Mina Protocol is a blockchain that maintains a constant-size proof of its state using recursive zero-knowledge proofs, keeping the chain compact.
Semantic Classification
Content
- Mina Protocol replaces the growing transaction history of typical blockchains with a recursive succinct proof that summarises the entire chain state. This keeps the verifiable record at a fixed, small size.
- Nodes verify the current state by checking a single proof rather than replaying all prior blocks. The design targets lightweight participation and uses zero-knowledge proof techniques throughout.
