Mesa Trail: Upgraded successfully! ✅
This is the first public testnet simulating the complete hard fork process from Berkeley to Mesa - a huge milestone on the path to mainnet.
Alongside the community, we have been able to validate the automated upgrade process. With the Mesa Trail network now upgraded, the coming weeks will focus on testing Mesa functionality and gathering feedback ahead of the mainnet upgrade.
A huge shoutout to everyone who has supported the Road to Mesa so far! 🙏
Mesa Trail is a GO! ✅
The test network has been deployed, the first blocks have been produced, and Mesa Trail participants are preparing to kick off testing on Monday, June 1st! 🧱
The program aims to validate the automated upgrade process and all Mesa functionality under real network conditions, as well as gather valuable feedback ahead of the upcoming mainnet upgrade.

Big milestone for Mina.
This is far more than just an RFC now:
- working Treasury MVP
- independent audits completed
- Swiss regulatory alignment confirmed
- clear path toward decentralized governance after MESA
Mesa Trail is a GO 🎉
✅Code freeze complete
✅ Release candidate 4.0.0-rc1 tagged
✅ Preflight Mesa Testnet upgraded
✅ 12 dry runs completed
✅ Load & cluster testing succesful
After months of rigorous testing, we're ready to kick off the next phase in the Road to Mesa: MESA TRAIL!
Mesa Trail is the final testnet for the Mesa upgrade, designed to simulate the exact hard fork process —running from a Berkeley state to Mesa.
Bridges are only as strong as their weakest circuit.
We’re excited to share that Nori Bridge will soon undergo a comprehensive security audit by the experts at @zellic_io.
We’re not just bridging assets-we’re enabling truly trust-minimized interoperability 🔐.
Solis is the first DEX on @MinaProtocol mainnet (https://t.co/sx2gTj0ld6), powered by the @LuminaDEX SDK. 👏👏
Start swapping on Mina mainnet today. 🔄
Solis is built by the supreme devs at @gizmolab_ 🛠️
Lumina is Live on @MinaProtocol mainnet 🎉🎉
@LuminaDEX Protocol (https://t.co/5Mv7iByKKg) and SDK (https://t.co/CQ5ZauVYZe) are open for everyone to swap and build your own DEX!
The future of DeFi is bright💡
A ZK-provable camera built for a verifiable future—imagine photos you can actually trust!
We interviewed @roc_camera during our ZK photo verification deep dive, including our TouchGrass social image game, which we demoed at DevConnect.
As AI blurs reality, could ZK provide the answers?
Watch the full interview below:
2025 o1js recap:
- 10 releases (2.3.0 -> 2.12.0) + 3.0 prerelease for mesa

- 1,676 commits to main alone across 20 unique contributors
- 33 features added, 9 bugs fixed, 8 changes shipped
not bad for a “niche” zk typescript sdk. 2026 we build even more❤️
Honored to share that o1Labs ranked #6 on this year’s Talent Titans Top 100 list!
This recognition reflects the people-first culture our team has built, and we’re grateful to @calyptus_web3 for highlighting workplaces pushing Web3 forward.
Mesa Testnet is now LIVE.
Mina’s next major upgrade enters its first public phase today.
This is a pre-flight testnet opened early so the community can begin testing Mesa’s new features.

It’s getting impossible to tell what’s real online — and that’s a massive problem. Proof-attached media is the only path forward.
TouchGrass is a proof-of-concept from @o1_labs showing what verified media could look like.
If you’re working on authenticity, sensor data, or proof-attached content, Mina is the perfect lightweight, neutral settlement layer for these proofs to anchor on.
Reach out — let’s solve this together. 💪
Proof of image authenticity in action 📸
@o1coby presented our image authenticity work + TouchGrass demo at ZK Real World Summit by @zk_monk today.
Real-world ZK use cases are here. The future is verifiable.
📽️ Catch up on the latest from the @MinaProtocol ecosystem, hear from our new co-CEOs @deepthiskumar8 and @zkLawyer_, and see how we're building the future of ZK.
Mina Protocol is BACK, y'all!

I’ve seen some discussion on X about recent exchange changes affecting @MinaProtocol, so I’d like to provide an update to the community.
Yesterday @Coinbase removed the MINA/USDT trading pair (USD/USDC pairs remain active). And in mid-October, @BingXOfficial delisted MINA. We had no advance notice of these changes, but we're taking this seriously--not only by following up with Coinbase and BingX:
In active conversations with @binance to improve liquidity and staking rates.
Evaluating new DEX options like @HyperliquidX and the recently announced Solis DEX, now live on @ZekoLabs testnet (https://t.co/wWBYy0eFj0).
Building out our in-house expertise in this area.
At the same time, we're staying focused on what drives long-term value, such as:
🛠️ Tech support for @ZekoLabs and other ecosystem partners
🎁 New features like native prover access (thanks @silvana_zk for the request!)
📣 Amplifying ecosystem partner milestones
🎇 Preparing for the Mesa upgrade
Bottom line: @o1_Labs is actively engaging with exchanges to improve liquidity while focusing on Mina's long-term health. I also want to give a shout out to @MinaFoundation for all the work they did to support MINA exchange listings over these past few years, largely a thankless job. 🙏
As always, we welcome feedback and suggestions. If you have exchange contacts or liquidity ideas, please reply, DM me, or contact anyone on the @o1_Labs team.
The Zeko zkRollup Bridge to and from Mina is now live for community testing
This marks the final major engineering milestone before mainnet. Be early: join the Zeko Discord to access the Bridge https://t.co/llXREH9AhO
