• Mina Protocol replaces the blockchain with an easily verifiable proof. (claimed in the economic whitepaper)
• Verifiers can check the block-chain randomly: Verifiers (any users) ensure that the parts of the state they care about (such as their account balances) are indeed contained within the same ledger that’s certified by the zk-SNARK.

Question:

• Does Mina use UTXO, eUTXO or Acounting? may be non of them according to coinmarketcap.
• " slashing"? Importantly, block producers are not incentivized by the threat of slashing in order to participate, as Mina uses Ouroboros?
• bid?
• what is the different between snark of Mina and "snapshot" of ADA?

Opponents:

• .... 
• Compare with ADA, DOT, SOL, NEAR, MINA

Prediction: Today, 2021-08-30, in the uptrend period (the new all-time-high of BTC), MINA market cap is 0.7B and I suppose that its marker cap will be as large as ADA which is 91B at the time before releasing smart contract.
