What is Ouroboros Samisika? | Mina Protocol
Mina Protocol - The ZK-Native Blockchain
Mina builds on Cardano Protocol's Ouroboros to create Ouroboros Samisika, a provably secure PoS protocol that combines the best features of each iteration of Ouroboros to deliver a PoS mechanism that can resolve long-range forks without requiring history or risking centralization.
In this video, we break down Ouroboros Samisika so that it is as simple as playing a game of darts! 🎯

What is Mina?
Mina is the world's lightest blockchain powered by zero knowledge proofs. Rather than apply brute computing force, Mina uses advanced cryptography and recursive zk-SNARKs to design an entire blockchain of about 22kb, the size of a couple of tweets. It is the first layer-1 to enable efficient implementation and easy programmability of zero knowledge smart contracts (zkApps). With its unique privacy features and ability to connect to any website, Mina is building a private gateway between the real world and crypto—and the secure, democratic future we all deserve.
