On March 23, 2021, after nearly three years of development and testing, a new project by  O(1) Labs Mina (formerly Coda), a lightweight blockchain developed by the team, went online on the main network.
The MINA protocol, which is based on zero-knowledge proof ZK-snarks (recommended by V), can reduce the size of the blockchain from a few hundred GB to a whopping 22KB -- the size of two tweets -- and is extremely portable, allowing end users to run verification of MINA's main network and nodes directly from their phones.

Compared to other "paper projects" that have not yet been completed, MINA now has more than 100,000 supporters and validators in more than 120 countries and regions after years of accumulation.
From April 13 to 15, 2021, MINA will launch a public sale of tokens on Coinlist, which is known as a "barbed-for blockchain project". Users who meet the requirements will have the opportunity to buy up to $1,000 of the corresponding token. Based on the previous reports and related content, rhythmBlockBeats explains the project information, participation rules and operation procedures in detail.
Since its development in June 2017,Mina's development teamO(1) LabsThree rounds of financing have been completed, totaling $29.4 million.
In May 2018, MINA raised 3.5 million seed rounds, which were sold for $0.07 and had an 18-month lock-up period. In April 2019, MINA closed A $15 million Series A funding round, which was sold for $0.15 in tokens, again with an 18-month lock-up period.
By October 2020, MINA had completed a $10.9 million strategic financing, which was unlocked in two ways: 52% of the $0.15 tokens had an 18-month lockup period (about 28.63 million tokens); The $0.25 token was unlocked at the same time as the community sale, on May 31, accounting for 48% (26.42 million tokens).

If the verification information previously filled in is one of the 32 provinces and cities other than the Special Administrative Region, a prompt will be given after selecting the corresponding option: the registration place does not meet the requirements of this subscription, so you cannot participate in this activity for the time being, but you can still use Coinlist's pledge, transaction and other services.According to feedback from some users, if your address is Hong Kong, China, you can participate in this activity.
