MintyDAO Integrates Chainlink Automation to Help Distribute Token Emissions to LPs

We’re excited to announce that MintyDAO — an all-inclusive NFT, ENS, and DeFi protocol — has integrated Chainlink Automation live on the Ethereum mainnet. We are leveraging Chainlink Automation to securely and cost-efficiently trigger our mint function and distribute native token yield to liquidity pools on the MintyDAO DEX. Ultimately this gives users high assurances that providing liquidity to DEX pools consistently returns the expected yield from the MintyDAO protocol.

We decided to use Chainlink Automation to help power MintyDAO’s mint and distribution function because of its proven reliability and low execution cost. The time-tested infrastructure of Chainlink helps ensure that every mint is executed on time in a trust-minimized manner, giving users additional guarantees that it will function exactly as intended.

MintyDAO is an ENS competitor that aims to solve the problem of rampant domain name squatting. The protocol also offers a similar solution for NFT royalties using the popular Harberger Fees proposal that aligns projects and holders by ensuring artists earn royalties for their work. Lastly, MintyDAO has a DeFi suite where it offers APY for liquidity pools in its Solidly fork on Ethereum through native token emissions. MintyDAO members can vote on both APY emissions and treasury allocation, while MintyDAO builds its on-chain treasury using a mechanism called MintBonus.

While several of the above functions can benefit from Chainlink Automation, we started with weekly token emissions to stables and other pools that have been integrated to help ensure timely and decentralized execution of the mint function.

Beyond that, we anticipate thousands, or even millions, of ways that Chainlink Automation nodes can help monitor and execute functions in the MintyDAO protocol. For example, the payment of fees for NFT holders for collections launched with MintyDAO, paying Harberger Fees, and covering recurring fees on every Minty domain.

Chainlink Automation is a decentralized service purpose-built to manage tasks on behalf of smart contracts. Chainlink Automation leverages decentralized, hyper-reliable, and economically incentivized automation nodes to wake up smart contracts when they need to perform critical on-chain functions, which usually take place at regular time intervals (e.g., every day at the same time) or based on external events (e.g., when an asset hits a specific price).

Some of the notable features of Chainlink Automation include:

• Highly reliable, performant, and decentralized automation — Chainlink Automation ensures transactions are identified and confirmed quickly even during periods of heavy network congestion by leveraging Chainlink’s battle-tested transaction manager.
• Time-tested infrastructure that helps save costs — Chainlink Automation enables us to eliminate in-house automation infrastructure costs, reduce resources spent on DevOps, and increase speed and efficiency.
• Built to enable faster scaling — Chainlink Automation enables us to scale faster and avoid the challenges that come with building and maintaining the infrastructure needed to reliably automate across multiple chains.
• Unlocks new use cases — With smart contract automation, we’re able to explore new use cases and unlock capabilities that would otherwise not have been possible.

MintyDAO aims to integrate even more Chainlink services, including for our planned Augur-like predictions market. Users can create predictions not only on DEX conditions, but also for anything with a Chainlink Price Feed, such as NFT floor prices and asset prices.

“We selected Chainlink Automation because it’s the best service available for reliable, secure, and decentralized contract execution. MintyDAO is creating a better domain system for the Web3 ecosystem, and that means using the best infrastructure there is on the market.” — MintyDaoist, Founder of MintyDAO.

About MintyDAO

MintyDAO is a NFT, ENS, and DeFi protocol launching a new decentralized domain names and NFT standard that ensures royalties for artists. MINTS tokens earn from revenues and are used for NFT and ENS minting behind the scenes, seamlessly for users. MintyDAO has its own Solidly DEX fork on Ethereum with DAO treasury voting, stable pools, and other APY emissions.

MintyDAO Integrates Chainlink Automation to Power guaranteed stable pools APY emissions

We’re excited to announce that MintyDAO — NFT & ENS DeFi protocol — has integrated Chainlink Automation live on the Ethereum mainnet. We are leveraging Chainlink Automation to securely and cost-efficiently trigger our mint function. As a result, APY emissions to our stablecoin pools is enssured.

We decided to use Chainlink Automation to power MintyDAO’s mint function because it is the most reliable Web3 automation service. The Chainlink Automation Network is operated by the same pool of time-tested, provably reliable node operators that currently help secure tens of billions of dollars in DeFi, even during record levels of network congestion and extreme volatility. The proven infrastructure of Chainlink helps ensure that every mint is executed on-time in a trust-minimized manner, giving users additional guarantees that it will function exactly as intended.

MintyDAO will compete with ENS by launching Vitalik Buter’s proposed fix to the domain names public goods system using recurring demand-based fees to reduce squatters’ negative value . MintyDAO offers a similar solution for NFT royalties using the popular Harberger Fees proposal that aligns projects and holders by ensuring artists earn royalties for their work. MintyDAO has a DeFi suite by which it offers APY for stable pools in its Solidly fork on Ethereum in the form of MINTS tokens. MintyDAO allows for voting not only on APY emissions but also on treasury allocation. MintyDAO builds its onchain treasury using a price-increasing mechanism (opposite to DeFi 2.0 bonds) via its MintBonus.

Several of the above functions can benefit from Chainlink Keepers. Firstly, weekly APY MINTS emissions to stables and other pools have been integrated to ensure timely and decentralized execution of the mint function. Beyond that, there could be thousands or even millions of Keepers needed to monitor & execute the payment of fees for every single NFT holder of every NFT collection launched with MintyDAO, paying Harberger Fees, and likewise to pay recurring fees on every Minty domain.

MintyDAO has even more future use for Chainlink products, such as for its Augur-like predictions market. Users can create many predictions not only on DEX conditions, but also for anything with a Chainlink pricefeed, from NFT floor prices to stocks & sports results. Many Keepers can again be used to ensure timely contract execution to finalize results upon the end dates of all such predictions.
