One protocol
Four layers

Each layer contributes to Minima being a truly decentralised, censorship resistant network.

Minima
LAYER 1
The blockchain layer for value transfer. All transactions are processed by all nodes on the network. It is flood-fill. It uses a P2P system as its backbone for communication between nodes.
Maxima
COMMUNICATION LAYER
Maxima is the information transport layer running over the Minima network. Communication is point-to-point. Messages can be sent, off-chain, to chosen connected peers.
Omnia
LAYER 2
Layer 2: Omnia is fast, affordable and scalable. It enables instant peer-to-peer transactions by creating bi-directional payment channels between participants, using technology similar to Bitcoin’s Lightning Network.
MiniDapps
LAYER 3
Layer 3: MiniDapps are truly decentralised applications built using the functionality enabled by the Minima network:

1. Value transfer on Minima
2. Information transfer on Maxima
3. Unlimited transactions per second on Omnia

Minima token distribution

Minima has a fixed cap supply of 1 billion coins, minted at the Token Generation Event. The coin allocation is split into the following categories:

100% of Native Minima (1,000,000,000 $MINIMA coins) were minted at the Token Generation Event, and 12.5% of these coins are wrapped on the Ethereum blockchain as ERC-20 tokens (125,000,000 $WMINIMA coins).

This was done to enable Wrapped Minima to be tradable on exchanges shortly after TGE in Q1 2023, ahead of the native $MINIMA integration on CEXS, and to enable possible future usecases requiring an ERC-20.
