Cohort 1: Supporting Developers and Entrepreneurs
Mina Protocol is designed to remain constant despite growth in usage, making it one of the world’s lightest blockchains that offer efficient distributed payments systems where users can natively verify right from genesis block. To support ambitious developers and entrepreneurs building zkApps and tooling on Mina Protocol, Cohort 1 – also known as zkIgnite – was initiated as a three-month program offering top projects $500K USDC and 500K MINA tokens each.

Golden Cross: A Bullish Signal?
The recent bullish run has triggered off something called ‚golden cross‘ which could turn out to be an important signal that could indicate strong bullish momentum ahead depending upon how traders react to this pattern when they realize its presence in charts i.e whether they decide to buy or sell after getting aware about it or not.
Conclusion
MINA price began 2021 slowly but has since recovered significantly due to increased investor interest around Cohort 1 launch date coming near along with bullish signs such as golden cross appearing on charts which could potentially lead prices even higher if traders decide to buy instead of selling when made aware about them .
