Mina Protocol to Host Community Call on March 13th

Exciting News from the o1Labs Team working on Mina Protocol 🪶!

The Upgrade Mechanism Testing (UMT) program – a crucial step in ensuring a seamless transition for Mina's upcoming Berkeley Upgrade – has concluded successfully. 🎉

🔍 The UMT program, run jointly by o1Labs and Mina Foundation 🪶, focused on validating end-to-end and dry-running upgrade mechanisms and tools, integral for the Berkeley Upgrade. This paves the way for zk-powered applications on Mina Protocol - a feat that pushes our entire industry forward!

But we couldn’t have done it alone! Community Involvement was key 🤝
To the 45 Node Operators, thank you for running…
👉 80 Block Producing Nodes
👉 2 SNARK Coordinators with 16 SNARK Workers
👉 and 3 Archive Nodes

📅 The testing program spanned several days, simulating the Berkeley Upgrade. Their dedication and support during this crucial phase truly showcased the strength and unity of the Mina community! 🙌

Today marked the end of our monitoring period, and we’re thrilled to share that no critical issues or bugs were identified. Up next: we’ll upgrade the Mina Devnet before we take center stage with the main event!

Get ready to witness the much-anticipated hard fork that will elevate Mina Protocol to new heights. Your support fuels our progress! 💫❤️
