In a world where data privacy and security have become paramount concerns, and for Web3 projects in particular gas costs and data constraints are pain points, zero knowledge technology stands at the forefront as a transformative solution. To help foster adoption, O(1) Labs is thrilled to announce the next edition of our O(1) Labs Partner Program, an initiative designed to facilitate rigorous testing, gather valuable feedback, and foster the development of proofs-of-concept for zero knowledge applications and use cases. We are kicking off with 8 visionary companies across the Web3 world who are exploring zero knowledge solutions.
Empowering Partners with SnarkyJS and Technical Support
Through this program, program participants gain access to special support from the O(1) Labs team while trialing our flagship product, SnarkyJS, a Typescript library for building zero knowledge applications. This ensures they can explore new use cases using zero knowledge technology with confidence. O(1) Labs is on deck to support those participants who then choose to move to full build-out.
Testnet Edition with 8 Handpicked Partners
This program is an evolution of last year’s SnarkyJS Launch Partner Program, and this latest edition of the O(1) Labs Partner Program focuses on zero knowledge applications (zkApps) as the Mina ecosystem progresses toward the final stages of the Mina Berkeley Testnet. For this, we have handpicked 8 forward-thinking projects with a keen interest in exploring the vast potential of zero knowledge.
About each of our Partners:
- Mad Oath provides the gaming industry with best-in-class design, development, and production with an emphasis on Web3 and blockchain technologies. They will be exploring the use of SnarkyJS to create a blackjack game, with ZK-based code running client-side.
- Terminal 3 is the user data solution for the future. They are using zero knowledge proofs to allow secure information access, enabling users to securely store their data and control its access permissions and use across applications. This also allows enterprises to remain compliant with data and security regulations when utilizing customer data.
- Veridise is a blockchain security company that builds software analysis tools for Web3 developers. Their team of world-class researchers plans to explore proof of liabilities mechanisms using SnarkyJS.
- Galxe is the leading platform for building Web3 communities. With over 11 million unique users, Galxe has propelled the growth of Optimism, Polygon, Arbitrum, and more than 2,900 partners with reward-based loyalty programs.
- Civic creates digital identity products for the Metaverse, Web3, and DeFi. Civic’s flagship product, Civic Pass, is a multi-chain, wallet-agnostic identity and access management solution (IAM) for smart contracts, dApps, and Web2 companies entering blockchain.
- Tellor is a transparent and permissionless oracle protocol for smart contracts to easily get any data whenever needed. Tellor will explore using SnarkyJS for creating a more scalable cross-chain oracle.
- HashCloak is an R&D firm focused on helping teams build full-stack privacy into their blockchain products to provide protection at every layer.
- Tally runs on-chain DAOs for protocols, treasuries, and public goods. Tally will work with O(1) Labs to explore verifiable off-chain voting design patterns.
Paving the Way for the Next Generation of Applications
The O(1) Labs Partner Program aligns perfectly with our vision of building the next generation of applications powered by zero knowledge technology. It will also complement the Mina Foundation’s zkIgnite program, which provides mentorship and funding to builders in our ecosystem. With programs like these, we are excited to see the thriving ecosystem come together collaboratively to unlock the potential of SnarkyJS and zkApps and to open up possibilities for our partners.
Interested in Getting Involved?
While we are not accepting additional partners for this edition, we are setting the stage for future editions of this program that will accompany the ongoing development of the Mina protocol and the adoption of zero knowledge. We are open to applications from innovative projects who are either planning to build zkApps on Mina, or interested in verifying proofs off-chain on a peer-to-peer basis. If this sounds like you, please reach out to us at partners@o1labs.org to explore.
