Mint Chain, the NFT-focused Ethereum layer 2 built by data provider NFTScan, stopped accepting new applications on April 17, 2026 and keeps nothing open but a withdrawal portal. According to the operator, that portal closes on October 20, 2026. Anyone who has not withdrawn by then will, on the same statement, no longer be able to reach their balance. In practice your own cut-off falls earlier: the portal bundles withdrawal requests into weekly batches and quotes a range of up to ten days for funds to land on Ethereum. That makes October 10 the last day on which a request still arrives before October 20 even if the batch cycle runs against you.
That calculation is the whole point of this article, because it appears in none of the coverage. What was reported in April was the date. What has been left open ever since: whether October 20 refers to the request in the portal or to the arrival on Ethereum mainnet. As long as that is unresolved, a cautious holder assumes the second reading and moves their own deadline ten days forward.
