What is Mina Protocol?
Mina is a lightweight Layer 1 that uses recursive zero-knowledge proofs to keep the entire blockchain a constant, small size. MINA holders delegate to block producers without giving up custody of their coins.
How to stake MINA
- Get an official wallet that supports Mina Protocol — the link on this page goes to Mina Protocol's official site, which lists supported wallets.
- Transfer or hold your MINA in that wallet. On most networks this keeps you in full control of your coins.
- From the wallet's staking or delegation screen, research and choose a validator (see our guide on choosing a validator).
- Confirm the delegation transaction. Rewards typically begin accruing automatically after a short activation period.
- Monitor your validator's performance periodically, and remember any unbonding period that applies if you later want to undelegate.

Unbonding & lock-up
Delegating MINA does not lock your tokens — they remain liquid the entire time, though there is a short delay before delegation becomes active.
