Why Minos

Minos was a king of Crete, and in the Greek stories he was remembered as a lawgiver. After his death he sat in the underworld as a judge of the dead, weighing what each life had actually done. Nothing passed him on a claim. Everything was weighed.

Minos also kept the Labyrinth, the maze Daedalus built to hold the Minotaur. Athens owed Crete a tribute for a lost war: seven young men and seven young women, sent into the maze. That old count is why the MINOS PASS stops at 707. Seven, zero, seven.

One year, Theseus went in as one of the seven. Ariadne gave him a ball of thread to mark his path through the maze, and he walked back out by it. The maze was never the point. Finding the way through was.

We took the court, not the monster. A token on Minos does not buy its way into the open market, and it does not talk its way in either. It walks the curve, and the court weighs what the market did: 150 HYPE raised in full, or no graduation. The verdict is the graduation. That is the whole story, and it is also the whole product.
