Sharing Mina Protocol’s near-term product priorities, as well as Mina Foundation’s role and focus within the Mina ecosystem
=nil; Foundation's contract to bring Mina Protocol's zk-SNARKs to Ethereum dapps represents a major milestone for privacy in the DeFi economy.
Mina and Polygon bring enhanced scalability, privacy, and verifiability to the DeFi economy.
Mina's zk-SNARKs solve a large scalability problem — the ever-growing blockchain, enabling anyone to run a node using commodity hardware, keeping the network inclusive and decentralized. However, creating those zk-SNARKs (aka proofs) is expensive but Mina’s Snarketplace fixes that.
Cryptocurrency’s scalability and privacy is one of the most pressing issues across any blockchain ecosystem — whether that’s Bitcoin, Ethereum, or a DeFi token. In this article we go over how zkApps solve the industry’s greatest challenges.
Legacy blockchains, such as Bitcoin or Dogecoin, face the problem of long waits to verify the entire chain due to their ever-growing size. However, with Mina, participants will be able to fully verify the network and transactions from their ordinary devices using recursive zero knowledge proofs, or zk-SNARKs.
In PLONK (considered as an interactive oracle proof), the prover sends the verifier several polynomials. They are evaluated at some k points during the course of the protocol. Of course, if we want zero-knowledge, we would require that those evaluations do not reveal anything about the proof's underlying witness.
Pickles is a new proof system and associated toolkit that is the first deployed SNARK capable of recursive composition with no trusted setup.
Mina uses advanced cryptography and recursive zk-SNARKs to deliver true decentralization at scale.
Mina makes it simple to run a node, build and join the community.
