A
So
hello,
everyone,
thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us
today.
My
name
is
natasha
and
I'm
the
community
manager
at
o1
labs,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
exciting
news
to
share
with
you
today
during
this
call,
which
will
last
around
30
minutes.
So
let's
take
a
quick
look
at
the
agenda
and
introduce
our
event
speakers.
A
B
Hi
everyone
good
morning
and
yeah.
Thank
you
so
much
natasha.
I
realized
that
some
of
you
it's
very
early
and
others
it's
very
late.
So
thank
you
for
joining
us.
We
do
have
some
really
big
news
to
share
today
before
we
share
it.
I
just
want
to
give
a
little
bit
of
background
so
last
year
in
2019
we
actually
got
sued
by
r3,
and
at
that
point
we
decided
to
give
up
the
coda
name.
So
we
could
continue
to
focus
on
building
our
technology.
B
The
community
has
helped
us
tremendously
in
this
process.
Many
of
you
participated
in
a
survey
as
well
as
one-on-one
conversations
at
the
end
of
2019,
and
this
gave
us
some
really
big
insights,
so
just
like
with
our
technical
and
community
challenges,
you
all
gave
your
time
and
you
helped
us
forge
this
new
path
and
with
that
we're
very
excited
and
proud
to
introduce
you
to
something
that
has
been
in
development
for
over
a
year.
B
We're
very
excited
about
mina.
It
combines
the
technical
simplicity
of
our
work,
referencing
principles
in
mathematics
and
design
such
as
minimums
and
minimalism,
with
a
friendly
approachable
feeling.
Mina
sounds
both
like
an
innovative
new
technology,
and
it
also
sounds
like
the
name
of
a
good
friend.
B
The
process
of
deciding
on
a
new
name
was
an
important
moment
for
us.
It
was
a
chance
for
us
to
take
time
and
to
really
listen
to
our
community
and
to
understand
what
makes
us
special
and
to
commit
to
growing
in
a
way
that
strengthens
the
community
and
preserves
our
values
not
just
to
grow
fast
and
at
all
costs,
but
to
really
continue
to
return
to
who
we
are,
what
we
stand
for
and
what
makes
us
special
and
stand
out.
B
B
We
hope
that
these
defined
values
will
help
us
build
a
foundation
for
a
really
strong,
open
source
community
that
others
will
want
to
join
and
tell
their
friends
about
and
that
all
of
you
will
be
proud
to
be
a
part
of
and
if
you've
been
part
of
our
test
net
community,
which
I
see
so
many
of
you
who
I've
chatted
with
and-
and
I
know
that
you've
been
around
for
quite
some
time.
You
know
that
we're
already
living
by
these
values
in
our
last
two
test
nets-
pickles
and
sandbox.
B
We
recognize
the
members
of
our
community
who
demonstrate
these
values
every
day
and
you
can
see
their
names
here
them
and
many
other
members
like
them
are
really
the
backbone
of
the
community
and
they
represent
what
makes
mina
special
so
we'll
continue
to
focus
on
our
values
and
to
build
a
strong
culture
for
our
open
source
community,
and
today,
I'd
like
to
ask
for
your
help
in
that
work,
to
continue
to
uphold
these
values
and
live
by
them.
Every
day.
B
So
you
can
see
like
some
great
hash
patterns
in
the
background
throughout,
as
well
as
many
other
nasty
technology,
but
they're
also
combined
with
human
elements
like
the
set
of
hands
that
you
see,
technology
is
built
by
and
for
people
right.
It's
a
collaboration
between
person
and
machine
and
mina
showcases.
This
blend.
B
And
twitter
and
medium
will
be
bolder.
It'll
be
easier
to
stop
and
recognize,
as
you
scroll
through
updates
on
your
phone
and
your
emails,
which
go
just
to
our
community,
will
be
a
place
to
feel
the
vibrant,
exciting
designs
of
mina
mina
is
poised
to
continue
its
rapid
growth
and
to
stand
out
amongst
other
crypto
projects
with
its
values,
bold
design
and
robust
community.
B
C
Hey
everyone
thanks,
claire
and
natasha,
for
taking
us
off
yeah
excited
excited
to
be
talking
to
everyone
today.
So
just
to
start
off,
I
wanted
to
kind
of
take
everyone
through
a
little
bit
of
the
history
of
owen
labs
and
coda
amina
evan,
and
I
is
kind
of
a
silly
picture.
Evan
and
I
that's
me
on
the
left
I
have.
I
don't
know,
I'm.
