an ETH or RWA launch. It pays along the same curve and moves the opening supply and subsequent price forward. It is not a free allocation; the PONS-linked launch currently has no NFT creator buy.
Minty charges 0.001 ETH to deploy a collection across all launch modes, plus network gas. A PONS-linked launch also has PONS’s separate live token-launch fee and wallet transactions.
Provenance is committed before creation. Review your metadata and purchase limits carefully before confirming an irreversible transaction.

Artwork, metadata & rarity
Prepare exactly 10,000 numbered images and their metadata. Minty accepts a ZIP or a folder, checks for missing or duplicate IDs and unsafe files, builds canonical metadata, then publishes and verifies content-addressed image and metadata roots before deployment.
An upload job survives a reload. ZIP parts and processing checkpoints can resume after an interruption. If a job says Queued, it is waiting for a processing slot; reopen Create and resume or track the existing job rather than creating a duplicate. Final provider verification must finish before the wallet deploys the collection.
The complete manifest determines trait frequencies and rarity ranks. An NFT detail view enlarges the art and shows named traits, their frequency, rank, and current owner so a buyer can inspect a specific NFT before purchasing it.
TRADE / PRIMARY MARKET
The bonding curve
Before graduation, the next sequential NFT is priced by the collection’s curve. As net purchases increase supply, the next NFT costs more. Selling back before graduation returns an NFT to pool inventory and moves the curve back down, subject to the pool’s rules and fees. A separately listed NFT can have an owner-set asking price.
A multi-NFT purchase covers several points on the curve; it is not simply the first displayed price multiplied by quantity. Always review the total quote, fees, and maximum spend.
Current factories use direct settlement: a successful sell returns the NFTs and pays net proceeds to the seller inside one atomic transaction. If payment fails, the entire sale reverts. Withdrawal or claim controls are retained only for legacy recovery and exceptional cross-chain settlement.
PAIRS / QUOTE ASSETS
ETH & RWA pairs
The quote asset is the asset used to price and settle the collection. An ETH pair uses native ETH. An RWA pair uses an approved token—for example, a supported stock-linked token identified by its ticker. A PONS-linked collection uses its launched token.
A ticker badge identifies the pair; it does not mean that the NFT represents shares or ownership of that company. A collection’s value in dollars can change both with NFT pricing and with its quote asset.
Robinhood Stock Token pairing is a Robinhood-mainnet feature. The app reads Robinhood’s canonical chain-4663 catalog, then independently checks Minty’s registry approval, 18-decimal configuration, asset class, and reviewed price feed. Unapproved entries may be visible for discovery but remain disabled. A catalog entry alone does not enable trading.
PONS / LINKED LAUNCH
One token, one NFT collection
PONS mode verifies the NFT artwork first, then guides the creator through launching a new ETH-paired PONS token and linking it to one 10,000-NFT Minty collection. The token and collection share the name and symbol. A creator uploads a token logo, chooses an eligible live PONS token-curve preset, and reviews each fee. The flow records confirmed steps and can resume, but each required on-chain transaction still needs a wallet approval.
The compatible token supply is one billion. Minty’s NFT curve is denominated in that token and reaches a cumulative reserve target of 650 million tokens when all 10,000 NFTs are outstanding. NFT buyers spend the token; pre-graduation NFT sellers receive it. PONS token graduation moves its token market from the PONS curve to locked Uniswap V4 liquidity. That transition and Minty’s 10,000-NFT graduation are separate events; the NFT quote asset stays the same token.
Optional PONS holder fee sharing routes PONS creator trading fees to token holders. Fees actually earned by Minty’s NFT pool and reserve can flow to NFTs already minted after PONS publishes an eligible claim and Minty processes and converts its share to ETH. Later NFTs do not receive earlier distributions. This is different from the optional cashback on NFT secondary sales.
TRADE / CHECKOUT
Pay with ETH or USDG
The intended experience is simple: choose ETH or USDG, review your total, and let the router acquire the exact RWA amount needed inside the transaction. You should not have to manually acquire the RWA to fund a collection purchase.
The new funding router covers creator purchases, primary buys, secondary listing purchases, and bid funding. USDG needs a spending approval; ETH needs transaction value. Both still require native ETH for network gas.
Maximum input, quote limits, and deadlines protect the request. Unused input is refunded. If the route cannot deliver the required amount, the transaction reverts rather than completing a partial purchase; a mined failed transaction can still cost gas.
LIFECYCLE / THE NEXT PHASE
Graduation
When the collection completes its 10,000-NFT primary curve, it graduates. The primary curve closes and the protocol moves the graduation reserve into its designated custody and secondary-liquidity system.
The reserve is not a creator-withdrawable launch payout. After graduation, trading uses the collection’s secondary market—not continued minting on the original curve.
For a PONS-linked collection, NFT graduation is independent of the PONS token’s move to Uniswap V4. Collection trading remains denominated in its original token across both token phases.

