The Magic of Recursive ZK Proofs

A simplified 🧵 on how they work:

1/

Earlier this year, @MinaFoundation announced its collaboration with Mirae Asset Financial Group, a global investment firm with over $600bn assets under management.

Development work on a PoC to integrate Mina’s ZK tech with Mirae’s tokenized securities platform has officially begun. Read on for a thorough explainer of the partnership 🧵

You can now produce & prove blocks with transactions on Devnet using the latest 0.8 version of the Rust-based Node for Mina!

The Mina Asia Tour Continues

Hundreds of developers, 3 official events, and 1 great ecosystem!

Tokyo 🇯🇵✅
Seoul 🇰🇷✅

Seoul Recap🧵:

The @ETHGlobal Online Hackathon is in full swing, with hackers across the globe building some of the most technologically advanced projects in the blockchain space 🚧

From games to DEX’s to voting platforms and beyond.. The sky's the limit ☁️

Oh, and the best news? 8 of the 24 projects that checked in last week shared they are building on Mina - that’s ⅓ of the teams! 🫡

The padlock in your browser (https) is essential.

But, https doesn’t confirm if the profile is a real person (or a bot), or if an image was generated by AI.

Mina’s vision for the internet is ‘httpz,’ where ZKPs verify the truthfulness of the data you consume online.

We live in an outdated model where we trust individuals, businesses, etc., to provide us with information, but we need guarantees (the cryptographic kind, of course).

Mina is developing the technology to enable developers to build verifiable applications, making the internet a safer place for everyone and restoring trust.

Explore the power of mass deliberation for Mina Governance!

Deliberation is a powerful tool that can help overcome individual cognitive biases and challenge ways of group thinking, all while building trust among participants 🧠

Illuminate - August Town Hall https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1ynKODearanGR

Your chain grows exponentially, mine stays lightweight and accessible forever.

We are not the same.

The August edition of Illuminate, a monthly town hall hosted by @MinaFoundation, is this Wednesday at 3pm UTC!

Most of us have played with Legos at some point, right?

Well, proof composability allows you to mix & match and build complex systems out of smaller, Lego-like building blocks (proofs!).

This superpower is only possible on Mina!

Full ZK composability is enabled by recursion and Mina’s “Proof of Everything,” you can verify any computation in the chain’s history.

Developers can access all of these proofs and build upon or re-use them like Lego bricks supercharging their applications!

For example, you can prove eligibility to use a permissioned DEX by combining proofs from an identity application and a KYC application that you’ve already used before. Proofs aren’t just static, they combine to build a global database of true statements— a “Proof of Everything.”

Mina Protocol: One proof to verify them all.

Mina’s Fungible Token Standard is here!

After concluding an audit by @VeridiseInc, the standard is ready-to-use to create and manage custom tokens on Mina Protocol.

This standard allows for minting, burning, and transferring tokens, adding a new layer of functionality to the Mina ecosystem and paving the way for more complex use cases.

If you’re tokenizing assets, building a DEX, or creating in-game currencies, this fungible token standard will help bring your project to life!

Let’s build the future together on Mina!

Mina Ecosystem adds Copper as an Institutional Custodian for Professional Investors

@CopperHQ, a leader in digital asset custody, collateral management, and prime services, has enabled custody and staking support for MINA.

With a focus on custody and collateral management, Copper has built the standard for institutional digital asset infrastructure. Central to Copper’s multi-award-winning technology is ClearLoop, which enables clients to manage collateral and settle trades in near real-time across multiple exchanges, while mitigating counterparty risk and increasing capital efficiency.

This integration expands options for institutional clientele to participate in the Mina community. Institutional users of Copper’s infrastructure benefit from a secure solution for managing their digital assets and a reliable staking service to accrue rewards, encouraging broader adoption of zero knowledge technology.

Ecosystem growing ✅
