✅ Track 1: zkApp End-to-End (E2E) Testing
✅ Track 2: External Security Auditing
✅ Track 3: Network Performance Testing
🔁 Track 4: Preparation for the Upgrade
Bring on Track 4, including testing of the upgrade mechanism and final validations.
We are sincerely grateful for the passion and support from Mina during this Open Beta! 🚀 We are thankful for the partnership with Mina Protocol which has allowed us to implement the ZK-voting system. 🙏Our gratitude also extends to the various partners in the Mina ecosystem.👍
People will realize over time that Punkpoll can handle over a billion votes in a single day (12 hours) in countries like India. This demonstrates the ability to process approximately 83.3 million votes per hour and a staggering 23,200 votes per second using minaprotocol. 🗳️✨
Q5: What are some interesting portfolios that might be very inclined to modular approaches? Is this an area of interest for your fund?
A: One flagship use case is “PunkPoll,” a decentralized voting/survey poll system built on Mina using o1js. PunkPoll uses Mina’s ZKP to enable
