About MintLane
MintLane is a marketplace for digital products where the payment goes straight from the buyer's wallet to the seller's. No balance to withdraw, no payout schedule, no cut taken on the way through.
The currency
A marketplace has to agree with itself about what a price means. If a $10 product is quoted in something that moves, then the amount a buyer sends and the amount a seller expected are two different numbers by the time the transfer confirms, and somebody has to absorb the difference.
USDC does not move. Ten dollars is ten dollars when you click buy and ten dollars when it lands, so MintLane can check that the exact amount arrived and unlock the file on that basis alone. That single property is what lets the whole system work without holding your money as a buffer.
Base is where it settles because the numbers there are small enough to stop mattering. A payment confirms in a few seconds and the network fee is a fraction of a cent, which means a $3 product is worth selling.

Custody
Non-custodial is a word that gets used loosely. Here is exactly what it means here, in terms you can check.
When someone buys your product, their wallet sends USDC directly to the payout address you set. It does not pass through an account belonging to MintLane, because there is no such account. There is nowhere on this site to see a balance, request a withdrawal or wait for a payout run, and that is not a feature we have yet to build. It is the absence of one we deliberately never built.
What MintLane actually does is watch the chain. When a transfer arrives at the seller's address for the exact amount the buyer was quoted, the download unlocks. That is the whole mechanism.
Your keys, your payout
You give us an address to display, not access to it. Nothing here can move funds out of your wallet.
Nothing to run off with
An exchange can lose your deposit because it holds it. There is no deposit here to lose.
You can verify it
Every payment is a public transaction. Look up your own address on a block explorer and see it arrive.
The honest trade-off: because payments are final and go straight to the seller, MintLane cannot reverse one. There are no chargebacks in either direction, which is exactly why the fee can be nothing.
Why sell here
The platform cut is 0%. A $10 sale pays you $10, minus a network fee measured in fractions of a cent.
No 14-day hold, no minimum payout threshold, no waiting for a Friday. The money is in your wallet before the buyer has finished downloading.
A card payment can be reversed months later, after the file has been downloaded. This one cannot be.
There is no account holding your earnings, so there is no account that can be frozen with your earnings inside it.
Who made it
MintLane is the work of a single developer, @TroyQ3. Every part of it, the payment verification, the design, the wording on this page, came from one desk.
That is worth saying plainly rather than hiding behind a "we". It means there is no support department and no roadmap committee, and it also means the person who reads your bug report is the person who can fix it that afternoon. If something here is broken or wrong, saying so reaches the one who built it.
Everything above is free to read. If it was useful, the long version is for sale, and every sale goes straight back into building MintLane.
