MINIMA CHIP ADVANCEMENT 🧵 Minima already runs full blockchain nodes on phones and low-powered devices. Now, it’s going one step further by working on a custom chip purposely built for edge decentralization 🚀 📅 This month, the team revealed a new initiative in collaboration with two of its "largest tech partners" and two "academic leading chip design labs" (names not yet disclosed). This collaboration has a goal to design a chip that makes running a Minima node as efficient and embedded as possible on all devices 📱 🤝🏾 The team is accelerating efforts towards bringing this custom chip to life because edge devices (mobiles, routers, vehicles) need a blockchain that is: ✅ Ultra light ✅ Energy efficient ✅ Fully peer-to-peer This chip initiative is aimed at scalability and real world use cases. It goes beyond theory, and can impact use cases like: – 5G routers → trustless telecom networks – Smart homes → verifiable energy & security logs – Cars → sync without internet. Minima is making a statement with this move to prove that it isn't an average blockchain. It is an ecosystem where there are no validators, no mining farms, and every device runs a full node fit to serve it's specific needs. The challenge: adopting this directly into consumer hardware and millions of devices⚡️ With the prototype underway, the teams are currently working towards developing a functional chip by the end of 2025. If successful, it could set a new standard for blockchain hardware design built for decentralization from the base to the top. It aims to support real-time validation on devices without needing a central server 👉Also, Minima has indicated that integration trials and commercial hardware tests will follow the prototype phase. It is a bold move consistent with Minima’s DNA that revolves around minimal code, maximal decentralization. The custom chips once achieved will bring the chain one step closer to the edge.

We’ve now surpassed our initial raise target by £120k+. Not just a funding milestone, but a clear signal of belief in what we’re building with Minima. What’s resonating isn’t hype, but clear direction: lightweight, embedded blockchain infrastructure designed to run at the edge, on real hardware, in real conditions. We’re focused on constrained systems - where the future of connected devices is actually being built. As autonomy & IoT scale, verifiable, tamper-proof data at the source stops being optional. It becomes essential. That’s the space we’re building into. To everyone who’s backed us, a sincere thank you. For those still considering, there is still time to join the raise: europe.republic.com/minima Approved by Republic Europe on 30/03/26

This week, @Minima_Global opened up a public crowdfunding round ahead of the planned Series A (giving early supporters a chance to invest before traditional VC fully steps in). Minima is raising via Republic (a platform known for hosting equity crowdfunding rounds for deep-tech and high-growth startups). The initial target has been hit and is in a phase of accepting limited oversubscription. That alone signals strong early demand. But what exactly are people investing in? Minima isn’t another “faster blockchain” pitch. It's infrastructure for a world where machines act independently. This direction is in line with where things are heading. Systems won’t just process data, they’ll transact, verify, and interact without humans. Most systems today rely on cloud-based trust. Knowing that the model is fragile and breaks down easily, Minima’s approach tackles this. Instead of pushing trust to the cloud, it is embedded inside the machine itself. The blockchain is lightweight and constitutes a different architecture from traditional chains. Partnering with Arm and Siemens, both deeply embedded in global hardware and industrial systems, it matters because it is not your typical “crypto-native” collaborations. And importantly, it's not at idea stage. There are already 50,000+ devices running, generating revenue, and actively deploying infrastructure That puts this ahead of many projects still stuck in theory. So what’s this raise actually for? Positioning ahead of scale. A Series A later this year is aimed at preparations to: - expand deployments - deepen enterprise integrations - solidify machine-to-machine infrastructure

@Minima_Global As always: NFA Do your own research. Understand the structure. And only invest what you’re willing to hold long-term🤝🏾

@Minima_Global Worth noting: This is an equity-style crowdfunding round, not a typical token sale. So you’re looking at exposure to the company itself not just a tradable asset. Different risk profile and upside model. This raise is one of the first chances for the public to get in early.

How to participate This round accessible through Republic. You’ll need to: • Register on the platform • Complete eligibility/KYC • Review the offering details • Decide on your allocation (if space remains) Link: europe.republic.com/minima

We’re crowdfunding - giving our long term supporters and the public the opportunity to invest in Minima AG ahead of our planned Series A later this year. We’re launching a crowdfunding round on @joinrepublic to build the trust layer for autonomous machines. We’ve already exceeded our initial target, and are accepting a limited amount of over-subscription. As AI and machines begin to transact on their own, trust can’t live in the cloud. It has to exist inside the machines themselves. That’s what Minima is building 👇

We’re not getting quantum ready. We already are. Minima runs on WOTS + SHA3, no elliptic curve exposure. No hard fork dependency. Most chains are planning upgrades. We’re built to evolve. If you want to understand why that matters 👇 minima.global/post/the-quant…

