Dive into Mina Protocol with our guide on how to stake MINA with InfStones. In this article, we offer you a step-by-step process to stake MINA.

What Is Mina and MINA Staking?

Mina Protocol is a blockchain platform that achieves scalability through a lightweight, fixed blockchain size of approximately 22 KB. It uses zk-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge) cryptography to verify transactions without storing the entire transaction history. Mina Protocol's native cryptocurrency, MINA, is used to facilitate network transactions and distribute fees between users.

MINA Staking refers to the process of participating in the Mina Protocol network by staking (locking up) your MINA tokens to perform various functions on the network, such as securing the network, validating transactions, and participating in the governance of the protocol.

How to Unstake Mina?

Unlike most staking protocols, Mina doesn't have a specific "Unstake" or "Undelegate" command. This is because Mina never locks staked funds, allowing them to be accessed at any time.

If you wish to change validators, you can first open your Auro wallet and click staking and click change.
