what's o1Labs?
o1Labs is a remote-first blockchain technology company pioneering tools and software powered by zero knowledge cryptography. They incubated Mina Protocol, the lightest blockchain using zk-SNARKs to enable a succinct 22KB state, allowing verifiable computations without revealing underlying data. Their products empower developers to integrate ZK proofs into applications for privacy-preserving solutions across Web3 and beyond. As an employee-governed entity, o1Labs focuses on advancing ZK infrastructure for scalable, secure decentralized systems.
o1Labs presented Mina's zkID suitability (recursion, no trusted setup, proof singularity) at EFDevcon.
