Mina Protocol

What is the Mina Protocol?

Mina's blockchain state can be easily verified using zero-knowledge proofs, allowing efficient full nodes to run in browsers or mobile devices for strong censorship resistance. It is secured by proof-of-stake consensus and the MINA token. Discover the Mina Protocol

Reinforced privacy

Mina's browser-based tools help ensure user data never leaves their device, enabling privacy-preserving applications that users can trust.
