Mina Protocol

The world's lightest blockchain

Mina Protocol launched on February 21, 2021 with 72 votes, #659 of 3,133 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 5 years on.

What it does

By design, the entire Mina blockchain is and will always be about 22kb - the size of a couple of tweets. So anyone with a smartphone will be able to sync and verify the network in seconds.

Discover Mina Protocol, the lightest blockchain designed for secure, scalable decentralized applications. Start building or learn more.

Easily join and verify the entire Mina chain in milliseconds, from any device, while retaining full node security. Users only need to check a singular, recursive, ‘Proof of Everything.’ Verify a single proof that represents infinite computation, so you can run computation off-chain, and verify only one proof on-chain. This reduces strain on the network, lowering fees and enhancing scalability. Prove anything in one application then reuse it in another. Mina’s zero knowledge proofs are modular so you can use and reuse Mina’s zero knowledge proofs from app-chains, roll-ups, zkVMs, and L2s. Build compliant privacy solutions using TypeScript syntax. With zkApps your data never leaves your…from minaprotocol.com
