Highlights/Stats Testworld was the largest Proof of Stake testnet outside of ETH 2.0 with 4.6K participants and 1.2k concurrently connected to the network. 12.6K total challenges submitted, racking up to 20M testnet points. Participation resulted in 265 new Genesis Founding Members bringing the community to a total of 663 members for the launch of […]
As Mina's preferred institutional custodian, Finoa will support the expansion of Mina holders to include large financial institutions, corporate treasuries as well as venture capital, and pension and endowment funds.
Gauntlet's research report on Mina Protocol reveals that Mina's use of recursive zk-SNARKs improves scalability while retaining high resilience to 51% attacks.
Mina has launched its bug bounty program to uncover security vulnerabilities in preparation for mainnet launch.
Mina launches its adversarial testnet, "Testworld," to uncover vulnerabilities and ensure the network is resilient in the lead-up to mainnet.
In PLONK (considered as an interactive oracle proof), the prover sends the verifier several polynomials. They are evaluated at some k points during the course of the protocol. Of course, if we want zero-knowledge, we would require that those evaluations do not reveal anything about the proof's underlying witness.
Mina offers verifying vote counts as a future use case for zk-SNARKs to increase transparency and build trust in our electoral process.
Bixin Ventures and Three Arrows Capital lead the strategic investment round, furthering o1Labs' goal of ushering in a new era of accessibility for blockchain technology.
Joon Kim—former General Counsel at Terra, Vice President and Associate General Counsel at Lightyear Capital, and Assistant General Counsel and Vice President at Goldman Sachs—is welcomed to the o1Labs team.
Due to a trademark lawsuit filed by R3 in 2019, Coda has relaunched as Mina, the world's lightest blockchain powered by participants.
Adversarial testnet participants can earn up to 1% of the total supply in token rewards for uncovering network vulnerabilities, earn delegations from the Mina Foundation, and also be eligible for the Genesis token grants program.
Mina uses advanced cryptography and recursive zk-SNARKs to deliver true decentralization at scale.
