What is MINDOL

If you are a fan of amine movies, you'll find MINDOL's website adorable as it is full of kawaii anime-style characters. The project aims to revitalize the Japanese subculture and promote the idea of "Cool Japan" on a global scale within the framework of the national strategy to reconstruct the economy. MINDOL token allows the holders to participate in content creation by voting, donations and supporting their favorite projects.

According to the project's White Paper:

MINDOL Project will be creating new content in the fields of "Cool Japant" - subculture and pop cultures such as animation, movies, games, cartoons, and music. In addition, we will manage and operate the project safely and securely, using blockchain technology.

The team carried out a token sale in 2018 and held several music and anime festival events in 2019.

On November 18, Bibox announced MINDOl listing. The news supported the upside momentum that has started at the beginning of November. While the true reasons for the coin's spectacular growth remain unknown, such sharp movements of illiquid assets are often caused by so-called pump-and-dump schemes. It means that traders should be cautious with this coin.
