MintDrop

A daily spin-to-earn Farcaster mini-app. Hold $MT, spin daily, win $MT-backed token rewards.

The bet

A low-friction daily raffle as a new-user acquisition funnel for Mint Club: players had to trade their won / airdropped tokens on Mint Club, pulling Base + Farcaster users into the ecosystem ("the more $MT you hold, the higher your win range").

What worked

By day 68 (~2 months): 176,772 spins = 176,772 onchain Base transactions, $18,222 of $MT paid out to spinners (~$0.1031/spin), and 79 $MT child tokens created organically. Most importantly it pushed the Mint Club app to #1 overall on Farcaster and the Base app, sustained for a long stretch (the user-acquisition goal, achieved).

What broke

Built as an acquisition engine for Mint Club rather than an end in itself. Once it had driven that growth (and the #1 ranking), it was wound down.

What it seeded

Proved the daily-engagement reward loop and the Farcaster Mini App channel as a powerful top-of-funnel for Mint Club.
