TechFlow News — Mina's zero-knowledge smart contracts (zkApps) are currently being tested on the QANetwork Berkeley testnet. This marks the next milestone toward enabling easily programmable smart contracts on Mina’s mainnet. Mina is poised to become the first Layer-1 blockchain with efficient and developer-friendly zero-knowledge smart contracts.
Mina, a lightweight blockchain cryptocurrency protocol developed by O(1) Labs—a leading team in the field of verifiable computing—uses cryptography and recursive zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) to design a full blockchain that maintains a constant size of approximately 22KB (roughly the size of a few tweets), enabling extremely fast verification of the current blockchain state.
