mintrr notes
Notes from the build
Short posts on what mintrr builds, what it refuses, and how it works. Results are declared as run on the Arc test network, for safety.
What people are looking for
- What decisions do I need to make before launching a token for my business?
- Does a valid token plan mean my smart contract is ready to deploy?
- Did mintrr actually run a business on chain, and what does that prove?
- How do players check a casino game was fair after the hand is over?
- Who holds what power in a mintrr stablecoin, and why is it split five ways?
- What does a live testnet run catch that thousands of passing tests miss?
- Why does Arc report USDC as 6 decimals for the token but 18 for gas?
- What does it mean that mintrr tools never sign a transaction?
- Is mintrr audited, and what does "verified" actually mean?

The decisions to make before you launch a token
Turn a vague token idea into a clear brief about supply, restrictions, control and the evidence you need before launch.

What a token plan preview actually tells you
A valid token plan is a useful checkpoint, not a deployment result. Learn what to review before moving from settings to code and chain state.

What the Arc casino run proved, and what it did not
Real contracts on the Arc test network, five authorities asserted on chain. What the run proved, and the longer list of what it did not.

How commit-reveal makes a game outcome checkable after the fact
Each hand commits first and reveals after, against a block that did not exist at commit time. Anyone can recompute any outcome.

Five authorities hold the money, and the owner cannot mint
Five separate authorities share the money layer, enforced on chain. The owner key administers but cannot mint a single token.

Fourteen defects a live run found that a green test suite did not
The suite was green and the live run still broke fourteen times. Each defect, each fix, and what only the network can teach.

Why Arc gas is 18 decimals and the USDC token is 6
On Arc the gas token is USDC, but gas is counted in 18 decimals and the token in 6. That one fact breaks naive tooling by a factor of a trillion.

What no tool signing actually means
Non-custodial is easy to say and easy to fake. Here is the specific capability that has to be absent for the claim to be true, and how we check it stays absent.

Verified is not audited
Audited is a legal word with a liability attached. mintrr claims something narrower, and this post says exactly how narrow that claim is.
