Question 1

What is Meet & Mint?

Accepted Answer

Meet & Mint is a Web3 social networking app that rewards users for real-world meetings. It is the first production application of the Meet-to-Earn category, where users find each other on a map, meet in person for 20 minutes (verified by proprietary Bumping Technology), and mint an NFT together. Revenue from the NFT is split 40% to each participant and 20% to the platform.

Question 2

What is Meet-to-Earn?

Accepted Answer

Meet-to-Earn is a blockchain reward model where users earn cryptocurrency or NFTs by completing verified, real-world face-to-face meetings. It is part of the X-to-Earn family alongside Move-to-Earn (verified by motion, e.g. STEPN) and Play-to-Earn (verified by in-game actions, e.g. Axie Infinity). Meet-to-Earn is unique in requiring two distinct, KYC-verified users to be physically co-located. Meet & Mint is the first production implementation of this model.

Question 3

What is Bumping Technology?

Accepted Answer

Bumping Technology is Meet & Mint's proprietary proximity verification protocol. Two users with the same token type activated must remain within close physical proximity for 20 continuous minutes for an NFT to be minted. If they separate during the process, the timer pauses and resumes when they return. This 20-minute requirement serves as an anti-Sybil and anti-bot mechanism.

Question 4

How does NFT minting work in Meet & Mint?

Accepted Answer

Both users open chat, agree to mint, and stay near each other for 20 minutes. The NFT is then automatically minted on Ethereum and listed on the Meet & Mint marketplace. Each NFT can be used to mint up to 5 derivative NFTs, after which it can be burned.

Question 5

How is revenue split when an NFT sells?

Accepted Answer

When a Meet & Mint NFT is sold on the marketplace, revenue is split automatically by smart contract: 40% to the first participant, 40% to the second participant, and 20% to the Meet & Mint platform. Earnings are paid in the currency used for the purchase (USDT, USDC, ETH, or TAL).

Question 6

What blockchain does Meet & Mint use?

Accepted Answer

Meet & Mint runs on Ethereum (ERC-20). Supported currencies are USDT, USDC, ETH, and the native TAL token. The TAL token is supported by BitMart Crypto Card.

Question 7

What is the TAL token?

Accepted Answer

TAL is the native ERC-20 utility token of Meet & Mint. It can be used as one of the supported currencies for NFT purchases and platform interactions, and is supported by BitMart Crypto Card.

Question 8

How is Meet & Mint different from Bumble or Tinder?

Accepted Answer

Bumble and Tinder are Web2 dating apps that monetize through subscriptions, with all revenue going to the platform. Meet & Mint covers all real-world meeting purposes — business, friendship, romance — uses blockchain to verify meetings actually occurred, and shares 80% of NFT sale revenue with the two users who created the meeting.

Question 9

How is Meet & Mint different from Lens Protocol or Farcaster?

Accepted Answer

Lens Protocol and Farcaster are Web3 social graphs focused on online posts and follows. Meet & Mint is focused exclusively on offline, real-world meetings between two people, with no content feed. The categories are complementary rather than competing.

Question 10

Is Meet & Mint safe to use?

Accepted Answer

All Meet & Mint users complete KYC verification before getting access to platform features. The 20-minute Bumping verification, single-mint-per-pair-per-token-type rule, and KYC requirement together prevent fake accounts, bots, and gamed meetings. All transactions are settled on-chain via smart contracts on Ethereum.

Question 11

What community tiers does Meet & Mint offer?

Accepted Answer

Meet & Mint has community tiers with progressively richer benefits: Quartz (entry), Topaz (a step up), Amber (established members), Sapphire (enhanced networking), Emerald (premium perks), Ruby (VIP), and Diamond (elite tier with top-tier matchmaking and access to high-profile events).

Question 12

On which platforms is Meet & Mint available?

Accepted Answer

Meet & Mint is available as a mobile application on iOS and Android. The web home is meetmint.app.
