Miden vs traditional Ethereum wallets hits different once you actually try it
Most wallets are just key containers: you sign, you pray, everything is public. With
@0xMiden, your “account” behaves more like a programmable engine running on your own device. You define rules, limits, and even what data the chain is allowed to see
Think smart wallets that:
- auto-budget weekly spending
- require a second device or time delay for large transfers
- enforce custom limits for business payouts
- prove you’re allowed to do something without revealing your full history
All of this executes locally, then you ship a zk proof back to Ethereum for verification
Feels less like a wallet, more like a self-custody OS. If this model wins, do we ever go back to dumb key wallets again?
