1/ @MinaProtocol uses recursive cryptography to keep a verifiable version of the blockchain restricted to a fixed size of about 11kB.
Mina is able to stay a fixed size by using a self-referencing series of cryptographic proofs.

2/ @MinaProtocol uses cryptography called recursive zk-SNARKs, which stands for zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive argument of knowledge.
Zero-knowledge proofs are a way to prove something with the verifier learning no information other than the statement is true.
Zero-knowledge proofs are a way to prove something with the verifier learning no information other than the statement is true.
3/ SNARKs are a type of zero-knowledge proof. They are called succinct because they are small and easy to verify.
@MinaProtocol uses a type of zk-SNARK called Pickles that can recursively refer to itself, thus creating proofs of proofs and keeping the blockchain a fixed size.

4/ @MinaProtocol has been building a promising solution to capitalize on the potential in the zero-knowledge space without compromising on decentralization.
