7.5 How to Earn EVT (BIND & Excavation)

This page explains the step-by-step flow for earning EVT. It’s designed to answer two questions as quickly as possible: “What do I need to do to excavate EVT?” and “When does excavation start?”

---

What you’ll learn on this page

• The fastest way to start earning EVT

• What happens after you meet the conditions (approval & cooldown)

• How the Econ / EVT choice works when you BIND

---

1) What is BIND?

BIND is the system that links your check-in information with payment data.

In other words, it turns the action of:

“I actually paid at this store”

into game progression (earning tokens and advancing growth).

EVT is excavated through this BIND action.

---

2) Eligible stages for earning EVT

You can excavate EVT only if your MANEKINEKO has reached Mini or later.

• Pod: not eligible

• Mini / Prime: eligible

This follows the current game specification.

---

3) Choosing rewards on BIND (Econ or EVT)

When you execute a BIND, you can choose to receive either:

• Econ

• EVT

However, selecting EVT requires meeting additional conditions.

If those conditions are not met, Econ will be granted automatically. (This behavior follows the current specification.)

---

4) EVT excavation requirements (based on in-app rules)

To unlock EVT excavation for a store, you must meet the following conditions at that store:

• Cumulative spending of $20 or more at the same store

• Two or more payments + BIND using the same card (same payment method) at the same store

• After meeting the conditions, approval takes 24 hours

Once approval is completed, EVT excavation becomes available at that store.

---

5) Cooldown (waiting period after excavation)

After you become eligible to excavate EVT:

• A 24-hour cooldown applies after excavation

Once the cooldown ends, you can earn EVT again by performing Check-in + BIND at the same store.

---

Summary: The fastest flow to start earning EVT

1. Have a MANEKINEKO at Mini or later

2. Make a payment at a target store

3. Perform Check-in + BIND

4. Meet the requirements (cumulative $20 / two payments with the same card)

5. Wait 24 hours for approval

6. Excavation becomes available → continue earning with a 24-hour cooldown cycle

EVT is a token excavated in sync with real-world spending activity.

In the next page (7.6), we explain where EVT comes from (National Pool / Store Pool).
