Quick answers to the questions people ask most. Each links to the page with the full details.
General
What is MSS2?
MintStakeShare 2 is a token you can mint, stake and share on Robinhood and Arc. See the overview.
Is MSS2 the same as the original MSS?
No. MSS Classic, the original on BNB Chain and Base, is a separate token and remains at old.mintstakeshare.com. MSS2 is a new token with new contracts, and has no taxes or NFTs.
When does it open?
Minting and trading open at 3 Oct 2026, 18:00 UTC on both chains. Until contracts are deployed this is provisional; after that, the time recorded on-chain controls.
Which chain should I use?
Use Robinhood if you hold ETH there, or Arc if you hold USDC there. They are separate economies with their own prices and stakes. See Getting started.
Minting
How much does it cost to mint?
The first million MSS2 costs 0.5 ETH on Robinhood and 1,500 USDC on Arc. Each following million costs 25% more. See Minting.
Why can't I claim right away?
Mints are claimable one block after the request. That is usually seconds. Open Activity and select Claim mint.
Why did my mint get fewer tokens than the quote?
Another mint landed first and moved the price into a higher tier. Your payment stays the same. Turn off Accept any amount to set a minimum you'll accept.
Why was my amount refused while minting is open?
Either it exceeds the 1,000,000-token or payment limit for one mint, or the pool price is far below the mint price and the liquidity safeguard applies. See Minting.
Can I get a refund?
No. A mint that fails takes no payment, and a mint that succeeds is final.
Staking
Can I unstake?
No. Staking is permanent. You can collect rewards every day, but the stake itself can never be withdrawn. See Staking.
Should I collect or compound?
Collecting pays 0.75% of your stake a day to your wallet. Compounding adds 1.5% a day to your stake. Both use the same rewards, so you choose one each time. It depends on whether you want tokens to use now or a larger permanent stake.
What happens if I don't act for a while?
Rewards stop growing 7 days after you last collected or compounded. You keep what you earned in those 7 days. Gifts and new deposits don't restart the clock; collecting or compounding does.
Is there a limit on how much I can stake?
Yes, 25,000,000 MSS2 per wallet per chain. Anything over the cap stays in your wallet, and you can still collect.
Referrals
How do I earn from referrals?
Share your link from Share & earn. You earn 5%, 2.5% and 1.25% of mint payments across three levels in ETH or USDC, plus a 5% stake credit when your direct referrals stake. See Referrals.
Does the stake credit cost my referral anything?
No. It is newly issued MSS2 added to your stake. They keep everything they staked.
Can I change my referrer?
Before your first mint, stake or Buy & stake on a chain, yes: change or clear it on the Mint page. After that, it is permanent on that chain.
Do referral rewards come from buying on Topaz?
Mint rewards do not; they come only from mints. The 5% stake credit does apply to Buy & stake, once your referral has a referrer recorded on that chain.
Bridging
Can I bridge my stake?
No. Only MSS2 in your wallet can bridge. Stakes, rewards, pending mints and referrals stay on their chain. See Bridging.
Why did a tiny amount stay behind?
The bridge carries 6 decimal places. Anything smaller stays in your wallet.
Safety
Are the contracts audited?
No. The MSS2 contracts have not been independently audited. See Contracts and controls.
Can the team change the rules?
Mint prices, referral rates and the liquidity share are fixed in contracts that cannot be upgraded. The staking contract is upgradeable, so it can be improved and refined over time if the need arises. See Contracts and controls.
Can the liquidity be pulled?
No. The liquidity position is held by a vault with no withdrawal function. See Liquidity.
Is there a tax on trading?
No. MSS2 has no buy, sell or transfer tax. Trades pay a 3% pool fee, all reinvested into MSS2's locked liquidity, plus gas.
