World’s lightest chain—just 22 kB, powered by zk‑SNARK zero‑knowledge proofs.
Mina uses zk‑SNARKs to attest to its ledger’s accuracy. Recursive proofs secure the chain end‑to‑end, and zero‑knowledge unlocks powerful privacy and scalability gains.
Mina blockchain
Mina maintains a constant 22 kB chain size, no matter how many transactions, accounts, or blocks.
Other blockchains grow without bound and most already exceed 500 GB. As of October 20, 2025, Bitcoin and Ethereum are approximately 687.26 GB and 1,415 GB, respectively.
Mina staking at a glance
Mina validators are called Block Producers (BPs). Here’s what to know before you delegate.
No Slashing
Delegating your tokens carries no slashing risk on Mina.
No Bonding
Your MINA tokens stay accessible while staked. Put simply: stake, or you’re leaving yield on the table.
Expected Yield
11% per year
Why stake with P2P Staking
In addition to our across‑the‑board best practices, a key benefit of choosing us is our participation in the Mina Foundation Validator Program.
99.99%+ Uptime
Among the highest‑performing validators, we operate 3 parallel servers to catch every block.
Mina delegation program
Validator in the Mina Delegation Program since launch. We receive delegation from O(1) Labs (formerly the Mina Foundation).
Skin in the game
We delegate our own MINA to our validator via this account.

FAQ – Your Questions Answered
There’s no risk to staking on Mina—that’s why the staking rate is near 90%. There’s no slashing and no bonding in the protocol. Your tokens remain transferable and usable whether staked or not, and there’s no penalty risk regardless of the validator you choose. Still, picking a good validator matters: a low‑performing validator earns you less whenever they miss blocks they’re entitled to produce. Also, rewards are distributed by validators, not the protocol, so choose one that secures and pays out efficiently.
Current inflation rates are 11%.
The share of tokens staked on the Mina network is very high, so current Mina staking yields are very close to the inflation rate.
Rewards distribution on Mina is handled by validators.
Delegations, however, are recorded in the ledger.
A delegation becomes effective 2 epochs after it is recorded. It remains valid until the user changes it. The ledger state at the end of epoch N determines the delegations applied in epoch N+2. (1 epoch ~= 14 days)
For example, a user who delegates during epoch 22 will start earning rewards at the beginning of epoch 24.
When re-delegating from validator A to validator B, the user continues earning rewards with A until the re-delegation becomes effective. There is no gap without rewards.
Our validator distributes the rewards for an epoch during the first days of the following epoch.
This makes it easier to track your rewards.
There are several non-custodial wallets. Pending upcoming integration with Ledger Live, Clorio and Auro support the Ledger Nano S.
You can delegate to us from these wallets by searching for our validator: B62qmM9KDeqvu3TVpQStGJARgg7KppxE8UF3xMdtKV9TDc33kSUGug5.
Current inflation rates are 11%.
There’s no limitation at the protocol level. However, some block producers have a payment threshold.
We accept delegations of any amount and distribute all rewards pro rata to the stakes.
Yes, accrued rewards are automatically added to your stake as counted at the end of each epoch.
Simply re-delegate to a new validator.
Note that there’s no benefit to “unstaking” by not choosing a validator. With no lockup and no slashing risk, Mina is one of the rare Proof-of-Stake protocols where there’s no reason to stop staking.
Our fee is 5% on the Mina network.
So you keep 95% of the rewards.
For example, if you delegate 100 MINA to us for 1 year and they earn 24 MINA in rewards, our fee would be 1.2 MINA and your reward would be 22.8 MINA.
