Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Coda: Decentralized Cryptocurrency at Scale |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | The Coda paper, later the Mina protocol: a chain whose certificate is a constant-size succinct proof, so a client can check the state without replaying history. The project renamed from Coda to Mina. The paper keeps the original name. |
| Who may write | Joseph Bonneau, Izaak Meckler, Vanishree Rao, Evan Shapiro |
| What is settled | Each new block carries a succinct proof that there exists a valid history leading to this state. |
| Load-bearing assumption | A small proof does not make block production cheap, and it does not remove the need to trust the circuit. |
| What this library says afterwards | The paper is not a statement about Mina's later token distribution or foundation. |
