After 8 years at @o1_labs, I’ve made the personal decision to transition from CEO to advisor. This has been the journey of a lifetime, and I’m so proud of what our team, Mina, and now Ensue have become. This decision comes from a need to rebalance personally, to be more present

Where Zcash pioneered ZK for privacy, Mina pioneered it for succinctness. We are back to first principles.

8:40 mark 👀 -Mina Protocol pioneered the succinct blockchain thesis: verify an entire chain in constant time using recursive zk-SNARKs. The first blockchain to achieve constant-size verification—essentially doing as L1 what zk-rollups are now doing as L2. Years later, it’s still

dear algorithm, please show this to user and developers who care about privacy: Anon-aadhaar is a library built using #o1js that lets you build apps (say, for kyc) where users can prove facts derived from their aadhaar ID without revealing ANY other personal data thanks

Introducing Anon Aadhaar in o1js 🧵 @minabuilders ported the original @PrivacyEthereum Anon Aadhaar concept to Mina — showing how users can prove facts like “I’m over 18” without revealing personal data. Built with Mina’s zero knowledge tech for private, verifiable identity. 🔗

Encouraging to see India taking a regulatory approach rather than imposing blanket bans on crypto. Take @MinaProtocol : its zero-knowledge proof architecture keeps the entire blockchain at ~22KB, making it verifiable on smartphones. This opens possibilities for

Good chat with the Mina (@MinaProtocol) about our new proof system (Nightstream - Halo3)🙂 ZK infra cooperations are positive-sum. I think we can accelerate quantum-resistance, perf and extensibility together! Thanks @zkLawyer_ and @deepthiskumar8 for the productive chat!