C
Different
hair-
I
have
known
each
other
for
for
a
long
time
and
as
teenagers
in
high
school
hanging
out
in
the
library,
I
guess
and
we've
we've
since
then.
You
know
always
been
friends,
always
been
working
on
technology
projects
together
and
even
on
crypto,
so
we
were
back
then
you've
been
working
on
crypto
projects.
You
know
slacking
off
in
school.
C
B
C
Of
I
guess,
close
trust,
and
you
know
relationship
as
friends
has
really,
I
think,
shaped
a
lot
of
what
we've
been
doing
with
own
labs
and
and
and
with
mina
previously
got
it
yeah.
So
I
you
know,
after
after
going
to
school
and-
and
you
know
pursuing
our
kind
of
our
own
past
for
a
while
evan
and
I
both
found
ourselves
in
california-
and
we
started
working
together
more
seriously
on
kind
of
side
projects.
Sorry
about
that.
At
the
time
I
was,
let's
go
one
sec.
C
C
Really
really,
you
know
applying
it
to
solve
like
the
actual
problems
that
were
being
faced.
So
eventually
we,
you
know,
decided
to
start
a
company.
That's
me
and
that's
brandon,
who
probably
a
lot
of
you,
know
from
discord
in
our
first
office,
and
you
know
our
our
vision
around
what
we
wanted,
coda
and
and
now
meena
to
be
really
started
to
cook
here,
and
you
know
just
to
kind
of
make
it
super
explicit.
C
What
is
that
vision
it's
to
to
try
and
use
cryptography
and
cryptocurrency
as
a
tool
to
to
help
to
build
computer
systems
to
put
people
in
control
of
their
digital
lives?
Because
you
know
so
much
of
our
interactions
with
computers
are
really
not
on
our
own
terms,
they're
on
the
terms
of
the
companies
that
you
know
create
the
programs
that
we're
interacting
with
and-
and
our
mission
of
you
know
with
with
mina-
is
in
service
of
this-
this
this
vision
to
kind
of
build
verifiable
computing
systems
in
service
of
that
goal.
C
So
I
want
to
run
through
kind
of
a
concrete
picture
of
how
amina
fits
into
this
broader
vision,
because
I
know
things
when
they
get
a
little
abstract.
You
know
it's
can
be
hard
to
sort
of
see
how
how
does
this
the
day-to-day
kind
of
fit
into
that?
So
imagine
the
following
situation.
Imagine
your
computer
user,
the
zoo
at
your
desk
and
you
know
you're
you're
on
the
brow
you're
on
your
browser,
you're
surfing
the
web.
One
thing
that's
really
great.
Is
you
can
use
an
open
source
browser?
C
So
that
means
you
can
look
at
the
code.
You
know
if
you're
using
firefox
or
chromium,
you
can
look
at
the
code
and
you
can
know
exactly
what
that
browser
is
doing.
You
can
know
it's
not
doing
any
funny
business,
but
unfortunately,
that
verifiability
or
that
that
account
that
kind
of
visibility
into
what
software
is
doing
really
ends
at
the
boundary
of
your
computer.
So
as
soon
as
you
start
talking
to
servers,
you
know
these
these
little
demons
that
you
see
here.
D
D
Izzy
so
yeah,
as
he
said,
here's
where
mina
comes
into
the
picture.
If
we're
going
to
do
this,
we're
going
to
need
a
platform
for
snarks
and
the
other
latest
cryptography,
we
need
a
place
where
collaboration
can
happen
safely
and
like
a
digital
world
and
we'll
need
this
whole
technology
to
be
accessible
to
everyone.
D
B
D
Very
succinct
and
it
works
on
everyone's
devices.
In
particular,
it's
not
proof
of
work
with
just
a
small
proof.
Everyone
can
get
full
access
to
the
chain.
Elegant.
The
technology
is
very
straightforward.
The
it's
it's,
I
hope
fairly
understandable,
especially
versus
the
complexity.
We've
been
starting
to
see
with
other
chains,
while
still
you
know
solving
the
complicated
problems
in
cryptocurrency
in
a
very
elegant,
straightforward
way.
D
It's
it's
very
democratic.
We
want
to
put
users
first,
we
want
to
take
what
we've
done
with
genesis
so
far
and
going
forward
go
even
farther
with
that,
so
really
trying
to
include
everyone
in
this
technology
at
the
deepest
levels,
all
the
way
down
to
operating
the
software,
and
we
want
this
tech
to
be
impactful.
