Gems always shine in all circumstances. We are thrilled to announce that Minted.network (Minted™), a decentralized NFT platform, will be launched through our Initial Gem Offering (IGO)!

What is Minted?

Minted.network is a decentralised NFT platform that aspires to be the digital bazaar of wonders for everyone to discover, trade, and find NFT gems, native to Ethereum and Cronos. Aiming to bring more tools for collection owners to design, curate, and offer utilities to their communities, all without the technical complexities that riddle many aspiring collection owners.

Mint, Minting, Minted

Minted helps promote discovery between creators and collectors, with the below key functions:

  • Self-Custodial Trading — users maintain full control of their NFTs
  • Multi-chain Support — supports both Ethereum and Cronos from the get go
  • Native $MTD token — $MTD is Minted™’s native token on Cronos designed to reward and incentivize the long term supporters of the platform
  • Security First — placing safety and security as the top priority, Minted™ smart contracts are fully audited by third-party auditor Blocksec

Why Minted™ Network?

Minted™ Network provides enormous added value to the benefit of creators, collectors and stakeholders via:

  • Extending Cronos NFT ecosystem — Minted™ as the link taking Cronos NFT ecosystem further by enhancing the attractiveness and visibility of the projects to other interchain communities, starting with Ethereum
  • Empowering collection owners — Minted™ brings more tools for collection owners to design, curate and offer utilities to their communities without the technical complexities
  • Rewarding the community — a proportion of trading fees will be shared with the community to incentivize long-term supporters of Minted™. Users will also be able to deposit $MTD into vaults to earn additional yield on it

Gem Fair eligibility snapshot: Taken randomly between Aug 7th— Aug 8th

Vesting: 40% Immediate, 60% Monthly Vesting at 10%

Investment token: $VVS

Max commitment: $100 USD worth of VVS

Max overflow: 4x

Basic Offering: ‘Gem Fair’ (USD 60,000 to raise)

In the Gem Fair, each person can contribute a MAXIMUM of $100 USD equivalent of VVS tokens.

To enter the Gem Fair, each user has to stake in xVVS Vaults, with varying amounts based on the different vault lockup period. Note: the staked amount cannot be split across multiple Vaults.

In essence, with a longer lockup period in the Vaults, the amount of xVVS staked required to enter the Gem Fair will be lowered.

The Gem Fair eligibility snapshot will be taken randomly between Aug 7th — Aug 8st. Make sure to complete the staking requirement by Aug 6th 11:59 PM UTC — 2022

The number of tokens available in this format will account for 100% of the total offering.

In order to ensure participants have meaningful IGO allocation in the event of oversubscription, the Max Overflow mechanism will be implemented. The pool will stop accepting further deposit commitment once the overflow reaches 4x / 400% of the amount to raise.

What Is the “Overflow” Method?

In essence, the more a user commits, the more allocation they may receive based on their percent commitment over the total committed amount.

FAQ

1) What is the overflow model*?

In essence, the more users commit, the more allocation they may receive based on their percent commitment over the total committed amount. Any unspent amount is returned to users immediately after the IGO.

In collaboration with Minted.Network, the remaining committed VVS balance will be returned to users after 30 days. So yes! you receive MTD and all your committed VVS back.

2) How are VVS users eligible for the IGO?
VVS users are required to stake xVVS in Vaults and meet the staking requirements prior to the IGO to participate.

3) What is the max overflow cap for?

Max overflow is an optional feature if the project team wants to ensure an equitable size for pool participants. After the max overflow amount is hit, no additional users can commit further funds.

4) Any vesting/restriction on the funds raised?

We don’t impose vesting or restrictions, project owners can dissolve the LP, and utilize funds at their discretion.

5) Can we launch a Crystal Farm/Glitter Mine on your platform?

To incentive users to add further liquidity to your pool, we can launch a farm pair with your token. Generally, the IGO project owners sponsor an equivalent amount of token in a Glitter Mine for VVS users to earn your token.

6) How about co-marketing?

IGO is a deep partnership. Our team will be fully committed to promoting your project to our user base and launching co-marketing initiatives.

7) How does the fee on the unlimited pool work?

The fee goes from a max of 1% decreasing in cliffs to 0.2% when the pool reaches overflow percentage.
The fee is taxed on the amount committed and is sent to the VVS treasury to cover platform operational costs.
