Mina's Mainnet Upgrade Enables Privacy Applications, Adds Programmability Layer

Mina, a zero-knowledge focused blockchain, has undergone a mainnet upgrade that enables privacy applications and adds a programmability layer. The upgrade allows for off-chain computation and proof generation, making Mina decentralized from the start. The blockchain's transparency at the base layer ensures openness and verification of transactions, while privacy is maintained at the higher application layers.