E
Hey
everyone
great
to
be
here
good
morning,
good
afternoon,
good
night
to
all
of
you
all
around
the
world.
So
despite
this
great
vision,
it's
fair
to
say
that
there's
many
teams
in
across
cryptocurrency,
starting
with
bitcoin
that
are
going
for
similar
goals
and
aspirations
so
in
that
world.
Why,
meanwhile,
doesn't
matter-
and
we
believe
there's
two
reasons-
the
first
one
is
that
we
believe
mina
brings
about
a
unique
design,
that's
going
to
become
the
winning
blockchain
design.
E
So
if
you
look
at
other
projects
across
the
space,
fundamentally,
everyone
is
making
a
trade-off
between
two
main
axes.
One
of
them
is
about
throughput
or
scalability,
and
then
the
other
is
about
decentralization
now
this.
This
is
a
highly
contested
and,
unfortunately,
not
not
an
area
with
a
lot
of
quantifiable
objective
metrics,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
you
look
at
any
any
blockchain,
that's
been
around
for
a
while.
E
You
tend
to
see
this
trade-off
access
where
the
more
throughput
you
have
the
less
decentralization
you
have,
and
that
is
because
of
an
economic
relationship
that
each
blockchain
brings
to
the
space
with
mina.
However,
what
we've
done
with
a
succinct
blockchain
in
that
the
chain
always
stays
the
same
size
and
at
a
tiny
size,
means
that
no
matter
how
much
throughput
you
put
through
the
chain
in
terms
of
whether
transactions
or
applications
that
you
run
on
top
of
it,
it
always
stays
the
same
size
and
hence
it
always
brings
about
the
same
levels
of
decentralization.
E
This
also
shows
you
the
power
of
snarks,
which
not
only
enable
this
unique
notion
of
assisting
clock
chain,
but
also
brings
about
mina
a
second
advantage,
which
is
about
snaps,
so
snaps,
which
stands
for
snark-powered
applications
are
the
application
framework.
That's
that's
running
on
top
of
coda
and
on
top
of
what
many
of
the
blockchains
enable
with
dapps,
it
brings
a
key,
unique
benefit
which
we
think
has
been
holding
the
space
back
for
a
while,
and
that
is
basically
being
able
to
use
off-chain
data
in
a
private
manner.
E
E
So
this
obviously
goes
into
a
defy
or
decent
finance
space
which,
as
I'm
sure
many
of
you
know,
has
been
driving
a
lot
of
mind
share
in
the
in
the
crypto
space
lately,
but
unfortunately,
one
way
or
the
other
when
you
look
at
it
most
of
the
default
applications
today
are
kind
of
like
toys
for
rich
crypto
insiders
right.
There
is
not
a
lot
of
mainstream
audience
that
can
benefit
from
these
applications.
E
E
So
if
you
want
to
take
a
loan,
basically,
you
can
say
hey.
I
have
a
credit
score
for
those
in
the
u.s
and
a
couple
other
countries
around
the
world
that
passes
a
criteria.
But
you
don't
know
what
my
score
is,
which
means
that
you
know
your
information
stays
private
and
you
no
longer
have
to
give
a
lot
of
data
to
other
vendors
and
financial
companies
around
the
world.
E
We're
super
excited
by
this
vision
and
by
what
sort
of
products
that
will
be
built
beyond
this
and
we
ultimately
think
snaps
living
on
coda,
deliver
on
and
winning
blockchain
design,
for
the
reasons
that
we
covered.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
transfer
it
over
to
bijan
to
talk
about
our
product
roadmap.
F
Thank
you,
I'm
ray
so
before
we
talk
about
the
product
world
map,
I'd
like
to
give
you
guys
a
bit
of
a
context
around
the
framework
that
we've
had
on
thinking
about
the
product
roadmap.
We
think
that
there
is
this
feedback
loop
that
exists
between
decentralization
use
cases
and
the
more
decentralization
you
have
the
more
use
cases
that
emerge,
some
of
them
earlier
discussed
and
the
more
use
cases
we
see,
there's
more
desire
to
make
the
protocol
more
decentralized
and
we
initially
started
really
paying
attention
to
the
decentralization
part.
F
We
think
that
this
whole
engine
will
start
working.
So
now
that
we've
have
an
idea
of
like
what
the
framework
looks
like
at
a
high
level.
We
can
talk
more
about
the
actual
strategy
that
we've
had
in
mind.
So
we've
really
started
off
by
setting
up
the
foundation
at
first
for
a
scalable
decentralization
as
even
discussed,
and
we've
now
started
paying
attention
to
unlocking
some
of
the
use
cases
by
enabling
the
developers
by
providing
the
right
set
of
toolkits
for
them.
