**Director, Brand & Business Partnerships of Minted  — Matt Wan
**
I'm the Director for Brand & Business Partnerships at Minted. On a day-to-day basis, I work closely with all of our various external stakeholders, from partners to creators to community members to help advance our mission at Minted. I also work closely with our product team to share feedback and to meet the needs of stakeholders to shape the product development roadmap. And just for fun as a personal fact about me, I love the outdoors and have recently been taking lessons to try to learn wing foiling—which is a water sport that's kinda a cross between kitesurfing and windsurfing.
## Q&A from Gate.io
### Q1: Can you please tell us what is Minted?
**Matt**: It's relatively pretty straightforward—Minted (minted.network) is a decentralized NFT platform, native to both the Ethereum and Cronos chains. And we aspire to be the digital bazaar of wonders for everyone to discover, trade, and find NFT gems. We have a highly polished and safe end-user experience, and we are constantly iterating based on the feedback of our community and partners.

### Q2: Could you also please tell us a bit more about the team behind Minted?

**Matt**: We have a team of exceptionally talented and hardworking individuals, all with an obsession for NFTs and for realizing our goal of building a web3 digital bazaar of wonders. From our product managers to our designers to our community managers, everyone is striving to give our users the best product that we can. Minted was incubated by Cronos Labs, so we definitely have to thank the team over at Cronos Labs for their support as well. Also notable is that we have a commercial partnership with Crypto.com NFT to help further extend our reach and audience.
 
### Q3: We have known different NFT Platform in this space, what makes Minted different?
**Matt**: First, as mentioned before, we do very much focus on that highly polished and safe end-user experience. On the safety aspect, all Minted contracts are fully audited, and we also take an allowlist approach when it comes to listing collections. 
 
Next, we are able to tap into the broader #CROfam ecosystem, which consists of Cronos and Crypto.com users, which represents 50m+ people. Our commercial partnership with Crypto.com NFT is also quite key, as it allows us to have access to certain opportunities that we wouldn't be able to have otherwise.
 
Next, we also have strong partnerships with other dapps on Cronos, for example, with VVS.

Lastly, we aim to have a very rewarding experience for users on Minted. This means that users can earn $MTD token rewards via listing rewards, $MTD vaults, as well as trading rewards (coming soon).
 
### Q4: What are your plans for the $MTD token?
**Matt**: Happy to share more about that! First, I do want to direct everyone to our lightpaper for the latest official information on the token. But I do also want to share with you guys our thoughts at a high-level going forward. 
 
First, we plan to use $MTD as a way to "give back" to loyal users of Minted, through staking for revenue share-back, listing rewards, and trading rewards.
 
Next, we will use $MTD for governance functions more and more in the future. For now, most decisions are being taken by our core team, but as the project matures, more and more decisions will be made available to our community.

Lastly, we will use $MTD for other utilities. However, on this front, nothing is confirmed 100% yet, but our team is actively exploring different potential uses (e.g., using $MTD to purchase NFTs)
