What is Mina Protocol?

Mina Protocol (MINA) is a proof-of-stake layer-1 with a constant-sized blockchain of ~22KB. It uses recursive zk-SNARKs to compress chain history. MINA is the native currency for staking and SNARK marketplace.

What problem does Mina Protocol solve?

Traditional blockchains require ever-growing history. Mina allows verification with a succinct proof instead of full chain download.

How does Mina Protocol work?

Recursive zk-SNARKs compress state into a small proof. Ouroboros Praos-derived PoS. zkApps are TypeScript zero-knowledge smart contracts. SNARK workers generate proofs sold in Snarketplace. Initial 805M MINA, inflationary no cap.
