Mina Protocol has successfully completed its Berkeley mainnet upgrade, marking a significant milestone for the blockchain platform. The upgrade process, which began on June 4, 2024, involved multiple stages including transaction stop slots, network stop slots, and the release of the upgrade package. The first Berkeley block was created on June 5, 2024, finalizing the upgrade. This achievement makes Mina the first ZK blockchain with general-purpose ZK programmability on mainnet. The upgrade aims to prioritize truth, reduce costs, preserve privacy, and ensure verifiability on any device. The Mina community, including core developers, app and tool developers, and node operators, played a crucial role in this successful upgrade.
