MinaProtocol: News of the Week

Mina Developer Alliance

The Mina Developers Alliance is bringing together a dedicated group of developers and ecosystem members.

Mina’s Unique Architecture

Mina Protocol continues to stand out with its unique approach to handling decentralized applications. Unlike traditional blockchains, where all computations occur on-chain, Mina performs computations off-chain, ensuring efficiency. These computations are wrapped in zero-knowledge proofs, which verify their correctness. The proofs then update the blockchain state, enabling fixed fees and secure, trustless verification. This method streamlines development and reduces the load on the blockchain, making Mina a flexible and powerful platform for building secure applications.
