zkNoid is a provable gaming platform on Mina Protocol. Right now, the team is focused on launching a lottery game with real funds. This project also will integrate @zkon_network for VRF for fair selection. They plan to deploy the lottery game to mainnet this summer!
Enhancements to ZK Regex in o1js. Many tooling improvements are on the way to this powerful package which aims to enable the verification of text data within a ZKP framework. Developers can leverage ZK Regex to securely verify the presence of specific text patterns without compromising data privacy, opening the door to a wide range of use cases such as secure messaging, confidential document validation, and more.
Support for JSON web token (JWT) verification in o1js. JWTs are an open internet standard for representing claims securely between two parties. Because popular platforms (Apple, Facebook, Google, etc.) use OAuth/OpenID which rely on JWTs, this work sets the stage for onboarding new users to the Mina ecosystem (and crypto as a whole) by allowing them to access on-chain applications and services using their existing logins.

From the beginning, Mina Protocol was designed differently.
The mainnet launch in 2021 introduced a brand new lightweight blockchain that eliminates bloat, paving the way for low operating costs and unprecedented decentralization at scale.
This was thanks to a breakthrough in zero knowledge cryptography: a blockchain with its entire state inside a tiny proof of just a few kilobytes, that anyone could download and verify in milliseconds.
Now, the recent Berkeley upgrade extends these revolutionary ZK features to real-world applications. It empowers developers to build off-chain and verify on-chain for scale, customizability, cost-efficiency, and optional privacy.
Beyond scalability and privacy, Mina now can serve as a global database of verified statements that seamlessly interact with one another— a ‘Proof of Everything.’
More than just attesting to individual statements of facts, Mina’s true potential will be realized by those who use it to harness the power of one massive collaborative computation.
