The Mesa Upgrade introduces automated hard forks — a fundamental rethink of how Mina
upgrades.
Instead of coordinated downtime and manual intervention across hundreds of nodes, upgrades happen automatically. Each node prepares independently, switches over at the fork point, and keeps running.
This means:
✅ A dramatically simpler upgrade experience
✅ A more secure and decentralized process
This is one of five major improvements being delivered with the Mesa Upgrade.

🚨🗣️ Jamie Carragher on Real Madrid players attitude towards the referee after the Bayern Munich clash:
I’m not having Real Madrid players surrounding the referee and crying like they’ve been robbed, not after THEIR history in this competition.
Against Bayern Munich? Of all teams? Come on. That’s irony at its finest.
We’ve seen it for years, decisions, moments, ‘magic nights’ and suddenly now they want to play the victims? No chance. You can’t build a legacy on controversy and then complain when one call doesn’t go your way.
And the reaction? Embarrassing. Finger-pointing, shouting, losing control… that’s not greatness, that’s entitlement.
They should be the LAST club in Europe talking about injustice. Everyone else has been saying it for years now they’ve had a tiny taste of it, and they can’t handle it.”
Lots of behind-the-scenes work going into Mesa.
Optimizations like this cut our hardfork build pipeline ~55 → ~27 minutes and get fork packages ready in ~7 minutes. 💪
Price drop in $MINA over the past few years reflects market conditions, not the project.
$MINA still hasn’t seen a real alt season, while development of its unique tech never stopped. Few see this level as a rare, possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity before the market turns.
What does “world’s lightest blockchain” actually mean?
It means:
❌You don’t replay the entire history.
✅You verify one proof.
Accessible verification isn’t a slogan.
It’s Mina's architecture.

🚀 Mina’s Mesa Upgrade is coming 2026
• 90s block time
• Larger state for zkApps
• Higher event & account limits
• 100% community approval
Code freeze complete. Testnet strong.
Mainnet hard fork next.
Big step forward for $Mina. 🏔️

AI is breaking trust.. Mina can help rebuild it: easily verifiable blockchain + zero-knowledge proofs. Prove data integrity, credentials, and compliance without revealing sensitive info. Pair AI with zk proofs and you get automation with verifiability + privacy. $mina
ICYMI: Mesa Upgrade Update 👇
The Mesa hard fork codebase has been finalized and we're preparing to kick off Mesa Trail, the final coordinated testnet before mainnet deployment.

It may be a good time for ZK + Dating Apps to work together. Why?
> $6-12B market projected to $11-19B by 2030
> Catfishing with synthetic deepfakes
> Underage users slipping into adult spaces
> Banned user re-entry (easy account re-creation)
> Data leaks - e.g., TeaOnHer scandal
> People want some trust signals, but don’t want to share ID/photos/address widely
> @Tinder Japan partnering with @WorldCoin for age verification and proof-of-personhood using ZK proofs.
Done right, users wouldn’t even notice the ZK part.
This is the direction Mina was built for.
A blockchain that stays fully verifiable for individuals, runs locally, and treats privacy, decentralization, and self-sovereignty as non-negotiables — not trade-offs.
“Open” only matters if people can run and verify it themselves.
