In Brief:
- Polygon is rolling out support for the Mina protocol.
- It will allow developers to build privacy-preserving dapps on the polygon.
- Integration will help to enhance scalability, privacy, and Verifiability to the DeFi economy.
Polygon integrates with Mina protocol, the world’s lightest blockchain, to add support of Mina on Polygon.
According to the announcement, the bridge between Polygon and Mina will enable developers to build applications on Polygon to leverage privacy and verifiability via Mina’s zero knowledge-SNARK-based protocol. Mina and Polygon will bring enhanced scalability, privacy, and verifiability to the DeFi economy.
Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon said: “Building a bridge between Polygon and Mina is an important step towards achieving our shared vision of a fully decentralized ecosystem of dapps that keeps users in control of their data. Developers building on the Polygon PoS chain will now be able to seamlessly incorporate the enhanced privacy and verifiability enabled by Mina Protocol.”
Here are some of the potential dapps that can be built on Polygon by leveraging Mina’s zero knowledge-SNARK-powered protocol:
- DeFi protocol requiring KYC can pull in user information privately and securely using Mina’s Snapps.
- Non-fungible token (NFT) builders who want to keep certain elements private, such as ownership data, could use Mina to achieve this.
- Additionally, social media dapps can verify that users are real people without requiring them to share personally identifiable information (PII).
Evan Shapiro, CEO of the Mina Foundation, said, “Mina Foundation shares Polygon’s dream of a fully decentralized ecosystem of dapps empowering users with control over their own data privacy. We are very excited about the privacy-preserving and verifiable applications that will be launched on Polygon utilizing Mina Protocol.”
