Other protocols are so heavy they require intermediaries to run nodes, recreating the same old power dynamics. But Mina is light, so anyone can connect peer-to-peer and sync and verify the chain in seconds. Built on a consistent-sized cryptographic proof, the blockchain will stay accessible — even as it scales to millions of users.

With Mina, anyone who’s syncing the chain is also validating transactions like a full node. Mina‘s design means any participant can take part in proof-of-stake consensus, have access to strong censorship-resistance and secure the blockchain.

3- API3

www.api3.org

API3 will allow smart contract platforms to leverage APIs for the building of meaningful applications in a truly decentralized and trust-minimized way.

API3 Features

DAO-Governed
API3 is governed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), its code is open source and its operations are completely transparent.

First-Party Oracles
Without third-party node operators, API3 data feeds are never exposed to data tampering and denial of service attacks by middlemen. This enables them to reach higher cost-efficiency, while having fewer attack surfaces. Source-level decentralization of dAPIs is enabled by Airnode, a fully serverless oracle node that can be deployed by any API provider for free, and requires minimal day-to-day management.

Quantifiably Secure
API3 provides dAPI users with the option of on-chain insurance, powered by the API3 token and Kleros’ decentralized courts. API3’s insurance feature gives dAPI users a quantifiable safety net in the event of a malfunction, holds the API3 DAO directly responsible for the security of the dAPIs and incentivizes a security-first governance approach for dAPIs and the API3 project as a whole.

Cross-Platform
As a multi-layer, cross-platform data solution, dAPIs can be bridged to any blockchain, in order to provide smart contracts on various platforms with reliable access to premium real-world data. API3’s cross-platform approach enables any smart contract platform to leverage API3’s ecosystem of dAPIs and data-integration tools by simply creating a bridge between API3 and the network.
