As the NFT ecosystem has grown over the past seven years, its resilience and expansive potential have become fully evident. From the initial PFP craze to today’s increasingly diverse applications, NFTs have gradually evolved from niche collectibles into a versatile form of digital assets. Beyond the PFP market, they are expanding into gaming, art, finance, and social fields, showcasing strong innovation potential and market influence.

In this context, after three years in the NFT space, the NFTScan Labs team has worked closely with numerous frontline developers and researched thousands of NFT projects, uncovering the immense potential and vast future applications of NFTs. They are convinced that mass adoption in the crypto world will emerge in the NFT domain, unlocking a market worth trillions of dollars. This belief drives them to create an efficient, secure, and rich on-chain environment. Through technological innovation and ecosystem integration, Mint Blockchain is injecting new vitality into on-chain NFT development, delivering unprecedented opportunities and experiences for creators, collectors, and investors.

Mint is an L2 network dedicated to advancing NFT asset protocol standards. Rooted in the NFT community, Mint Blockchain differs from other L2 networks by focusing on the innovation of NFT asset protocols and the exploration of NFT applications. Its core value lies in fostering and realizing innovations in NFT asset protocols, guiding developers to explore diverse NFT applications, including but not limited to AIGC, gaming, RWA, reputation systems, membership systems, identity systems, culture and entertainment, sports, music and video, copyright tracing, and artistic creation.

Mint Blockchain offers platforms like MintSwap and Mint.Rich to build a comprehensive ecosystem, providing users and developers with a wide range of NFT and DeFi services.

MintSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) and NFT marketplace on Mint Blockchain, delivering token DEX, NFT trading, and NFTFi functionalities for Web3 users. As the first native DeFi protocol and NFT marketplace on Mint Blockchain, MintSwap aims to support top Mint-native teams and tokens. For developers, MintSwap offers a dedicated fair launch mechanism and token management tools developed by top DeFi teams. For regular users, MintSwap provides favorable yield and liquidity provision (LP) opportunities, built-in social and analytics features, and a convenient trading experience.

Mint.Rich is an innovative Meme NFT issuance platform based on Mint Blockchain that simplifies the NFT issuance process, enabling users to easily create and instantly trade Meme NFTs. Users only need to select an image, name, and quantity to complete issuance in one click, launching trading through a dynamic price curve. Mint.Rich focuses on Meme NFT asset launches, supporting ERC721 and ERC404 protocol standards. It combines the Pumpfun launch model with a Bonding Curve price structure, adding a strategic and social element to NFT issuance.

RareShop, an original project on Mint Blockchain, is the world’s first RWA NFT product issuance platform for consumers. By combining RWA with NFTs, it experimentally expands NFT application scenarios, linking and integrating on-chain assets with real-world applications.

In August 2024, the Mint Blockchain team introduced a groundbreaking NFT asset protocol standard — ERC-7765. This protocol aims to enhance the functionality of NFTs by integrating them with real-world assets (RWA) and enabling holders to exercise specific rights associated with these assets. As blockchain technology advances, bridging the gap between on-chain assets and real-world utility becomes increasingly important. ERC-7765 is designed to meet this need, expanding the use cases for NFTs and fostering deeper integration of blockchain technology with real-world applications.

ERC-7765 retains all transfer and authorization logic from the ERC-721 standard, meaning that NFTs created under ERC-7765 can still be transferred and authorized like traditional ERC-721 tokens. This ensures compatibility with existing platforms and wallets that support ERC-721. Beyond this, ERC-7765’s core innovation allows holders to exercise rights associated with specific NFTs and supports binding these rights to the NFT. In short, ERC-7765 enables NFT holders to perform certain actions, such as redeeming privileges for real-world products through on-chain representations.

Currently, the ERC-7765 standard is in active use. Rare.Shop, the world’s first consumer-facing RWA NFT platform, leverages ERC-7765 to enable seamless execution of NFT holder rights both on-chain and off-chain. Supported by this innovative standard and a unique transaction experience, RareShop is opening up new experiences for businesses and consumers, embracing the Web3 digital wave by integrating real-world assets with NFTs.

Mint Blockchain’s NIPs platform is a comprehensive NFT development suite that supports multiple NFT protocol standards (including ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-404, and ERC-7765). It offers a range of tools for contract deployment, minting, marketplace integration, and data indexing, aiming to lower the entry barrier for Web3 developers and businesses, allowing for easy contract deployment and new asset issuance. As a launchpad for NFT innovation, the NIPs platform simplifies NFT project development with core features like NIP Factory and NIP Tools, enabling custom protocol construction and providing unique tools such as NFT avatar creation, text engraving, and tweet minting, enriching user experiences in diverse NFT applications.

Additionally, the NIPs platform drives deeper integration between NFTs and DeFi, supporting innovative platforms like the meme NFT launch platform MintRich and the RWA NFT platform RareShop, continuously exploring NFT financialization pathways. Through its developer incentive program, the NIPs platform encourages the submission and testing of innovative protocols, supporting the ongoing growth of the NFT ecosystem and offering developers and users the potential of next-generation NFT assets.

Looking back at blockchain’s development history, each bull market has been accompanied by the emergence and explosive growth of a new type of crypto asset protocol standard. Mint Blockchain, acting as an “innovation factory” for NFTs, propels the advancement of NFT asset protocol standards, guiding and inspiring developers and creators worldwide to explore the future applications and market demands of NFTs. It is dedicated to unlocking the full potential of NFTs, allowing the market to choose and evolve, which ultimately leads to a valuable set of NFT protocol standards that gain widespread adoption, thereby realizing the market value of NFTs.

To encourage creators and developers in NFT protocol innovation, Mint Blockchain has launched creative initiatives, such as a global NIP Proposal Hackathon, where anyone can join the NIP idea event without coding skills, attracting a broad range of innovative ideas from diverse fields.

Besides offering a platform for developers to showcase their concepts, Mint Blockchain provides a substantial prize pool to further motivate participation. By partnering with prominent Web3 organizations and institutions, it aims to create an open ecosystem where developers can turn their visions for NFT applications into concrete projects. This incentive model not only boosts creator engagement but also brings fresh talent into the NFT ecosystem, advancing NFT development and adoption.

To enhance the security and autonomy of on-chain NFT assets, Mint Blockchain is actively building essential decentralized infrastructure. In Q4 2025, Mint plans to introduce a decentralized NFT indexer and distributed NFT metadata storage layer, aimed at optimizing data management for NFT assets. This upgrade will empower developers and users to access efficient, decentralized data services directly on-chain, strengthening the decentralization of NFT lifecycle management and minimizing potential risks associated with centralization.

As a crucial part of the ecosystem’s growth, the Mint team will provide detailed technical specifications and invite community contributions to accelerate the implementation and refinement of these core infrastructures, establishing a stronger foundation for the long-term development of NFTs.

Through a series of innovative mechanisms and tools, Mint Blockchain has not only addressed the current pain points in the NFT market but has also led the way for the development of on-chain NFTs. With the ERC-404 standard, decentralized governance mechanisms, and diverse incentives, Mint Blockchain has built a fairer, more transparent, and dynamic NFT ecosystem for creators, investors, and users. As Mint Blockchain continues to evolve, we can look forward to more innovative and socially engaging NFT use cases, along with broader community participation.
