Mina Protocol

Mina Protocol is a blockchain network that describes itself as the world's lightest blockchain, designed to remain compact regardless of how much transaction history accumulates. It positions itself as a privacy-preserving bridge between conventional data systems and the cryptocurrency world, using cryptographic proofs to let users verify the state of the chain without downloading the full ledger. The intended audience is developers and users who want blockchain-based verification with lower computational demands and stronger privacy guarantees than traditional networks offer.

Mina uses a Proof of Stake consensus mechanism and is broadly categorized as both a Layer 1 network and a Zero Knowledge platform, meaning validators stake MINA tokens to participate in block production and the chain uses zero-knowledge proofs to compress its entire history into a fixed-size proof rather than an ever-growing chain of blocks. The MINA token is used for staking, paying transaction fees within the network, and participating in governance. The data records a block time of 0.0 minutes, which likely reflects a data gap rather than instantaneous finality, so the precise block cadence should be verified from primary sources.

No fee-stream data is stored for this asset, so it is not possible to describe revenues collected by the protocol, who pays them, or how they are distributed. The circulating supply stands at 1,293,631,019 MINA, representing 100 percent of supply issued, with no supply pending and zero dilution overhang, meaning there is no additional token issuance recorded as outstanding. The fully diluted valuation equals the market capitalisation of approximately 82,463,914 USD, consistent with 100 percent of supply already in circulation and no recorded maximum supply cap.
