Mina is a layer-1 cryptocurrency protocol implemented in OCaml featuring a constant-sized (~22KB) blockchain built with recursive zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs). The repository contains the protocol implementation, node software, archive and Rosetta API services, and supporting tooling for running block producers and snark workers.
Use cases
- run a mina node to verify the blockchain
- become a block producer and stake mina
- run a snark worker to generate proofs
- query blockchain state via the rosetta api
- send payments from the command line
- build zero knowledge smart contracts on mina
- verify the entire chain from a low-resource device
When to choose
- you need a lightweight blockchain verifiable on constrained hardware
- you want to participate in proof-of-stake consensus with minimal resources
- you are building privacy-preserving zkApps with recursive proofs
- you need constant-size chain state for archival or verification purposes
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose smart contract platform with mature tooling
- you require stable, non-breaking APIs for production integrations
- you want an EVM-compatible chain or existing DeFi ecosystem
- you need high-throughput transaction processing
