 I saw "temporary mint" and immediately thought "rug pull".

Your thoughts are precisely why I am against popularity rankings for mints. Popularity contests can be gamed and will get gamed most by those who have most to profit from being on top.

I see mints as ways to manage community funds. Uncle Jim model. My kids will want e-cash cause UTXOs will be too expensive for them early on. Also it's great for privacy.
