Why you should listen

Using zero knowledge technology, Mina is creating the infrastructure for a secure, democratic future. Mina’s zkApps, smart contracts powered by zero knowledge, keep users in control of their privacy by validating and sharing proofs of their data, rather than the data itself. Think about getting a loan by simply sharing a proof of your personal ID and credit score, rather than the data itself.  No risk of your personal information being hacked or sold. You are the only one owning your data, and it never leaves your device.
