IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: MINTEREST IS SUNSETTING OPERATIONS
Dear Community,
After careful consideration of operational and market realities, we have made the difficult decision to sunset the Minterest protocol. We know this will be hard news for the entire community, as it is for the team.
From the beginning, this community has believed in a vision of fairer lending. Since the project’s restructuring in 2023, a smaller team has kept Minterest running, shipped new deployments across multiple chains, and pushed for product–market fit because we believed in the mission and the underlying technology.
We recently shared our capital challenges while exploring multiple PMF paths (new-chain alignments, stablecoin yield, and enterprise/RWA pilots) and funding options. Despite our best efforts over the last several months, we’re no longer in a position to continue operations that would provide adequate support to the community or to maintain the Minterest protocol professionally.
Given today’s constraints, a careful wind-down is the right step. The wind-down does not include any token issuance, distribution, or refund for CAE/LBP participants, private investors, or those impacted by the prior security-incident. We recognise this is not the outcome any party had hoped for.
What this means for protocol users
We will complete an orderly, wind-down of the Minterest protocol on 19 December 2025. Your deployed assets remain secure throughout this process.
If you are a current supplier or borrower on Ethereum or Mantle Network:
- Repay and withdraw your assets on the Minterest protocol by 19 December.
- Live until 19 Dec: 23:59 (UTC+00:00): Minterest App UI front end. (Ethereum & Mantle Network Only)
- Paused/removed: New supply/borrow is paused. The front end will go offline on 19 Dec (a simple contract-interaction guide will be available for use after).
- Preservation: Audits, changelogs, and code repositories will be archived.
- Guides & FAQs: We have published details on the Minterest Sunset Hub https://t.co/obRyE2lyem
We’ll also post periodic reminders so no one misses the sunset window.
To our community, investors, and partners
We know this has been a challenging journey. To everyone who believed in Minterest, including users of the Minterest protocol, private investors, CAE/LBP participants, ambassadors, ecosystem partners, advisers, and OG team members, we’re grateful for your support through the highs and lows.
Throughout our journey together, this community helped us deliver real progress:
- Solvency Engine - an industry-first liquidation protection model designed to minimise unfair liquidations
- Four Chain Deployments
- Top-3 TVL protocol on Mantle
- Hottest NFT collection on Mantle
- Recognition, grants, and performance awards totalling ~$1M.
- 20,000+ on-chain users
From the entire Minterest team: thank you. We share the frustration that this is where the journey ends, and we’re committed to making the transition as clear and smooth as possible.

With utmost appreciation to you all,
The Minterest Team

@davidpham855@Dagoraxyz@coin98_wallet@BuildOnViction Hi, Minterest's shutting down
The project won't support its token any longer & won't list it for public trading
Launching $MINTY in a challenged state wouldn't create value & might expose users to avoidable risks… 🤝 Please find more at https://t.co/bN0EH0Rh08
Thank you kindly
DeFi works best when design meets purpose.
Minterest on Mantle continues to deliver efficient markets for users to supply, borrow, and move capital with clarity.
Simple. Functional.

@wu67405 Hi, as outlined in our official sunset notice, the project is ceasing all operations and there are no remaining assets available for distribution to any party. We recognise this is disappointing. Full details are available here:
https://t.co/q5BGpVx0bP
@wu67405 Hi, we appreciate your questions
Due to the project's full shutdown, there won't be any ongoing support for $MINTY, as detailed in our links
Post wind-down, as operations cease without further distributions or other value-capture mechanisms, holding tokens carries no real purpose
@wu67405 We understand that question & your concerns for $MINTY's public listing, there'll be no token launch on exchanges
Please find more in this online documentation page ↓
https://t.co/bN0EH0Rh08
We also share vital info in our official links already shared 🤝
Thank you for checking
@wu67405 We recognise this isn't the outcome anyone wanted 🤝 our shutdown doesn't include any refunds, distribution or issuance of $MINTY tokens for early investors ⁄ private-sale participants
Please refer to @Minterest's official blog for full details, https://t.co/FKlzFNtMrU
Thank you
@wu67405 Thanks for asking
Our current tokenomics were updated last year: https://t.co/cGBb2dJQpn
We're sunsetting, our live apps will shut down on Dec 19, but smart contracts remain accessible
Please withdraw any assets before that deadline & find more details at https://t.co/XX7kMkB40D
Two Week Reminder: Minterest Wind Down

@NikeHide286698 Hi, we appreciate your patience since then
We keep pushing for product-market fit targets & meaningful partnerships to launch successfully
For now, no TGE plans are confirmed. You may find the latest updates in the Q4 AMA recap here

Thanks for your time 🙏
We started with an idea that DeFi could reach those who are yet uncovered, reward those who make it work.
✨ Today, that idea lives on Mantle, where Minterest continues to build quietly, block by block.
Steady growth, real users, lasting design https://t.co/4xbypaT754
