Hazook is one of the first implementations of a recursive zkRollup for Mina that parallelizes state proof accumulation. It is open-source and built to easily integrate with o1js zkApps and zkRollups.
Protokit…
Leverage recursive zkRollups to batch thousands of L2 transactions into a single proof posted to Mina’s L1 🤌
Recursive zkRollups are a ZKP accumulator tool to efficiently process transactions and optimize blockspace utilization for zkApps.

Other blockchains typically run computations on-chain and use a variable gas-fee based model.
zkApps can execute unlimited off-chain computations for a flat fee 💪
@ChaoticBeautys
@MinaProtocol
@o1_labs
Mina is what Ethereum wants to be. But with enshrined roll-ups and dev ecosystem that is web friendly. You can teach consensus at the speed of light, but what is faster is infinite parallel execution of chain. 500-800 tps is in effect infinite X.
