# Minting Drop

The Minting Drop is Qzino’s token distribution mechanism designed to reward real, active players. Instead of a traditional airdrop, where tokens are often captured by non-engaged wallets, Qzino introduces a play-driven minting model focused exclusively on platform activity.

Only users who actively generate wagering volume on the platform can participate in the Minting Drop, ensuring that token distribution reflects genuine contribution to the ecosystem.

**How the Minting Drop Works**

Participation in the Minting Drop is directly tied to wagering activity on Qzino. When users place bets and generate wager across supported products, they earn Minting Points.

These points represent a user’s contribution during the minting period and will be converted into Qzino’s native tokens at the Token Generation Event (TGE).

**The only requirement to participate in the Minting Drop is generating wager on the Qzino platform.**
{% endhint %}

Minting Points are credited immediately after wager is generated. As soon as a user places a bet, points are added to their balance based on the current minting phase and conversion rate. The rate may change over time as the minting progresses through different phases.

**Minting Phases & Pricing**

The Minting Drop is divided into four mining phases. With each new phase, the cost of minting points increases - rewarding early participants and encouraging sustained engagement.

**Each new phase increases the minting price by 20%**
{% endhint %}

During phase 1, Minting Points are generated according to the following rates:

* In-House Games: $1 wager = 10 points
* Slots: $1 wager = 13.33 points
* Sportsbook: $1 wager = 40 points 

**Why Minting Points Matters**

Points are more than just a tracking metric - they are your gateway into the Qzino ecosystem.

By generating wager on the platform and minting points, users become eligible to receive QZI tokens during the Token Generation Event (TGE). The more points a user accumulates during the Minting Drop, the larger their potential allocation of QZI tokens at TGE.

QZI is Qzino’s native ecosystem token. Holding QZI tokens on the platform unlocks access to Qzino’s profit-sharing model, where a portion of the platform’s revenue is distributed to token holders. This means users are not only rewarded for early participation, but can also benefit from the platform’s long-term performance.

The Minting Drop is designed to reward users who actively support Qzino from the start - aligning gameplay, ownership, and long-term value within a single system.
