Miden

Miden is a next-generation zero-knowledge (ZK) blockchain that moves transaction execution and data storage to the edge, allowing users to execute transactions locally and privately on their own devices. The protocol combines programmable privacy with quantum-resistant cryptography and unrivaled scalability, enabling a new class of private business applications including confidential payments, treasury management, and compliant banking. Miden raised a $25 million seed round led by a16z crypto, 1kx, and Hack VC after spinning out of Polygon's Agglayer Breakout Program.
