“The era of AI living exclusively in browser-based chatbots is ending. This leap to on-device means we need to be hyper-focused on the privacy and security of user data.” CEO Kurt Hemecker on how AI and privacy-enhancing technologies (PET) will converge. 👀 → linkedin.com/pulse/from-cha…

I've been super impressed with the team developing the Rust node at Mina Foundation (httpz) 🪶. It's no small feat to reverse engineer a recursive ZK proof system written in OCaml. Once ready it'll be way easier to optimize MSM and make other improvements. github.com/openmina/openm… ...

zkVot is a great example of how Mina Protocol (httpz) 🪶's unique architecture enables scalable and verifiable applications. By using Mina as a settlement layer, we can ensure that elections are both secure and accessible to all. 🗳️

Yunus Gürlek | node101 would disagree zkVot in its current form can facilitate 1M people voting within a 15 second window, and the entire election can be counted (verified) in less than 5 hours. This is made possible by client side proof generation. Uses Mina as little as possible,

Over the last month, the Mina Foundation board has engaged with the Mina community to receive feedback. As a result of this feedback, we believe the best approach for the ecosystem is for o1Labs to lead and take ownership of the technical roadmap for Mina. Mina Foundation’s

To the Mina ecosystem, When I joined the community 3 years ago, the future was bright. o1Labs (httpz) had shipped mainnet the previous year, solidifying Mina’s role as pioneers in zero knowledge cryptography by launching the first production zk rollup AND designing the first

We've spent the last month interviewing community members from across the Mina ecosystem, and we hear you, loud and clear: Something has to change. So we're making changes to create clear areas of leadership and accountability within Mina, starting with the Foundation itself.

This week I am moving on from my role at Mina Foundation. I want to give a huge thanks to everyone that has been involved throughout the years. Mina started 8 years ago as an idea, and it's been incredible to see it grow into a larger ecosystem and community. I look forward to
