Berkeley Testnet Alpha now live

During the last 6 months, Mina Protocol has consistently ranked in the top 3 cryptocurrency projects with the highest number of GitHub Commits. This work hasn’t been in vain and last night the ‘Berkeley Testnet Alpha’ was launched. It is the first real opportunity for developers to deploy zkApps in a testnet environment. Have a look at Emre’s tweet below and visit the Mina Protocol website HERE to find out more.

For developers looking to build a zkApp, there is some essential reading HERE.

Although we’re not making a big fuss about it just yet;

this IS a decentralized testnet that anyone can run nodes on, with a fully functioning offchain zk execution environment!🤯

🚀 So proud of the all star team we have @o1_labs

Come build and deploy zkApps with SnarkyJS! https://t.co/U2juOdnk1K
