Is Mintd live?+

Mintd is opening through Melbourne early access. First access runs through Discord, direct invites, and shop conversations.

What does protected pickup mean?+

The buyer pays through Mintd, pickup details stay in the transaction, the seller presents a one-time QR, and the handoff gets proof attached to the deal.

What does it cost?+

Buyers see checkout costs before payment. Seller payout is based on the listed sale price, and payout status is visible in the app.

Does Mintd ship cards?+

Not yet. Mintd is pickup-first so early users can inspect cards in person and keep the handoff proof simple.