@Harriso24312263 You won't be disappointed 💪🏽

@web3knows Looking forward to this project

Across Engineering Updates for the Month of March with Minima 👇🏾 Milestones have been reached, which marks a notable point of progress across the Minima stack, with several core components moving out of testing and closer to live deployment 📅 ✔️The DEX (v1.0.1) —》 has seen a front-end revamp that improves usability and general interaction with the platform. Alongside that, a few structural controls have been introduced, including Sin-bin restrictions for new users and 5-minute timeouts on trades and messaging. These additions are a deliberate effort aimed at managing behaviour at the edge while maintaining system responsiveness. A round of bug fixes from testing feedback also feeds into a more stable release baseline. ✔️On the Stablecoin Bridge side (v1.0) —》 Support for USDT (ERC-20), bridging into USDT on Minima has been added. This expands the scope of asset movement into the ecosystem, while contract-level optimisations point toward better execution efficiency over time. It’s a practical step taken toward making external liquidity more accessible within Minima’s environment. ✔️MiniMask —》Despite having no major functional changes introduced in this cycle, a light front-end overhaul is in progress. The focus there is set to be on consistency aligning the wallet experience with the broader interface improvements happening across other components. Taken together, the updates reflect a phase centred on refinement and gradual expansion. Systems that have already been built and tested are now being adjusted for reliability, usability, and integration as they approach release.

@king_jayweb3 Cheers to your new age 🥂🎉

X gave me balloons 🎈 Happy Birthday to me

We’re in a phase where hype is fading. 🕑 Crypto isn’t the shiny new thing anymore, and AI is taking that spotlight. This is somewhat a good thing because now, only what actually matters will survive. The noise is clearing, and what’s left are the real questions: • Why use blockchain at all? • What problem does it solve? • What can’t be done without it? If the answer isn’t censorship resistance, you probably don’t need a blockchain. Somewhere along the way, the industry lost this. When hype took over, money became the focus, and decentralisation quietly got pushed aside. The bigger most blockchains get, the more centralised they become. Mining, staking, and validation are all elements of centralisation. Why, because humans love competition and competition creates winners. However, when a few players win, they control the network. At that point, the “decentralised” chain is just a system waiting to be shut down. The narrative is shifting from “How many nodes exist?” To “How hard is it to control the network?” This is where things get interesting with Minima. Instead of designing a competitive system, it moves with a fresh approach to this narrative. Instead of miners competing, block rewards, and financial arms race, it prioritizes collective participation, contribution, and network security. It turns blockchain from a win-lose game into a win-win system where you don’t mine to beat others but run a node to protect your own assets. This in itself changes everything. Because incentives shape outcomes. If you reward people to get more power, that power becomes centralised. Remove that incentive, and you successfully end the rat race. Also, everyone has forgotten that true decentralisation must be accessible. Not everyone has servers, expensive hardware, or technical setups, but billions have phones. So, if a blockchain can’t run on everyday devices, it becomes difficult to scale decentralisation globally. This thought has helped shape Minima’s architecture, where instead of a few powerful machines secure the network, you get millions (or billions) of everyday devices doing it collectively. 📱 And that has made the system become: • Attack resistant • censorship resistant • truly neutral With anything else being temporary. With Minima, the plan is simple, Fix the incentives → Fix the system Fix the system → Fix the outcome And maybe, just maybe, that’s how to start fixing the world 🌎

@xximpod @Spartacuswrecks @Minima_Global Minima is providing solutions to questions left unanswered in the industry. An infrastructure that actually means something and is built to take blockchain to the next phase. The Chip in Hardware is one such step, and there's more incoming 👍🏾

🚨 New Episode w Paddy @Spartacuswrecks from @Minima_Global "Fix the money, Fix the world" In this episode, Ankit sits down with Paddy from Minima, the embedded PoW L1 blockchain Empowering edge devices with full decentralization. @Spartacuswrecks makes a bold, unapologetic

@Minima_Global @Arm Blockchain running on a chip has shifted from an ideology to reality. A tip of the iceberg has been displayed, and ecosystems around embedded hardware are changing.

Asking the right question: Can blockchain run on a chip? @Arm's Semiconductor Education Alliance's latest post shows it can: with a full Minima node on embedded hardware. This isn’t a feature. It’s a shift. Blockchain is moving to the edge. Trust is moving into the machine.

@Xtratimer1 Happy birthday chief 🎂 Great things are yours for the taking ❤️ Thanks for always showing up and being amazing..

It's my birthday and X heard my plea yesterday and gave me balloons today!!!🔥💃🥳 I'm so grateful to God for bringing me this far. There's been ups and downs but I'm here to declare that God's been faithful to me🙏 Say a prayer for me...you can ask for my address also🥹

@xInDS2Z0NAewoVf And there's more to come💪🏽

@Web3d0m @Minima_Global And the results are driving it for all to see🤝🏾

@web3knows @Minima_Global Minima is quietly changing the narrative !

Historically, block height has been a proxy for network maturity. Early in its life, even Bitcoin faced instability, forks, and coordination challenges, but over time, consistency became its strongest feature. A similar pattern can be seen with Ethereum. Its growth wasn’t just

Most blockchains scale by reducing decentralisation. The Minima network just passed 2,000,000 blocks produced with: 1. Zero downtime 2. No centralised validators 3. Every user running a full node Radically different design. Completely decentralised outcome 🔥
