It has already been launched and integrated into the Mint Blockchain mainnet for development and application.The core innovation of ERC-7765 lies in allowing holders to exercise rights associated with specific NFTs. This is achieved through the exercisePrivilege function, which enables the NFT holder (or a designated party) to perform actions such as redeeming real-world products or accessing services.Additionally, the protocol introduces two important checking functions — isExercisable and isExercised—that allow users and developers to verify whether specific rights associated with an NFT can be exercised or have already been exercised.Furthermore, ERC-7765 supports binding rights to NFTs. Through the getPrivilegeIds function, users can query the rights associated with any given NFT. Lastly, ERC-7765 also supports querying the metadata of these rights. Similar to how ERC-721 provides metadata for NFTs, ERC-7765 introduces metadata for the rights associated with tokens. This includes details such as the name, description, and related resources of the rights, helping users understand the specific content of each right.ERC7765 Related information:ERC-7765 Proposal: <a href="https://github.com/Mint-Blockchain/ERCs/blob/master/ERCS/erc-7765.md" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://github.com/Mint-Blockchain/ERCs/blob/master/ERCS/erc-7765.md</a>Understanding ERC-7765: <a href="https://github.com/Mint-Blockchain/EIP-7765-example/blob/main/Understanding%20ERC-7765.md" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://github.com/Mint-Blockchain/EIP-7765-example/blob/main/Understanding ERC-7765.md</a>ERC-7765 Reference Implementation: <a href="https://github.com/Mint-Blockchain/EIP-7765-example/blob/main/src/example/ERC7765Example.sol" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://github.com/Mint-Blockchain/EIP-7765-example/blob/main/src/example/ERC7765Example.sol</a>7. <a href="https://www.mintchain.io/nips" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NIPs Platform</a><img src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*P3VO5uPuzjvySDJ9yvpUDg.png" />NIPs Platform is an NFT development platform launched by the Mint Blockchain development team, supporting multiple innovative NFT asset protocol standards, including ERC721, ERC1155, ERC404, and ERC7765, as well as various NFT infrastructure tools such as NFT deployment tools, NFT minting tools, NFT Launchpad, NFT Marketplace, and NFT data indexing.Web3 developers and users can leverage the NIPs Platform’s low-barrier access to deploy NFT asset contracts and issue new assets.By driving and supporting innovation in NFT asset protocol standards, Mint Blockchain aims to become Ethereum’s leading platform in the NFT space, bringing NFTs back to the Ethereum ecosystem.<h2 id="header-2">Mint Developer Incentive Mechanism Overview</h2>Mint Blockchain has long been committed to the development of the NFT ecosystem, connecting global consumer users with NFTs and building the largest global NFT consumer payment network and user community.

They will earn an annual mining reward of 15% in MINT tokens, provided by MintDAO. The APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is set by the MintDAO organization and is adjusted annually, with the APR for 2025 set at 15%.About Restaking: Users can combine sMINT to mint BC404-Mint NFT assets. Holders of the BC404-Mint NFT will receive 50% of the ETH rewards from the Mint Blockchain network’s sorter gas fees. It is expected that the Mint network will provide an annual return of 6% in ETH for BC404-Mint NFT holders.BC404 NFT Features: As the NFT ID number increases, the token content in the ERC404 NFT changes according to the bonding curve, generally following an upward curve. During the process of converting sMINT into BC404-Mint NFT assets, Mint’s self-developed bonding curve is applied, making the entire BC404 NFT minting process more competitive and engaging.About Staking Nodes: The Staking Node community is the foundational infrastructure builder and core driver of Mint Network’s ecosystem development. Staking Nodes are mainly composed of blockchain infrastructure developers, crypto investment institutions, and Mint’s global crypto community. The first batch of members includes NFTScan, ZAN, InfStones, Antalpha, DFG, SNZ, MintFans, and others.Staking Node participants are required to run a node server with specified service configurations, ensuring long-term stable operation. During this process, Staking Node operators can attract users to stake $MINT through their own nodes, earning a 10% service fee from users’ MINT staking rewards.<img src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*wve41EguQGe6fRBbr6wJUA.png" />Based on data from the Mint blockchain, it is estimated that during the early stages of Mint Network’s development, the combined annual yield from $MINT token Staking and Restaking will fluctuate between 20% and 30%, which will attract significant Smart Money inflows. As the Mint ecosystem grows, the network’s sorter rewards will continue to increase, leading to a rise in these yields. Meanwhile, the native $MINT token will also experience value accumulation and price discovery.<h2 id="header-4">Mint Blockchain Development Roadmap</h2>Q1 2025: Release the $MINT token economic model to the community and launch a community airdrop event &amp; TGE (Token Generation Event).Q2 2025: Launch the $MINT Staking &amp; Restaking protocols, distributing ETH rewards from Mint network validators to $MINT holders and the community in a decentralized manner.Q3 2025: Introduce the “Innovate to Earn” ecosystem incentive mechanism, encouraging developers to innovate within the Mint ecosystem.Q4 2025: Mint Blockchain will launch Mint Ecosystem’s super application: Mint App, providing a one-stop mobile crypto service for global consumers.<h2 id="header-5">Mint Blockchain Vision</h2>Connect global consumers through NFTs, allowing everyone to own NFT assets, and build a decentralized consumer payment network where value and trust flow freely on the blockchain. &#x1f340;
