A general-purpose EVM-compatible Ethereum Layer 2 using ETH for gas, delivering high throughput and ultra-low fees for mainstream consumer applications.
Mint is an EVM-compatible Ethereum Layer 2 mainnet that uses ETH as the native gas token, purpose-built for consumer-grade dApps. Primary use cases include NFT and loyalty minting, gaming, micro‑payments, and cross‑chain asset transfers via standard bridges. Developers deploy Solidity contracts while users benefit from low fees and fast confirmations suitable for high‑frequency activity.
Mint stands out with an ETH‑denominated UX on an EVM L2 and a consumer‑focused stack for NFTs/loyalty, while remaining fully compatible with Ethereum tooling and wallets. Live performance metrics—average gas per transaction, block speed, TPS peaks, and daily activity—are published via https://www.mintchain.io and fall into the low‑fee, seconds‑level confirmation range typical of modern ETH L2s. This makes Mint attractive for apps that need high throughput and predictable, low‑cost transactions without introducing a new gas token.
Mint uses ETH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ETH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge ETH to Mint, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Mint as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Mint you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Mint to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send ETH on Mint, ensure your wallet is connected to the Mint network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of ETH to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
