Aligned announced their Genesis Drop earlier this week, inviting eligible members of the Mina community to participate. The response has exceeded expectations, with an overwhelming number of Mina wallet registrations (Mina’s community is the biggest registered community so far!).
This is the first event for the ecosystem where message signing has been a requirement. For many users, the registration process involves connecting their Auro wallet. For Ledger users who wish to participate in the Aligned Genesis Drop, the @alignedlayer team has rolled out a manual signing solution which requires importing your seed phrase to https://t.co/eWKYH6OJ8R. As always, be careful and do your own research when working with seed phrases and private keys! It is recommended that users who opt to use this method move their funds from all accounts with the same seed phrase to a fresh Ledger with a new seed phrase before completing Aligned’s registration.
Meanwhile, @MinaFoundation is exploring alternate workarounds and actively communicating with the Ledger team to develop a robust, long-term fix. While delivering a comprehensive signing capability will require additional time to ensure it is done properly, it will set the ecosystem up for success in the long term.
Thanks to the Aligned team for their swift action, and the community for your ongoing support. These challenges help drive us to become a stronger, more resilient ecosystem. Onwards and upwards!
Mina Foundation and Orochi Network Partner to Advance zkDatabase Solution
@MinaFoundation has formed a strategic partnership with @OrochiNetwork, following their Mina Navigators grant, to develop zkDatabase – an innovative off-chain storage solution for zkApps.
The collaboration focuses on bridging enterprise needs with zero knowledge tech, offering efficient data verification while maintaining privacy. zkDatabase stands out as one of the first off-chain data solutions in the Mina ecosystem, featuring full support for Kimchi proofs and Pickles recursion.
The partnership will enable verifiable data solutions across multiple sectors including FinTech, IoT, Healthcare, and AI/ML, while addressing key challenges in client-side proving and data retrieval for distributed storage applications.
Joaquin Lopez, Governance Analyst at @MinaFoundation, has shared an updated proposal to upgrade the Mina Improvement Proposal (MIP) process.
Incorporating earlier community feedback, this proposal introduces changes to the MIP process to make protocol decision-making more transparent, effective, and community-aligned.

SingularityNET and Mina Foundation Forge Strategic Partnership in Decentralized AI
@SingularityNET, a founding member of the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance, has partnered with @MinaFoundation to advance decentralized Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) with a focus on privacy and security.
The collaboration integrates SingularityNET’s AI infrastructure with Mina’s zero knowledge tech and aims to develop AGI-powered decision-making agents for decentralized governance, creating a more secure and privacy-preserving AI ecosystem.
Both organizations will explore joint funding initiatives through programs like Deep Funding and Navigators to support developers building innovative, interoperable AI models across blockchain platforms.
