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.

ChainCatcher news, the lightweight blockchain protocol Mina Protocol has announced the latest updates on Testworld Mission 2.0 and the progress of major upgrades to the Mina mainnet.It is reported that the Mina development team O(1) Labs has released the first Berkeley candidate version RC1, which incorporates all the fixes and findings from the previous Testworld 2.0 accelerated version; the preparation work for Track 4, aimed at replicating processes in a network environment and designing upgrade mechanisms, is still ongoing; closed testing with exchanges and custodians has begun and will continue throughout Track 4.

ChainCatcher message, according to the official blog post, 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 full support of ZK smart contracts on the mainnet, an infinite number of infrastructure and application improvements become possible. The Berkeley upgrade also includes performance improvements such as reduced slot time and validator optimizations.

ChainCatcher news, Mina Protocol announced on social media that the protocol will undergo a significant upgrade, planning to introduce ZK smart contracts to the mainnet, aiming to greatly increase the products built using Mina.The upgrade will support zkApp programmability using o1js and enhance security and efficiency through the new proof system Kimchi, while eliminating excess rewards (a temporary incentive measure to increase staking adoption in the early stages of the mainnet). Additionally, Testworld Mission 2.0 is preparing for the upgrade.
