The severely underestimated zk-Rollup endgame: Miden @0xMiden ▰ Miden @0xMiden isn’t just another Polygon L2. Miden has officially split from Polygon Labs to operate independently and has completed a $25M funding round led by a16z and Hack VC. This also means it’s no longer just a subsidiary of Polygon. Why is a16z confident enough to bet big on it? Because it’s the “outlier” in Ethereum scaling. ▰ Core Technology Rollups using client-side proofs (zkEVM) are still congested because they rely on nodes for computation. Miden @0xMiden’s core innovation is: users generate proofs locally, and the chain only handles verification. ❌ Before: Everyone squeezing through one toll booth (EVM). ✅ Miden: Everyone carries their own pass to cross the gate (local proofs). This theoretically means unlimited TPS and extremely low gas fees. Miden @0xMiden adopts the Actor model + UTXO, achieving true parallel execution. It delivers Solana-level high concurrency performance while inheriting Ethereum’s security. If zkEVM is the past, Miden is built to support the high-frequency applications of the future. ▰ Interaction Strategy ＞ Stake POL ＞ Participate in the Kaito leaderboard ＞ Testnet interaction https://miden.xyz/testnet, claim faucet tokens + download wallet for interaction
