Mina Protocol
Mina Protocol is a Layer 1 blockchain that maintains a constant size of approximately 22 kilobytes, making it the lightest blockchain in existence. Unlike traditional blockchains that grow in size over time, Mina uses recursive zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) to compress the entire blockchain state into a tiny cryptographic proof. This enables any participant to quickly sync and verify the chain on consumer hardware, including smartphones, promoting true decentralization. Mina's zkApps (zer...
