Miden (
@0xMiden ) looks like coming to Kaito 🐰
here is some info about them;
Miden is Polygon’s edge first zk rollup designed to solve the scalability and privacy limits of today’s blockchains. Instead of forcing every transaction to be executed and re-executed by the network, Miden shifts computation and state handling to the client side. Users generate zero knowledge proofs locally, and the chain only verifies these proofs, which removes bottlenecks and protects sensitive data. This approach creates a faster, more private, and more resource efficient environment for applications.
At the core of the system is the Miden VM, a STARK-based virtual machine built for high performance proving. Programs running on the VM automatically produce execution proofs, allowing validators to confirm correctness without revealing user data or re running computation. This foundation enables applications to scale independently: each user performs their own execution, while the network only needs to verify compact proofs. Miden also uses an actor-based state model that avoids global state bloat and allows parallel updates, making it suitable for apps with large numbers of active users.
The result is a new design space for decentralized applications. Developers get Rust-based smart contract tooling, flexible account abstraction, and a privacy preserving state model. Users gain faster performance, stronger data control, and the ability to interact with applications without exposing unnecessary information. By combining edge execution with zk proofs, Miden aims to enable a new generation of scalable, privacy centric applications built on Ethereum security.
