Minima is a layer 1 blockchain and peer-to-peer network optimized for mobile use. According to its website, Its ultra-lean protocol will allow users to "run a full constructing and validating node," creating what they hope to be a fully decentralized network.
The blockchain uses the Minima coin as its native currency to enable peer-to-peer transfers between users without the need for a third party. The platform is currently in its testnet phase and plans to go live in March in 180 countries.
