Project Overview
Mintify is the best consumer experience to trade every asset and every market directly onchain.
Mintify is part of a next generation of platforms that support real-time, direct onchain trading of your favorite economies. We are positioned to be the backbone of the largest opportunity zone of the 21st century: Digital Asset Markets, Decentralized Networks And Consumer Applications.
Project Demo: Mintify.xyz
Expected Completion Date for 2025: The project is currently ‘completed’, and we are rolling out a new iteration + version this year which includes a iOS experience, token trading functionality, and more network support.
Current Progress (%): 100% done, we are now onto phase 3. We have been building out in the open for years :).
Note: Our current platform supports NFT discovery and trading as of March 13th 2025. Our plan to launch tokens + fungibles is expected to be complete, with a complete overhaul of our trading experience, in Q2 2025.
Technical & Governance Details
Project Test Instructions: Visit Mintify.xyz and try out our consumer and pro versions. There, you’’ll be able to
a) add your favorite wallet
b) buy and sell NFTs across any network that we support.
c) try our programmatic APIs
Technical Details: N/A
Smart Contract Links: not applicable
How is the Project Governed?: Currently centralized in terms of governance but we are releasing $MINT and slowly decentralizing. Our goal is to increase decentralized governance as we support more infrastructure and networks. Goal is to create a hybrid model.
Funding & Business Model
Funding Request: We are requesting a 250k grant to support TRON.
Revenue Model: Mintify earns revenue through primary sales and secondary sales conducted on the platform. We are also expanding our APIs and SDKs for other builders to build great experiences on chain. All of this ties back to Mintify’s trading engine. Once deployed onto Tron, we can offer NFT and utility token launches on the platform, as well as discovery and trading directly onchain. This extends to Tron consumer applications once we release our builder SDK later this year.
Interested in TRON Having a Stake?: Yes, would love to understand more what this looks like.
Preferred Collaboration Method: There are a few ways we would love to work together:
a) Partner with Tron consumer applications builders looking to easily build experiences that require order books, tokens, and data + apis.
b) Deploy and offer our trading infrastructure on TRON.
c) bring our creator economy to TRON as it expands into more use cases.
d) connect with and work with game developers that want to build games on TRON.
e) connect with and work with art groups that want to launch Art experiences onchain.
f) co-marketing and promotion across our channels.
g) support one another through distribution
h) Work together as ecosystem partners
Ecosystem Impact
We have a long history working closely with the largest blockchain protocols to support the adoption of their networks. These include Polygon, Base, Optimsm, Arbitrum, Apechain, Blast, Abstract and more.
Project Milestones
Milestone 1 - first fundraiser in 2022 - built the first iteration of Mintify
Milestone 2 - second fundraise in 2023 - built the pro version of Mintify
Milestone 3 - by end of 2024 reached close to 250k wallets
Milestone 4 - Acquired Magically
Upcoming Milestones:
Release our SDK to support application development with ecosystem partners like Tron
Support Fungible/Utility Tokens
Integrate our backlog of networks
Release our iOS App
Project in 5 Years: We are the one stop shop to discover new and popular tokens across a network - a way more extensive, consumer focused experience than existing centralized exchanges. We also plan to develop an ecosystem of applications that leverage our trading infrastructure.
