O(1) Labs is a team of cryptographers and engineers passionate about bringing the world programmable money. We are building Mina Protocol, the world's lightest blockchain powered by recursive zk-SNARKs. Mina compresses the entire blockchain into the size of a few tweets (about 22kb), enabling a new generation of accessible, secure decentralized applications.
Our mission is to build privacy-preserving gateway between the real world and crypto, and the secure, democratic future we all deserve. Through zero-knowledge proofs, Mina enables developers to build applications that interact with any website without compromising user privacy or security. This revolutionary approach allows for verification without revelation, creating new possibilities for decentralized identity, private voting systems, and secure data sharing.
Founded in 2017 by Evan Shapiro and Izaak Meckler, O(1) Labs has raised significant funding from top-tier investors including Coinbase Ventures, Polychain Capital, and Metastable Capital. The team consists of world-class cryptographers, protocol developers, and engineers who are committed to advancing the state of zero-knowledge cryptography and blockchain scalability solutions.