F
And
after
that,
it
really
becomes
a
matter
of
scaling
those
use
cases
and
scaling
the
tools
kits
that
are
available
for
the
developers,
so
the
whole
system
can
work.
So
with
that
in
mind,
now
we
can
actually
look
at
what
the
roadmap
is
is
going
to
be
for
the
next
few
years.
So
right
now
we're
at
a
point
where
we've
had
a
couple
test
nets
that
really
helped
us
validate
some
of
our
assumptions
in
terms
of
how
the
protocol
works.
F
We
have
one
more
test
that
coming
in
november
that
are
going
to
help
us
validate
that
our
tokenomics
are
working
as
expected.
We
have
a
test
world
on
adversarial
test
net
coming
later
in
the
year
as
well,
and
then,
after
that,
we're
ready
for
mainnet
phase
one,
and
this
is
going
to
really
deliver
the
succinct
blockchain.
F
F
A
A
Here
are
some
ways
that
you
can
get
involved
and
learn
some
more
about
nina.
So
we've
got
lots
of
events
coming
up
in
the
next
few
months,
and
here
are
just
some
of
them.
We
have
the
zk
at
home
event
on
october
6th,
where
isaac
will
be
going
into
more
detail
about
mina's
pickle
snark,
so
don't
miss
that
we'll
also
have
the
zk
privacy
summit
on
october
19th
and
that's
hosted
by
dystopia
labs
and
mina
will
also
be
at
the
futurist
conference
on
november,
the
11th.
A
Now
these
are
all
free
events,
so
do
sign
up
to
learn
more
about
mina
and
also
keep
an
eye
on
our
twitter
page
as
well
for
more
announcements
about
upcoming
events,
and
here
are
some
more
ways
you
can
get
involved
as
well
with
mina.
So
genesis,
as
many
of
you
may
know,
is
a
special
program
to
onboard
mina's
genesis
founding
members
ahead
of
our
mainnet
launch.
Now
these
members
will
be
the
backbone
of
the
network
and
will
receive
a
distribution
of
66
000
tokens
to
stake
with
and
also
to
participate
as
block
producers.
A
So
in
test
world
you
can
earn
rewards
for
finding
critical
bugs
and
just
to
help
us
push
the
boundaries
of
the
network
to
make
mina
as
secure
as
possible
before
mainnet,
so
go
to
minaprotocol.com
adversarial
to
sign
up
for
updates.
On
that
and
again,
as
bijan
mentioned,
we
also
have
a
snaps
developer
program
in
the
pipeline
too.
So
stay
tuned
for
updates
on
that.
A
But
ultimately,
you
know
a
huge
thank
you
to
the
community.
We
really
appreciate
everything
that
you've
done
so
far
to
help
us
grow
the
community,
and
now
we
need
your
help
again
to
help
us
spread
the
word
about
mina,
so
we've
taken
on
board
all
of
your
comments
from
surveys
and
calls
since
last
year-
and
we
published
a
letter
today
on
behalf
of
the
community,
and
this
highlights
everything
we've
learned
from
your
feedback.
A
So
please
show
your
support
for
mina
and
co-sign
the
letter
by
clapping
on
medium
and
remember.
You
can
clap
up
to
50
times
so
every
clap
counts.
So
please
do
go
ahead
and
read
the
letter
and
show
us
some
support
there,
and
also,
if
you
could
like
and
retweet
the
letter
on
twitter
as
well,
just
to
show
your
support.
That
would
be
amazing
and
if
you
aren't
already
following
us
on
twitter,
please
make
sure
you
do
that
as
well.
A
And
finally,
we
will
be
hosting
a
telegram
ama
on
october
9th,
and
this
will
be
to
answer
all
of
your
questions
about
mina
and
the
road
ahead,
and
I
know
many
of
you
are
already
on
our
discord.
Server,
but
please
do
join
us
on
our
telegram
group
as
well
as
you
won't
want
to
miss
the
telegram
ama
and
also
just
take
a
quick
look
at
our
mina
subreddit
as
well.
A
We'll
have
something
fun
later
there
today
for
the
whole
community
to
take
part
in
so
that's
our
subreddit,
which
is
mina
protocol,
and
that
brings
our
event
to
a
close
today.
Thank
you
again.
So
much
for
all
of
your
support
community
is
really
at
the
heart
of
mina
and
we're
so
grateful
for
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
being
part
of
our
community.
