- Final step! Massive kudos to the teams working HARD to make this possible. zkApps on mainnet is an industry-first technical achievement Lots of work beyond the upgrade to improve performance and get products into people’s hands, but this is a huge stepAfter a successful upgrade of the testnet, Upgrade Mechanism Testing (UMT) has now concluded. Up next, participants from across the ecosystem will work together to upgrade Mina’s Devnet, the final step before the mainnet upgrade!
- Shoutout to each and every builder in the @MinaProtocol ecosystem who decided to go full-time building zkApps. in a year where ecosystems lost 15% of their full-time devs on avg, Mina grew over 100%... we're just getting started 🏗️🏗️🏗️
- Big things happening on @MinaProtocol !!!! 6 MILLION MINA tokens in grants available over the next 6 months 🏗️🏗️🏗️

- Just finished reading 'Friendly Ambitious Nerd' by @visakanv Can't remember a singular work of art that I've resonated with so deeply (on both a personal AND professional level). Was gonna send this in a DM, but figured I should start practicing 'reply game'. Fav snippets:
- zk-friendly minimal simple beautiful L1 from scratch. @VitalikButerin mentioned Mina while discussing the future of Ethereum! Proud to see him highlight the vision of a ZK-friendly, minimal, and elegant blockchain from scratch. Mina is exactly where it needs to be! Watch it here 👇👇
00:00 - zkIgnite Cohort 1 results are in... 83% of teams successfully delivered their projects to the @MinaProtocol community 🔥 Noteworthy bc 100% of the USDC grants (500k) were paid UPFRONT. MINA tokens were granted upon delivery, which was determined by community elector voting 🤌
