@Drea_MinaFoundation @RHT313 The following three discussions on this forum are all extremely good examples that could be developed into a thread of short summaries, and then at the final tweet point to the original links on MinaResearch.

[Product Research Sketch] Mina For Anonymous DAO Voting

Hello. I’m new to the Mina forum but I’ve been following the project since the early beginning. I’m CTO at AragonLabs and co-Founder at Vocdoni.io (project that was acquired by Aragon 1 year ago).
