what's O(1) Labs?
O(1) Labs is a globally distributed blockchain technology company founded in 2017, specializing in zero-knowledge cryptography to enable scalable and private Web3 applications. The company incubated the Mina Protocol, the world's lightest blockchain powered by zk-SNARKs, which maintains a constant size of just 22KB regardless of transaction history, allowing for efficient verification on mobile devices and low-resource environments. Through its work on zero-knowledge proofs, O(1) Labs develops tools and infrastructure like the MIPS zkVM to support fraud proofs and interoperability in ecosystems such as Optimism and Mina. As an employee-governed organization, it emphasizes remote collaboration, diversity, and open-source contributions to advance privacy-preserving technologies in decentralized systems.
O(1) Labs' Co-CEO Deepthi discussed ZK-based privacy and client-side proving at India Blockchain Week.
