General Update
This quarter has been one of continued development for what we believe promises to be a significant year for Mina Protocol. Highlights from this past quarter include:
- Developer meet-ups held in Tel-Aviv, Istanbul, and Berlin with more than a dozen additional meetups planned across Europe, the Americas, and APAC in 2022.
- The Mina Foundation team was in full force during DevConnect 2022 in Amsterdam during April, as a lead sponsor of ETHAmsterdam as well as zkSummit 7.
- Strengthening of the Foundation and its ability to support the community with exceptional new hires across product, engineering, operations, marketing & community, developer relations and human resources.
- Top cryptocurrency exchanges Coinbase and Huobi added to the roster of reputable exchanges now listing MINA.
- Publication of the State of Zero Knowledge Report 2022 and its key findings, namely that 90.1% of respondents reported that cryptocurrencies using zero knowledge proofs are more attractive than ones that do not. Additionally, privacy is seen as the most important advantage of zero knowledge technology.
- Please visit the Mina Protocol blog for additional updates including developments from ecosystem partners O(1) Labs, =nil; Foundation, ChainSafe, OnTab, Aurowallet, Minanodes.info, Minaboard and Everstake.
