Coin Explained: $MINA proofs do not make every app private automatically.

October 16: Mina’s documentation describes zkApps that run computations off-chain and send proofs for on-chain verification. Their state can be private or public, depending on design.

The practical question is what an individual app actually reveals—not simply whether it uses zero-knowledge technology.

Risk: a privacy label cannot replace reviewing an app’s design and security. #CoinExplained

Coin Explained: why $SOL transactions can cost different amounts.

October 16 check: Solana’s documentation separates the network fee into a base charge and an optional priority fee. Paying extra can improve scheduling priority; it is not a guarantee of successful execution.

That distinction matters when comparing a wallet’s fee estimates during busy periods.

Risk: assuming every transaction has the same total cost can lead to surprises. #CoinExplained

Coin Explained: $OSMO beyond the chart.

October 15: Osmosis describes itself as a cross-chain decentralized exchange and liquidity hub. Liquidity pools help users swap assets; they are not a promise of token returns.

The useful question: does trading activity translate into lasting demand for the token?

Risk: a working product can still have a falling token price.
