Most popular blockchains of today grow at a rate proportional to the activity of the network. In the last year alone, Bitcoin has swelled from 288 GB to more than 350 GB as of writing. This is making it difficult for regular users to participate in securing and maintaining the network by operating a full node.
Right now, anybody looking to run an Ethereum archive node would need to have close to 8 TB in free storage. The average Laptop has between 500 GB to 1 TB of total storage. This situation could also have the knock-on effect of increasing centralization.
Minima is a new platform that could solve the problem of so-called "blockchain bloat" Minima's blockchain is tiny enough to fit on practically any modern device with even a modest amount of free storage space (think megabytes, not gigabytes).
