## One-Year Minting Milestone Reached The Datamine Network has reached a major decentralized milestone: 146 unique addresses have successfully minted FLUX for a full year after starting their initial mint. This milestone spans both the Layer 1 FLUX and Layer 2 ArbiFLUX ecosystems, highlighting the dedication of the network's long-term validators. ## Sustained Decentralized Participation Unlike traditional DeFi protocols that rely on temporary liquidity incentives, the Datamine monetary system rewards long-term commitment. Validators lock DAM on Layer 1 to generate FLUX, which can then be bridged to Layer 2 (Arbitrum) and locked further to mint ArbiFLUX. The achievement of 146 year-long active minters underscores the robust organic demand and stability built into the Datamine smart contract architecture over its five-year history.
