great energy at India Blockchain Week 🇮🇳
ran a workshop on Mina + o1js, a few takeaways:
- many people still haven’t heard of Mina and are genuinely amazed by what it can do
- devs were surprised how approachable o1js feels vs other zk toolkits
- tons of talented, hungry builders looking to contribute to zk

Mesa Testnet is now LIVE.
Mina’s next major upgrade enters its first public phase today.
This is a pre-flight testnet opened early so the community can begin testing Mesa’s new features.

We’re teaming up with @Zcash to sponsor the Zypherpunk Hackathon — where privacy, proofs, and programmability collide 🔐✨
Here’s how builders can win $20K+ in MINA prizes👇 Explore our challenges

Contrary to popular belief, sometimes tech does matter, as it unlocks novel products that would otherwise be impossible.
Not saying this is responsible for the price movement, but all four projects build zk validiums:
- ZKsync Prividiums
- Scroll Cloak
- Mina zkApps
- Starkware StarkEx
State is managed off-chain but verified onchain, providing privacy and security.
Privacy: Validiums offer what I call "responsible" and pragmatic privacy: they provide individuals and businesses with privacy against public scrutiny, but the operator is responsible for, e.g., tracing hacks.
Security:
- Self-custody since ZK ensures the validity of state transitions
- Liveness via L1 forced inclusion
So after the crazy $ZEC run, degens out there are now pumping every random ecosystem with some kind of zk tech underneath?
Literally nothing is happening on zkSync, Mina Protocol, Scroll, Starknet, or any of the others, nor does anyone care about these chains.
It’s a pure narrative pump, just because another, completely unrelated asset performed well, and now everyone who missed that trade is desperate for the next play.
So much for “we won’t get another altseason where every shitcoin pumps and we see an obvious flight to quality amongst investors now.”
Nothing has changed lol. Just wait until we get a proper risk-on environment the next months and it’s going to feel like 2021 all over again.

Imagine if a blockchain could issue offline certificates that prove on-chain events.
Combined with TEEs + encrypted backups, it could form a strong defense against ransomware🤯🔒.
@MinaProtocol's architecture makes this feel closer than you’d think. Who’d want to explore this?
RT @zkLawyer_: I’ve seen some discussion on X about recent exchange changes affecting @MinaProtocol, so I’d like to provide an update to th…

The first community-built DEX using the @LuminaDEX SDK, operational on both Mina devnet and Zeko testnet.
Congrats to the @gizmolab_ team! 👏

Live on @ZekoLabs testnet⚡️ and @MinaProtocol devnet🔐 (w/mainnet soon)
👏 The first zkDEX built using the @LuminaDEX SDK (sdk.luminadex.com/)
Nice work @gizmolab_ devs 🎉

#zk can solve this by not allowing anyone to have all your info at the same time. Only the part they need. IE to prove you are over 18. @MinaProtocol can do this!

27 years ago Hal Finney lit the spark for zk proofs. His genius inspires Mina’s 22KB blockchain, verifying computation at scale with privacy. Good to remember and honor our origins.

Back in Dec we shared the o1Roadmap.
A lot has changed since then — for o1Labs, Mina, and the broader landscape. This post looks back on that roadmap: what’s been delivered, what’s ongoing, and what’s evolved. Read the update 👉 o1labs.org/blog/roadmap-upda…

Sorry to break it to you, but ZK is for so much more than just privacy and scaling.
Mina is a programmable ‘Proof of Everything’

We need to release our stockpile of unused AstraZeneca vaccines now. In India alone, almost 350,000 COVID-19 cases were reported today. When people in India and elsewhere desperately need help, we can't let vaccines sit in a warehouse, we need to get them where they'll save lives

The unintended consequences of PoW consensus mechanisms are contributing to climate change.
We urge the #blockchain & #cryptocurrency communities to take a stand and adopt less energy-intensive consensus mechanisms. #ClimateStrike #ProofofStake
