Mina Protocol

$20,000

About

Mina Protocol is the world’s lightest blockchain, powered by participants. Rather than apply brute computing force, Mina Protocol uses advanced cryptography and recursive zk-SNARKs to design an entire blockchain that is about 22kb, the size of a couple of tweets. It is the first layer-1 to enable efficient implementation and easy programmability of zero knowledge smart contracts (zkApps). With its unique privacy features and ability to connect to any website, Mina is building a private gateway between the real world and crypto—and the secure, democratic future we all deserve. Protokit enables developers to build zero-knowledge, interoperable and privacy preserving application chains with a minimal learning curve. https://protokit.dev
