Mina Protocol - The ZK-Native Blockchain
What are smart contracts and how do they fit into the world of zero knowledge?
In part three, of this video series, we break down a type of ZK proof being used to build privacy-preserving applications on blockchains - zkApps.
1️⃣ Watch part one to learn the differences between zk-SNARKs and zk-STARKs.
2️⃣ Watch part two to learn about zkRollups

What is Mina?
Mina is the world's lightest blockchain powered by zero knowledge proofs. Rather than apply brute computing force, Mina uses advanced cryptography and recursive zk-SNARKs to design an entire blockchain of about 22kb, the size of a couple of tweets. It is the first layer-1 to enable efficient implementation and easy programmability of zero knowledge smart contracts (zkApps). With its unique privacy features and ability to connect to any website, Mina is building a private gateway between the real world and crypto-and the secure, democratic future we all deserve.
