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 peopleโs hands, but this is a huge step
After 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 Minaโs 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 ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ
zkIgnite COHORT 3

Mina's mainnet upgrade is COMING SOON.
If you've been waiting on the sidelines OR you're choosing where to build your zk project... get involved.
Over 160 zkApp and dev tooling proposals submitted as part of #zkIgnite on @MinaProtocol
If youโre wondering whoโs building during the bear, look no further.

It's taken a while, but bringing zkApps to mainnet is a huge feat.
massive props to the teams who have been working on this for years.
just the beginning.
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:
. @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 ๐๐
zkIgnite Cohort 1 results are in...
83% of teams successfully delivered their projects to the @MinaProtocol community ๐ฅ
Noteworthy bc 100% of the USDC grants (500k) were paid UPFRONT. MINA tokens were granted upon delivery, which was determined by community elector voting ๐ค
