7.5 How to Earn EVT (BIND & Excavation)
Last updated
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?”
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
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
Have a MANEKINEKO at Mini or later
Make a payment at a target store
Perform Check-in + BIND
Meet the requirements (cumulative $20 / two payments with the same card)
Wait 24 hours for approval
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).
