Taipei, are you ready to explore the power of zero knowledge?
Join members of the Mina Ecosystem at this year’s Taipei Blockchain Week for a series of free workshops, talks, and social events you won’t want to miss.
Hack with Mina at Taipei Blockchain Week
Build your own zkApps using o1js for a chance to earn one of three bounty prizes totaling 5,000 USD. This is a great chance to try zkApps out for yourself.
Winners will also be offered zkNavigators Badges to earn 8,000 MINA monthly grants for continuing to build and complete monthly challenges. Non-winners can also be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Other Events
There’ll also be plenty of opportunities to get to know Mina protocol, whether you have questions about ZK or just want to hang out and pick up some Mina swag. So don’t miss out – see the ecosystem events below and join us for some of the best talks, workshops, and networking opportunities at Taipei Blockchain Week. We can’t wait to see you there!

About Mina Protocol
Mina Protocol is being incubated by O(1) Labs, the leader in zk-SNARKs and verifiable computation. Mina Protocol, the world’s lightest blockchain, provides a foundation for the decentralized digital economy (Web 3.0), by affording all participants fully P2P, permissionless access to the chain, from any device. By utilizing recursive zk-SNARKs, the Mina blockchain always stays the same size — about 20 kilobytes (the size of a few tweets). Recursive zk-SNARKs allow nodes to rapidly share and update proof of the correct blockchain state across the network. This breakthrough application of zk-SNARKs solves the issues of scalability and high barrier to entry for nodes that have plagued legacy blockchains to-date. By making it easier for nodes to participate, Mina improves decentralization and therefore security of the network. The Mina blockchain can be easily accessed from any device, including phones and browsers, and can be seamlessly integrated into new decentralized applications (dapps).
