# Mina (MINA) — machine-readable summary

> FORTUNA SIGNAL · FORA-01 evidence dossier · Researched 2026-09-15 · https://ron-delhaye-studios.github.io/fortuna-signal-live/tokens/mina.html

## Definition
Mina is a succinct blockchain: a lightweight payment-oriented proof-of-stake chain using recursively composed zk-SNARKs so the full chain stays constant-size (about 22KB) and verifiable in roughly 200ms on modest devices.

## What the holder owns (FORA-01 Q1)
Native asset of the Mina network — pays fees, staked or delegated to secure the succinct chain. Evidence: the open protocol — the token is the chain’s native unit by consensus rules; there is no issuer to claim against.

## Verification verdict
Class NATIVE (Native) — FORA-01 scale: verification, not a quality ranking.
q1 VERIFIED · q2–q5 N/A (structural — bearer-native asset)

## Plain-language utility
Native fuel of the Mina network — pays for transactions and computation.

## Key risks & notes
Supply is uncapped with ongoing inflation that dilutes non-stakers. The sophisticated proving system carries cryptography exposure. The protocol remains under active development. Much delegator reward distribution is handled off-chain at validator discretion.
