Outline

TLDR;

• An overview of Mina protocol

• How's Mina different from other Layer 1s like Ethereum, Solana etc?

• A brief walkthrough of protocol architecture

• Highlight unique features of Mina

An overview of Mina protocol

Introduce

• L1 blockchain based on zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP)

• first cryptocurrency protocol with a succinct blockchain (22KB)

• secured by proof of stake (PoS) consensus called Ouroboros Samisika

How's Mina different from other Layer 1s like Ethereum, Solana etc?

Elaborate more on each of the points above

• L1 blockchain based on zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP)

• first cryptocurrency protocol with a succinct blockchain (22KB)

• secured by proof of stake (PoS) consensus called Ouroboros Samisika

A short section on how Mina is different from other ZK-based projects.

A brief walkthrough of protocol architecture

Explain the entire infra by putting "Recursive composition of SNARKs" in focus.

• A refresher on how SNARKS work

• Elaborate on

  • how recursing compositions of SNARKs work

  • how this makes Mina different from other Layer1s like Ethereum, Solana etc

Highlight unique features of Mina

Elaborate on the unique use cases unlocked by Mina's different architecture

• Node can be run on a browser

• higher decentralisation

• privacy by default
