Mina Protocol (MINA) is a lightweight, privacy-focused blockchain for scalable dApps. Created by O(1) Labs, led by Evan Shapiro and Emre Tekişalp, it uses "zk-SNARKs" for small, fixed-size blockchains. MINA tokens power network governance, fees, staking, and consensus. Enables privacy, security, and scalability for dApps and services.

Mina Protocol (MINA) is a lightweight, privacy-focused blockchain protocol designed to enable scalable and verifiable decentralized applications (dApps) and cryptocurrencies. It uses a unique consensus mechanism called "zk-SNARKs" to achieve a small, fixed-size blockchain, making it accessible for a wide range of devices and applications.

Mina Protocol was created by a team of computer scientists, entrepreneurs, and engineers, led by Evan Shapiro and Emre Tekişalp. The protocol was developed by O(1) Labs, a San Francisco-based company, and launched in 2021.
