MINA Protocol

MINA Protocol

ICO Ended
4,415 Views
Mina is the first cryptocurrency protocol with a succinct blockchain. Current cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum store hundreds of gigabytes of data, and as time goes on, their blockchains will only increase in size. With Mina however, no matter how much the usage grows, the blockchain always stays the same size - about 22kb (the size of a few tweets). This means participants can quickly sync and verify the network.

This breakthrough is made possible due to zk-SNARKs - a type of succinct cryptographic proof. Each time a Mina node produces a new block, it also generates a SNARK proof verifying that the block was valid. All nodes can then store the small proof, as opposed to the entire chain. By not having to worry about block size, the Mina protocol enables a blockchain that is decentralized at scale.

Zortrax
Join the world's first ICO from a global 3D printers manufacturer. Be part of a groundbreaking opportunity to participate directly into the rapidly growing 3D printing industry. Zortrax, a producer of 3D printers and post-processing devices, introduces ZRXT tokens - bridging the crypto world with real-world technology. Zortrax Token (ZRXT) is a utility token that connects the innovative 3D printing ecosystem of Zortrax with the decentralized economy. It provides both investors and customers with real, on-chain benefits — from profit exposure via buybacks to valuable product discounts. Problem/Solution: Traditional equity and reward systems limit flexibility and exclude global retail participants. Zortrax Token introduces a hybrid model: token-based buybacks as a form of profit sharing, and utility-based discounts to reward brand loyalty and long-term engagement. Features: Profit Sharing via Buybacks: Zortrax uses a portion of its quarterly operational profits to buy back Zortrax Tokens from Uniswap v4, directly supporting token demand and price. Product Discounts Through Token Utility: - Lock-to-Discount: Users can lock Zortrax Tokens in a smart contract to receive up to 40% discount on eligible products. The amount and duration of the lock determine the discount tier. - One-Time Vouchers: Users can purchase discount vouchers (up to 40%) using tokens, without locking. This enables immediate utility and flexibility. DEX Liquidity: Tokens are freely tradable on Uniswap v4, allowing decentralized global access and real-time market pricing.
