ChainCatcher news, according to official sources, Mina Protocol announced yesterday that its fungible token standard has completed a security audit and is officially released. This standard allows developers to create and manage custom tokens on Mina, opening up new possibilities for applications such as real-world assets (RWA), on-chain gaming, and decentralized finance (DeFi). The standard has been reviewed by the security auditing company Veridise. The main features of the Mina fungible token standard include custom token creation, unique identifiers, supply control, transfer capabilities, and zkApp integration.

ChainCatcher news, the zero-knowledge proof public chain Mina Protocol announced a partnership with the modular blockchain project Celestia. The Mina ecosystem will integrate Celestia's modular decentralized data availability (DA) solution.It is reported that the integration project is led by the zk-SNARKs pioneer team Geometry Research, with technical support from o1Labs.In addition, by introducing Celestia's DA solution, Mina's zkApps will gain significant capability enhancements, especially in handling large-scale off-chain data, where the throughput of zkApps will see further improvements. This collaboration coincides with Mina's upcoming mainnet upgrade, which will bring a more user-friendly zkApp programming model, expected to significantly increase developer activity and the number of products in the Mina ecosystem.

Chain Catcher news, the lightweight blockchain Mina has officially launched the second phase of the zkApps Builders Program (ZBP) to support developers who want to build zkApp-related projects.It is reported that the zkApps Builders Program lasts for 11 weeks and will gather developers from different backgrounds to learn zero-knowledge programming and build zero-knowledge smart contracts (zkApp) on the Mina protocol. The selected 30 developers will receive hands-on technical support and have the opportunity for direct dialogue with cryptographers, developers, and community leaders from O(1) Labs. (source link)
