The mobile blockchain
The evolution will not be centralised
A unique protocol
An ultra-lean and compact PoW blockchain, designed for maximum decentralisation.
Secured by collaborating users, not competing miners.
A complete node runs in full on a mobile phone or IoT device.
Features native tokens and smart contracts.
Why Minima is different
Maximum decentralisation
Each device on the Minima network is a complete node. Designed for maximum decentralisation.
Built for Mobile and IoT
Minima nodes are designed to run on mobile and IoT devices, requiring little storage or processing power.
Greener Proof of Work
Minima is engineered to use decentralised energy, making it the most sustainable PoW protocol.
“We would achieve maximal decentralization of a blockchain network if every person on the planet owned precisely one full node device connected to the network.”
Joe Lubin, ConsenSys, April 2019
Key protocol features
TX-PoW
TX-PoW allows co-operating users to secure the chain, rather than competing miners.
Cascading Chain
Total PoW is stored using a hierarchy of super blocks, significantly reducing storage needs.
MMR Database
Merkelized proofs allow users to validate transactions without having to store the entire database.
"Decentralization is only a means towards the key to blockchain value, trust minimization, which brings a host of benefits: immutability, censorship resistance, global seamlessness, monetary and financial sovereignty. Other kinds of decentralization are security theater."

Enabler of Web 3.0
The world is becoming more connected. However, centralised systems such as banks and middlemen used to verify online transactions cannot cope - they're slow, expensive, unable to scale and vulnerable to cyber attacks.
First generation blockchain projects were seen as a solution to connect people and devices, but they have all suffered from a tendency to become centralised.
Minima’s unique blockchain will create the most decentralised – and therefore secure – system for connecting mobile and IoT devices. Every user is equal and stores their own data, enabling transparent and secure connectivity.
"Miners are supposed to be people who mine because they have an interest in Bitcoin working securely. That doesn't require a fee market or subsidy. Mining is NOT supposed to be profitable."

Minima for Enterprise
100% Verified
Successful code audit by Swisscom Blockchain AG, with a 100% pass rate and a testnet across three continents.
Live Testnet
After five years of development, the command-line testnet is now available on GitHub.
Proof of Concepts
Proof of Concept successfully completed in 2019 with Manx Telecom. Further PoCs in plan for 2020.

The MetaCoin
Our Chief Blockchain Architect, Spartacus Rex, makes an analogy between the infamous MetaBaron comic & Bitcoin. One coin to rule them all. One chain to bind us all.

Minima In Sixty Seconds
Want to get to grips with the key fundamentals that drive Minima but don't have the time to take a deep dive into the protocol? Here's Minima elevator pitch to get you up to speed quickly.

Ergo Minima
Our Chief Blockchain Architect, Paddy Cerri, addresses the fundamental importance of a blockchain, censorship-resistance. How Bitcoin will eventually become threatening enough to reserve currencies for a state-level attack and how this belief led him to create a truly decentralised censorship-resistant cryptocurrency, Minima.
