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 ～22 kilobytes (the size of a few tweets). This means MINA can be accessed trustlessly from any device, including phones and browsers, and enables frictionless integration of cryptocurrency into applications for developers.
We launched our first Public Testnet in BETA on July 24th 2019 at 2 PM PST. As the first succinct blockchain, it generated significant interest from the community. I developed a Twitter card for our Community Call that was happening on July 18th to generate interest and update our Twitter followers.
