 ## Motivation
 
+The zkApps protocol aims to add a smart contract layer to Mina which extends the potential of zero knowledge cryptography by enabling the following characteristics while preserving the succinctness of Mina:<br/> 
+  **General programmability** - able to execute and settle arbitrary programs, not constrained to a particular VM model, but instead flexibly designed to support any number of execution models, VM-like or otherwise <br/>
+  **Programmable privacy** - the privacy of both inputs to smart contracts and their state can be programmed by their developers<br/>
