Mina Protocol is a minimal "succinct blockchain," whose goal is to help dApps operate in a more efficient way. CoinMarketCap describes Mina as the world's largest DLT platform since its goal is to "remain constant despite growth in usage." Mina was launched in October 2020, when it rebranded from the Coda Protocol.
The price of the MINA token has surged to a peak of 16.86% over the past 24 hours. It happened as the largest crypto exchange in South Korea announced the listing of this cryptocurrency.

Over the past 24 hours, the price of MINA made a massive jump, rising by almost 17% and hitting a peak of $0.505. By now, the coin has lost 5.48%, trading at $0.477 on the Binance exchange.
