In a blog post on Tuesday, the Mina Protocol team announced that it has launched Aligned Bridge, which allows Ethereum developers to leverage the power of ‘Proof of Everything.’
Aligned is a ZK verification layer designed to provide Ethereum with infrastructure that can verify any type of ZK proof cheaply and quickly. The layer is crucial because many ZK technologies struggle with interoperability with Ethereum and access to cheap verification within the EVM. Developers can create ZK proofs on Mina and use them on Ethereum and in dApps.
Mina is a layer-1 protocol with a succinct blockchain. The current blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum store hundreds of gigabytes of data, and their blockchains will only increase in size over time. MINA is up 10% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.45449 at press time.
