Deploying to Mina Protocol is like assembling IKEA furniture blindfolded - frustrating, occasionally humiliating, but weirdly addictive. I battled CLI errors, outsmarted Testnet faucets & learned that "zk-SNARKs" means trust the math elves.

Built a private zkApp on Mina Protocol using O1js, a TypeScript library for building zk-SNARK circuits. Updated a number with constraints and deployed to testnet.

ICP's scalable architecture & speed appeal to devs & users with direct app hosting on the blockchain, ensuring decentralization, security & reduced costs, aiming to democratize the internet & empower creators.

O1js is a TypeScript-based framework for building zero-knowledge apps on Mina Protocol. It provides type safety, built-in testing tools & comprehensive documentation making zkApp dev more accessible.
