Odaily Mina Protocol announced on its official blog that it has partnered with Celestia to bring the first modular Decentralization data availability (DA) solution to the Mina ecosystem, and it is reported that the related technology is supported by o1Labs, and by introducing a more long data availability solution, developers can increase the potential of zkApps.

According to official information, Bitcoin's native execution layer QEO Protocol has joined forces with StarkWare, zk. Link, Mina Foundation, and o1Labs have announced the formation of the L2O Alliance, dedicated to bringing intrinsic security, internet scale, and interoperability to Bitcoin on-chain applications and Layer 2 solutions. It is reported that the L2O Alliance aims to set standards for high-trust applications and Bitcoin Layer 2. Leveraging Bitcoin's liquidity and security and zero-knowledge proofs, developers will be able to build more network-effective Layer 2 applications. The L2O standard covers privacy, scalability, composability, and compatibility with Bitcoin. In addition, the consortium is developing tools and resources for deploying Layer 2 and enabling smart contract-like functionality on the Bitcoin chain by harmonizing standards between solutions, guaranteeing permissionless interoperability between applications.

PANews reported on April 4 that the Mina Foundation said on the X platform that the Devnet upgrade date of the lightweight blockchain protocol Mina is scheduled for April 9. Mina's Devnet upgrade is the final milestone ahead of Berkeley's major upgrade, bringing simpler ZK programmability and other key features to mainnet. Here's the full schedule: April 2: Release of the Archive Node Migration Tool. Archive node operators can initiate an initial archive node migration. April 3: Release of the Build with detailed instructions, marking the beginning of the node upgrade. April 9: Devnet upgrade, operators should prepare to transition their nodes to the Berkeley release.

PANews news on January 4, according to the official blog, the lightweight Blockchain protocol Mina Protocol plans to deploy the Berkeley upgrade this year. The upgrade will bring performance enhancements, leveraging Mina's design without compromising scalability or decentralization. With the advent of fully ZK-enabled smart contracts on Mainnet, an unlimited number of infrastructure and application improvements are possible, and the Berkeley upgrade also includes performance improvements such as slot time reduction, validator optimization, and more.

PANews news on December 24, the market showed that ACA broke through $0.1 and is now at $0.1127, up 43.81% in 24 hours. MINA broke through $1.1 and is now trading at $1.13, up 26.82% in 24 hours.

Golden Finance reported that Mina Protocol launched Cohort 3, a community-managed innovation fund, which will provide 2 million MINA grants to provide ZK developers and entrepreneurs in the Mina ecosystem with the necessary resources, including grants and mentorship, to help turn developers' ideas and projects into commercial businesses.

The Mina Foundation, a nonprofit that provides services for the zero-knowledge (ZK) blockchain Mina protocol, announced that its board of directors has appointed Chief Operating Officer (COO) Kurt Hemecker as the company's CEO, and founder Evan Shapiro continues to serve as the foundation's chairman and advisor. In his role as CEO, Hemecker brings more than two decades of experience as a major player in Web2 and Web3.

By participating in RFC discussions and submitting proposals, community members can not only contribute to shaping Mina's vision, but also receive funding to make it happen. Examples include token standards, zkOracles, data availability layers, new o1js features, and more.

Odaily Mina Protocol announced in its "Westworld Mission 2.0" update that Epoch 2 testing has been successfully completed. During this phase, network performance testing continued, and 200 additional nodes were up and running for 96 hours. During testing, two critical vulnerabilities were identified and the team is working on them. Next in the testing of Epoch 3, the deployment of ZK will continue and will introduce more complexity. This series of tests will prepare the way for the introduction of ZK on the Mina mainnet.

Mina Protocol announced on the X platform that the testnet has completed Epoch 2, network performance testing continues to make progress, and node operators are helping to ensure that the protocol is ready for major upgrades, which will bring easier ZK programmability to the Mina mainnet.
