Mina’s Technology
Mina is a layer one protocol designed to deliver on the original promise of blockchain — true decentralization, scale and security. But rather than apply brute computing force, Mina uses advanced cryptography and recursive zk-SNARKs.

Paul Steckler
Protocol Engineer, O(1) Labs
"Programming languages matter. O(1)'s choice of OCaml as its primary development language means it can build features faster and more reliably than with other languages in common use, and still obtain a high level of performance."
Our Culture
It's hard to quantify, but it's not hard to see: in any community, culture is everything. It's the values that drive us. It's how we see the world and how we show up. Culture is who we are and becomes what we create.

Above all, we respect each other. That's why we stand for equality and fairness. Why we're committed to decentralization. And why we strive to always be inclusive and accessible.
Curiosity
It's our obsession to understand and solve. Our attraction to big questions and impossible problems. Our love of collaboration and exploration. It's our imagination, at work.
Excellence
We demand the best of ourselves. Elegant solutions. Symphonic systems. Technical beauty. We're committed to creating tech people can depend on. We enjoy the process and deliver results.
Openness
We're all about being there for our community. Empowering people with helpful information. Sharing where we are. Owning our mistakes. And serving our vision with humility.
