How to Buy Mina Protocol (MINA)

Have you ever wanted to participate in the blockchain economy by running your own node? 

The Mina protocol was created in 2017 with the aim to allow anyone, regardless of their computing capacity, to run a blockchain node. The team launched Mina as what they call a “compressed” blockchain platform, meaning that the entire chain is about 22kb in size, taking roughly as much space on someone's computer as a couple of tweets.

Mina is notably known as being one of the most anticipated projects of the industry to date. The team raised a total of $18.75 million during its token sale in under four hours.

There are a number of ways to buy MINA. However, many find that it is easiest to purchase Mina through a trusted global exchange like Kraken. 

Aside from offering the lowest fees in the industry, Kraken is constantly rated one of the most secure and trusted crypto exchanges in the world. At Kraken, we take security seriously, with tested technology and rigorous procedures designed to safeguard funds. 

Follow the steps below to start buying MINA on Kraken:

1. Sign up for a Kraken account.
   First, enter an email address, create a new username and set a strong password to protect your account.

2. Verify your account.
   After providing your name, date of birth, country of residence and phone number, you can deposit crypto to buy Mina and other cryptocurrencies like ETH and DOGE. In order to use cash (i.e. USD, EUR or CHF), you’ll need to provide our experts with additional supporting documents verifying your identity. Read about our verification processes here.

3. Add funds or a payment method to your account
   We support multiple funding and payment methods, whichever you choose will be based on your location and preferences. 

4. Purchase MINA!
   Once your account is funded with cash, you’re ready to buy MINA. You’ll also get access to our advanced charting tools, 24-hour global client support and futures trading*. All of these features are why millions of global traders love Kraken.

Note: Trading MINA is not available to residents of the USA, Canada, Australia and Japan at this time.

*Trading futures, derivatives and other instruments using leverage involves an element of risk and may not be suitable for everyone. Read Kraken’s risk disclosure to learn more.

 

 

Once you buy MINA, your tokens will be stored in your Kraken account. 

For maximum security, we recommend using an official wallet that allows you to store your private keys.

Kraken is not a wallet service 

It is important to note that Kraken is an exchange service and not a wallet service. So while we allow our clients to hold MINA in their accounts, we highly encourage you to separate your MINA holdings into multiple wallets.