Listings, bids & reserve liquidity
Owners can list particular NFTs at their chosen price, buyers can inspect named traits and purchase listings, and bidders can fund individual-NFT or collection-wide offers. Accepting a bid transfers the NFT to the bidder and settles the payment under the market’s rules.
Reserve-funded bids and resale inventory are a separate liquidity mechanism. Inventory acquired by that mechanism can be offered for resale, subject to its configured pricing, exposure limits, and governance permissions.
Dynamic pricing and inventory limits help manage reserve use. They cannot create unlimited ETH or guarantee perpetual bids at the floor. Quotes can change or become unavailable when reserves, inventory, or risk limits constrain a trade.
FEES / REWARDS
Where the fees go
Creators can optionally enable holder cashback after NFT graduation at launch. Eligible secondary-sale creator fees then become claimable by current NFT owners rather than the creator. Unclaimed rewards follow an NFT when it is sold or transferred. ETH and RWA collections pay in their quote asset. In the PONS mode, a capped operator converts accrued token rewards to ETH before holder claims; conversion is not instant.
PONS token holder fee sharing is a separate option for fees from PONS token trades. PONS distributes creator token fees to token holders; Minty’s eligible share can flow to already minted NFTs after a claim and ETH conversion. Rewards require real eligible fees and active routing. View claimable holder rewards and creator earnings in your profile.
A creator can also hand future eligible creator fees to an accepted community wallet through the collection’s community takeover flow. Previously accrued fees stay with their original recipient; the protocol’s 0.25% share and total 1% secondary fee do not change.
Open claims →DISCOVER / COMMUNITY
Markets & notifications
Markets separates Minty’s executable curves and graduated order books from OpenSea market intelligence. The market pulse highlights the most active, closest-to-graduation, newest, and graduated collections. Every external card states whether Minty checkout is enabled or the data is view-only.
Use cards for quick discovery or terminal mode for a dense scanner and inspector. Search by name, ticker, pair, or address; filter by lifecycle, pair type, launch age, and watchlist; sort by activity or graduation; and inspect execution-price history, 24-hour wallet flow, concentration, and current trade entry without leaving the scanner. Keyboard shortcuts support search and row navigation on desktop.
Native bonding collections expose inline quick buys that still request a fresh all-in wallet quote. RWA and graduated collections route into their collection room and appropriate market rather than reusing a native-only action. Browser alerts are optional convenience signals, not an execution guarantee.
Discover also has watched rooms, collection chat, verified trade activity, and a global chat. A callout can pin a collection from a wallet’s owned Minty collections; timestamped callouts can appear on a collection chart near the time they were posted. Profiles support follows and NFT profile pictures. Callouts are commentary, not verified trades or recommendations.
PORTFOLIO / PERFORMANCE
Holdings, claims & leaderboard
Portfolio collects your NFTs, watched rooms, activity, and available claims. Public profiles and leaderboards use indexed Minty trades. Realized P&L ranks closed positions; open holdings have cost basis rather than a realized gain. Supported non-ETH spends and proceeds are converted into a comparable ETH amount under the indexer’s methodology.
Gas, unrealized price marks, and unsupported external transactions are excluded from realized P&L. Season participation points are separate from trading returns.
WALLETS / BEFORE YOU SIGN
Wallets & safety
Review the wallet network, contract destination, input asset, maximum spend, recipient, and deadline. Trading fees, swap costs, and network gas are distinct costs. The transaction’s current quote is the source of truth.
Token prices and available liquidity can move. Slippage limits may cause a transaction to fail instead of filling at a worse price. Contract controls reduce risk; they do not eliminate smart-contract, market, or wallet risk.
Never share your recovery phrase or private key. Minty’s wallet flow asks you to approve transactions, not disclose your wallet secrets.
Browser, mobile browser, and wallet-app browsers can offer different connection choices. Check the connected address and Robinhood Chain network, and confirm the destination and amount for each step. If a wallet transaction is pending, check its hash before retrying. Read the Terms and Risk Disclosure.
NETWORK / AVAILABILITY
Mainnet features, clearly labeled.
Minty is Robinhood-first. Each collection and market identifies its network, quote asset, lifecycle stage, and available transaction path before you sign.
Only enabled actions backed by Minty’s verified mainnet configuration are executable. Assets may appear for discovery before they are approved for collection pairing or trading, and view-only market data is labeled separately from Minty checkout.
Full 10,000-NFT PONS lifecycles and reward accounting have been rehearsed on mainnet forks without real ETH. The live PONS token and collection have not yet completed both graduations and all reward claims on mainnet. The current Create readiness checks, collection status, and transaction review show what is available now.
Ethereum and additional execution routes will appear only after their production contracts, liquidity venues, and application configuration are enabled. The action shown in the application is the authoritative indication of what is available.
