Economics Design, an independent third-party consultancy commissioned by Mina Foundation, has finalized their comprehensive tokenomics study in response to the community-requested RFP: Tokenomics in Mina Report.
This analysis incorporates feedback from the October 2024 community call, Mina Research discussions, and in-person conversations at MinaCon last fall.
The report examines Mina’s current tokenomics, compares it with that of peer projects, and outlines potential changes for inflation and other economic aspects of the protocol. It includes simulations showing how parameter adjustments could impact Mina’s tokenomics, providing a framework for evaluating modifications and their effects.
Please note that this in-depth analysis is an educational resource to inform potential community-led tokenomics changes through future Mina Improvement Proposals (MIPs), and is not intended as an endorsement of any specific approach.
Our hope is that this report empowers the community to craft one or more MIPs to better align Mina’s tokenomics with their values and objectives.

About Mina Protocol
Mina is the world’s lightest blockchain, powered by participants. Rather than apply brute computing force, Mina uses advanced cryptography and recursive zk-SNARKs to design an entire blockchain that is about 22kb, the size of a couple of tweets. It is the first layer-1 to enable efficient implementation and easy programmability of zero knowledge smart contracts (zkApps). With its unique privacy features and ability to connect to any website, Mina is building a private gateway between the real world and crypto—and the secure, democratic future we all deserve.
