+# Protokit
+
+## Introduction to Protokit 
+
+Protokit is a **development framework for building zkApps** requiring shared state. Built on top of o1js, Protokit simplifies the developer experience, increases throughput, and decreases latency by orchestrating state transitions between an off-chain sequencer and the Mina L1.
+
+Further features, such as runtime abstractions and merkelized data storage, provide components out of the box that zkApp developers would otherwise have to build on top of o1js. 
+
+**Please note that Protokit is in alpha, and settlement support with reorgs is still in progress.**

+## Key benefits of using Protokit
+
+**Concurrency:** Solves concurrency issues for applications with shared state through a novel hybrid execution model.
+
+**Performance**: Improves throughput (TPS) and latency on block production while maintaining Mina L1’s security.
+
+**Developer Experience:** Saves developers writing thousands of lines of code by providing an integrated, verifiable storage solution.
+
+**Flexibility:** Provides a modular architecture that developers can easily customize for their own application’s needs. 
+
+**Zero Knowledge:** Uses the same primitives and proofs as o1js, so Protokit code is provable and compatible with the Mina blockchain by design. 
+
+
+## When to use Protokit
+
+Protokit is well-suited for high-throughput zkApps with multiple concurrent users and applications requiring shared state.
+
+Use Protokit for:
+
+
+
+* DEXes
+* Lending protocols
+* Gaming
+* Lotteries
+* NFT marketplaces
+* Anything that needs a shared state
+
+Choosing [which Protokit mode to use](https://docs.minaprotocol.com/zkapps/zkapp-development-frameworks) (Based Sequencing or Hybrid Sequencing mode) depends on what you’re looking to optimize for in your own zkApp.
