Another cool piece of crypto tech is mina, there's really interesting bits of math & engineering being done as well as all the shilling, scams and speculation

Mina, Grin, Beam are all interesting constructions. I’ve played with them but I felt quite nervous. They throw away too much information to be secure. Maybe totally unsuitable for value storage? The lack of audibility means your savings might be invalidated one day.

All it takes is a single mistake and the Mina chain become useless, taking out all the embedded txs.
