Description

⠀Minima is:

• A cooperative distributed PoW network without miners, immune to the attributes of a centralized, miner-centric paid system.
• Fully decentralized cryptosystem of collaborating users, without any centralized points of failure, capable of supporting the largest network of full nodes that have ever been assembled;
• Compact blockchain capable of running on a smartphone.
• Stable, open, global and censorship resistant P2P network with an embedded base-level blockchain for secure payments, token processing and contracts.
• Scalable, programmable, without any storage required, quantum-safe, evidence-based, Tx-PoW cascading chain.

Phases

⠀At this stage, the following phases are known:

• July 28 2021 — launching incentivized testnet;
• 3Q 2022 — mainnet launching.

Rewards

⠀Every day for the work of the node is charged 1 Minima coin. After the end of the testnet, coins will transfer to the mainnet at a ratio of 1:1. Additional rewards can be obtained for bugs searching.
