旨在打造一个蓬勃的去中心化网络和开放的可编程货币—所有人都能参与、创造、交易和壮大。
每天，为了使用线上服务，我们放弃私密信息的控制权，转交给技术大公司低头。为了使用银行服务，我们放弃自己财物的控制权，转交给银行和不可靠的信用机构。为了参与选举，我们不得不相信选举系统公司，而这些公司的选举操作却不透明、无法审计。
也就是因为这样的力量不平衡，我们想要使用区块链，但大部分参与者还是不得不依赖第三方来验证交易。为什么？因为运行全节点需要昂贵的硬件设施和大量的电量，随着区块链越来越臃肿，同步时间将越来越长。
其实大可不必。
2017年6月，O（1）Labs启动了一个充满决心的新开源项目，旨在设计一个能传达区块链初心的底层协议——实现真正的去中心化、可拓展和安全。
Mina并非采纳原始的算力大战，而是采用先进的加密技术和递归零知识证明zk-SNARKs，推出了一款优雅的解决方案。
过去三年，我们团队和给力的社区发布和迭代了好几次测试网。现在，我们终于可以自豪地将Mina推广至全球。在Mina，开发人员可以开发zkApps应用（由SNARK支持）来支持金融服务，用户无需放弃隐私信息和可编程金钱，直接用手机便可使用该服务。但，这只是刚开始。
未来有挑战在所难免，Mina定位是全世界最轻量级最方便使用的区块链，未来我们将看到新一代享用Mina的服务，感受区块链的赋能。
在此，我们致敬一个更高效、更优雅、更公平的未来。
“小型可拓展的区块链能独立在小节点上得到验证，这点尤其吸引我。”
