Minima: Potentially Becoming the Fastest Decentralized Blockchain

In today's rapidly evolving blockchain landscape, scalability remains a key bottleneck constraining industry development. Minima asserts that high TPS at Layer 1 is fundamentally impossible, as it contradicts the essence of decentralization - where every full node must process all transactions. With this deep understanding, Minima employs an innovative layered architecture design, planning to launch the Omnia scaling solution in 2025, which aims to achieve millions of transactions per second (TPS) at Layer 2 while maintaining a high degree of decentralization, pioneering a new era in blockchain technology.

Innovative Two-Layer Architecture

Minima employs a breakthrough two-layer architecture design. The base layer (Layer 1) focuses on security and decentralization, utilizing the innovative Tx-PoW (Transaction Proof of Work) mechanism, where each user only needs to perform about 10 seconds of proof of work when sending transactions. This design completely eliminates the role of traditional miners, fundamentally preventing computational power centralization.

The base layer employs adaptive block design, where block size can dynamically adjust according to network demands. However, Minima explicitly states that Layer 1 blockchains are fundamentally impossible to scale - because the requirement for every full node to process all transactions inherently limits scalability. This is not a technical problem, but rather an inevitable requirement of decentralization.

Breakthrough Technical Innovations

Efficient Storage Solution

• Implements innovative MMR (Merkle Mountain Range) storage technology
• Storage space requirements grow logarithmically, ensuring perpetual sustainability
• Users only need to store their own transaction data and proof chains

Lightweight Architecture

• First blockchain capable of running full nodes on mobile phones
• Supports chip-level deployment, perfectly suited for IoT devices
• Full nodes require no powerful hardware support

Omnia Scaling Technology (Planned for 2025)

• Advanced scaling solution based on ELTOO
• Achieves millions of TPS through off-chain transactions
• Near-zero transaction fees

Layered Scaling Strategy

Minima adopts a clear layered strategy to address scaling:

Base Layer (Layer 1)

• Focuses on network security and decentralization
• Clearly recognizes that Layer 1 cannot and should not pursue high TPS
• Provides secure and reliable infrastructure for Layer 2

Omnia Scaling Layer (Layer 2)

• Achieves true scalability through off-chain transactions
• Only parties involved in a transaction need to process it, not the entire network
• Supports smart routing optimization for improved network efficiency

Potential Application Scenarios

Minima's high-performance architecture will be particularly suitable for:

Financial Transactions

• High-frequency trading on cryptocurrency exchanges
• Cross-border payments and remittances
• High-frequency micropayment scenarios

IoT Applications

• Real-time micropayments between devices
• Smart city infrastructure
• Automated payment systems

Metaverse and Gaming

• Instant transactions in virtual worlds
• In-game asset trading
• Digital identity verification

Future Outlook

Minima's innovative design is pioneering new possibilities in blockchain technology. By maintaining decentralization at the base layer while providing high-performance solutions at the scaling layer, Minima is blazing a new trail for blockchain technology. With the launch of the Omnia scaling layer in 2025, Minima has the potential to become the fastest decentralized blockchain, providing powerful infrastructure support for IoT and Web3 applications.
