About o1labs

o1Labs is the team that incubated, launched, and contributed to the Mina Protocol, a Layer 1 blockchain that compresses data from hundreds of gigabytes to the size of a few tweets.

By harnessing the power of Mina and zero-knowledge technology, we aim to lead the development of a privacy-centered Web 3.0. In late 2024, we announced [Project Untitled], an L1 solution designed to address application state management issues within Web3. [Project Untitled] is a placeholder name and branding. We are working with an agency to give it an identity.
