Chainsafe
Chainsafe who are working on reimplementing Mina from OCaml into Rust programming language are currently working on an MVP demo of a Mina node that can run in a browser. This is an important step to making Mina accessible from ordinary devices (eg mobile phones) which will increase decentralization and security.
Nil_Foundation
Nil Foundation are getting ever closer to the project implementation on the Mina-Ethereum
bridge. More progress was made on the auxiliary proof generation and verification, to prepare for the audit. They have also started to test a first @0xPolygon -based deployment of Mina’s state in-EVM. Where next? Solana/Mina Bridge? Well Solami sounds like a great name!
O(1) Labs
O(1) Labs have launched Berkeley QANet and is making progress on zkOracles, the tech to connect the internet to blockchain using HTTPs. To help software devs contribute to Mina’s proof systems, there’s also now extensive cryptographic documentation called the Mina Book.
