Miden: An Ethereum L2 Scaling Solution Focused on Privacy-Preserving Computation
Project Overview
Miden is an Ethereum L2 scaling solution focused on privacy-preserving computation. Its core technology is zero-knowledge rollup, built on top of Ethereum, using the Miden VM to execute transactions. It supports parallel transaction execution and client-side proving, emphasizing privacy and high throughput. Unlike traditional blockchains, Miden moves computation to the user side, where users locally execute and prove transactions, submitting only the proof to the chain.
In late April this year, Miden announced the completion of a $25 million seed funding round, co-led by a16z crypto, Hack VC, and 1kx. Other investors include Finality Capital Partners, Symbolic Capital, and notable angel investors like Aptos co-founder Avery Ching.
