If you thought DePIN was just for WiFi and weather sensors, think again. Minutes Network Token (MNT) is here to make your phone calls as degen as your yield farming—and it’s already plugged into 400+ carriers, including Skype, Lebara, and Lyca Mobile.
🧠 TL;DR for Degens:
- MNT is DePIN for telecom—a decentralized voice network that routes calls through blockchain nodes.
- 3,000 nodes are already staked, splitting 70% of all net revenues.
- 1.2 billion users are being onboarded via Smart Energy Water (SEW) and the MRGL tech stack.
- Every call earns MNT—both caller and receiver get paid.
- $250B+ market ripe for disruption—and MNT is going full throttle.
🚀 The DePIN That Pays You to Talk
MNT is flipping the $250B wholesale voice market on its head by letting anyone run a node and earn from global call traffic. Their DePIN model routes calls through blockchain infrastructure, cutting out legacy telecom bloat and redistributing the value to node operators and users.
Node operators can earn from three reward streams:
- 10% for node stakers.
- 60% for node and MNT stakers (subject to algorithmic burn).
- 37.5 million MNT allocated to early node stakers over the first 24 months.
With 3,000 nodes already staked, the network is fully operational and rewarding participants.
📞 Calls That Print Tokens
Every call on the Minutes Network earns MNT for both the caller and the receiver. This model introduces millions to blockchain passively, as users earn tokens simply by making and receiving calls.
🌐 Scaling to 1.2B Users with SEW
Through a partnership with Smart Energy Water (SEW), Minutes Network is set to onboard 1.2 billion users over the next 24 months. The integration of the Minutes Network SDK into SEW’s ecosystem and marketplace transforms the scale, reach, and revenue potential of the network.
🧬 Tokenomics with Built-in Degen Defense
MNT has a capped supply of 500 million tokens, with a 60-month algorithmic release schedule to prevent early dumps. The founders’ tokens are also subject to this release schedule, ensuring long-term commitment. Additionally, a capital efficiency decay protects stakers from aggressive over-staking, and ongoing burn mechanisms help maintain token value.
🛠️ How to Get In
While all 3,000 DePIN nodes are currently staked, you can still participate by staking to a public node. This allows you to earn rewards and be part of the network’s growth.
