### Minting Powerups is Simple!&#x20;

\
You do need to to have some $MOOLAH in you wallet before getting started so make sure you check check out our [guide](getting-started/how-to-buy-usdmoolah) and grab some on Pancakeswap first! \
\


#### MINTING COST

Minting new POWERUP NFTs requires you to burn **$MOOLAH.** The mint cost is always listed above the mint button and is based on a Bonding Curve. Each time a new POWERUP is minted the price of the next POWERUP increases slightly. This does two things, rewards early users & helps to control inflation.\


_Bonding Curve Logic_

```
uint increase = amount.div(100000).mul(curveValue.mul(100));
mintCost = mintCost.add(increase);
```
